This is my first build, and i need some advice from you guys.
I want my longboard to be able to drive reasonably fast for long ranges. I´m aming for 25km range with 25kph continous. But I am too cheap to buy a buch of battery packs .
sooo… I thought that I could make my own 10s battery pack with high capacity and low prize with these 2200mah single cells from hobbykingturingy 2200 1s 20c lipos.
10 of these in series would make a 22ah battery pack for only 28 bucks.
I know that soldering lipos is dangerous, but with enough precautions totally doable.
This all sounds great but i never saw a thread or build on this forum about that. Why is that? Am I missing something, that makes this plan unsuitable? Do you have tips for soldering the lipos?
Any advice would be great!
The other parts I plan to use:
ESC: HobbyKing X-Car Beast Series ESC 1:8 Scale 120A
Motor: Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 - 6374-192KV Brushless Outrunner Motor
Board: ninetysixty boobam
Li ion is the future man.
As more I try to find an appropriate LiPo for myself I hate them more lol
Just get a li ion pack.
Im planning to build an 12s7p pack out of 25Rs for only 290$
That should give me 17,5Ah and 777Wh (17,5Ah*44,4volts)
If you use Lipos, it is important to use packs with a high C rating
Preferably 50C and above
I’m running 10s 5ah 60C Lipo packs and my range is maxed out at 14 miles
Get the battery with the highest c rating and capacity. 5ah will get you anywhere from 15km to 20km.
Higher c rating means less internal resistance under load. A battery with low c rating will die faster than one with high c rating because you’re asking more from the battery than it can provide.
C rating is much like horse power. More hp means more power to the wheels under load, which in turn means more range.
