LVC not reached.

3.2v/cell, which is +10%, I wonder what the sensing tolerance is in an ESC? Also, how did you measure the 12.8v at the point the LVC kicked in? Was it under a high load or just quiescent voltage? Multimeter or telemetry reading? Whatever, 3.2v is near enough flat that I would try to avoid going lower than that.

It isn't cutting in early - it is hitting that voltage under load, but when you remove the load at the end of the flight that voltage recovers. This is common to all battery chemistries and perfectly normal. 12.8V = 3.2V/cell; personally I don't run my packs down that low as it represents somewhere between 8 and 18% remaining, well into the zone where a drop in ambient temperature could result in pack damage. I suggest you cut 10% off your flight timer or start using telemetry to monitor your packs unless you are happy for them to have a short life.
