I’m buying all the bits for my next build and have realised that the 10s5p battery I’m building won’t quite get me to work on my commute…
So I’ve come up with a slightly sideways plan.
If I make a 2s5p battery pack and plug that into my loopkey I’d have a 12s5p for my long commutes and my slick lovely @Hummie with @bigben enclosure for the rest of life…
Wouldn’t you need to add a parallel pack to get more range?
Serial connections will give you higher voltage and more speed. Not sure if the range would add up too
Using a Bluetooth module certain boards allow you to have different setting of each board, you could just have two different settings one for 10s and one for 12s
double stack would be fantastic keeping it slim with nice clearance would likely be easier due to the recess. Wonder how much that would weigh on a build though
single stack is doable on 12s4p with vescs according to @hummie. I’m considering those squeeze packs He’s got planned on the 2 hole deck. Not having to solder would be great
That would be kind of like having swappable packs! so charging while riding? I wouldn’t want to do that but charging at a place without any wall plugs, Then I see much more convenience in it!
Unfortunately establishments without wall plugs can be quite common where I’m based
yea same, i’d prefer to charge up while i’m still out. but yea some people put all this in a box sitting in between their feet while they ride for super long trips. you could even keep extra lipos in your backpack and swap them out then keep going … for everrrrr!
A “how to” thread would be great for this. I’m not sure about charging and riding. But charging without outlets would be great for some of the trails I wanna take.
That would be so cool to have! Lets you get the range from those bigger packs without having to worry about building the board around it and its handy to have!
I’m keen on seeing how that goes! Its a wonder why like you mentioned, nobody is posting about these things
I wonder what the efficiency losses are with the charging through a buck converter method, must be well over 10% at a guess… anyone do better than guess work?
