Battery discharge curve

Is it possible to programme a VESC to flatten out the discharge curve of a battery? For example when the battery is fresh there is plenty of power so you dont need full throttle, Perhaps the VESC could compensate for this, whereas as the battery voltage depletes more throttle is needed. 
Is there a way of adjusting the throttle calibration/ introducing a limit and then adjusting that as the percentage of charge drops?

Does anyone have any experience of doing this? 

Thanks

It seems that you are aiming to control the RPM instead of the current with the throttle. If the maximum RPM that suits your needs does not result in the maximum current draw, then you won't be able to fill the difference on the throttle as the battery current drops. There are other control options available in the ADC App Settings, though I'm not sure if RPM is one of them.
