Long post
Hello everyone…
I’m kinda bummed that my battery sucks so hard. I should’ve informed me more and not buy something because one person recommends it.
I have 2x 12.000mAh Lipos in series. I currently use them with a single 6374 Motor and 90mm wheels.
EDIT : the box is just to test if it even works. NOT the final enclosure
Minimum Capacity: 12000mAh Cell Count: 6 / 22.2V Constant Discharge: 12C Peak Discharge (10sec): 24C
I soon upgrade to AT (200mm pneumatics and dual 6374)
I’m a speed person so i often times hit 40-50km/h with my current setup.
If i use my Wowgo 2s i can get 40-50km range with 2x 6.4 Ah battery (If i drive rather slow, if not about 16km per battery) and that range is what i want with my new board.
I really would like to top mount it instead of the bottom if possible but with 18650’s its hard to get a compact battery pack.
Does anyone have a recommendation for good batteries. 30-60km range would be great. EU is prefered. My second “problem” is acceleration.
I use a vesc and the general acceleration is fine but i’ve noticed that when i get speed sometimes there is a small jolt. It reminds me of driving a car if you shift into next gear and you have a small drop and then a small jump with the further acceleration. Is this normal?
My third problem is Voltage.
If i remember correctly.
Series = double voltage, same range Parallel = double range, same voltage
But my battery meter shows something different.
Battery meter showed 59% (both batteries connected) and something about 45.x volt.
If i connect one of my batteries to the charger it says 36% remaining. But shouldn’t the range be the same if connected in series? The battery meter is programmed for L - 12.
With programmed for 6s the battery meter shows 59% at 22.7 volts
