I tried uploading a video from recording on my phone but apparently won’t let me unless it’s on some sort of other format.
I wanna thanks the website here it had a lot of information that I need. Also wanna thank to everyone that replied back to me. You people are awesome
9S1P 5000mah 25c 166wh. 5mah is tiny You have 21wh/mile efficiency which is relatively low. I have avg 15wh/mile cruising at 15mph. And I am 110lb. Wonder where the energy went.
It was my first build, didn’t know to much about batteries at the time(I’m still trying to figure it out)
I should of went with something like (2) 5s 8000mah right ? Better range and even more faster ?
For speed use 2 x 6s in series for 12s. For VESC reliability, use 10s just like you said. wh(watt-hour) is ah(amp-hour) times voltage. Higher the wh, the more range.
9s? You mean 12s? 6-10s is absolutely fine. 10s is optimal for VESC. 12s is where you should stop. I use 13s due to technical reasons and I occasionally get VESC shut-off’s regen-breaking when battery is fully charged.
He’s on 9s now
@MannyM0E 9s is completely fine, I used 9s for months cause that was the most I could fit, it’s only a couple mph diff at the top end compared to 10s
You’re missing the meaning of “pushing the limit”
You havent exceeded the limits of a 10s4p for instance, you’re not exceeding anything by just having a 13s battery plugged in
Like I said youre not exceeding the limits of lower voltages…so how does going higher make sense
@ZackoryCramer I’m all for pursuing and exceeding limits(safely) but does getting a Ferrari to go faster than a Honda Civic when you’ve only gone 20mph in the Honda make sense?
What motor are you using? Also, I think the limit of your power comes from having only 2 in parallel, the battery can only deliver about 40 Amps in that config. If you want 2+ kw, the safer thing to do would be to run 12s4p or even 12s6p and it’ll get you there.
