inedible
100 W
I just finished upgrading my Motorino XPd scooter with a new motor, new batteries, and a new controller, but I'm not getting the kind of power I was expecting.
My previous setup was 4x nissan leaf modules modified to 16S1P, a Kelly KEB72301X controller, and the stock 500W motorino motor. New setup is 10x leaf modules for 20S2P, an Adaptto Midi-E controller, and a QSMotor 205 V3 50H 3T.
I was expecting going from a 1500w controller to an 8kw one would be a dramatic increase in torque, but it's absolutely not. The kelly actually jumped off the start, I could absolutely not stop it with my feet. This Adaptto is smooth as butter and weak as a kitten. I can floor the throttle with my feet on the ground and I go nowhere. Starting on small hills is a problem with reasonable power settings. So I cranked the amperage to max, shortened the throttle curve, now it starts maybe a little faster than my 500W stock chinesium controller, and has a lot more oomph when opening the throttle and going from 30 to 60, but within a minute of riding the temperature on the controller exceeds 75C and cuts all power.
So far I've run the autodetect process a half a dozen times then tried tuning manually according to doctorbass's guide. The autodetect always seems to want to set my angle correction to +6 degrees or so, but the motor is noticeably noisy at that setting. I find +1-2 degrees sounds smoother. The ind timing gets set around 500 by autodetect, but the motor gets noticeably faster at 550-600. The power timing gets set to +0.51, and changing this to any other value seems to increase heat. The really freaking annoying thing is I can't set it to anything between 0.3 and 0.5. A single press of the button adjusts by 2. Why the hell do they call this fine tuning if you can't possibly tune as fine as the autodetect can? Bah! Curse you, adaptto!
Anyway, I've spent all day on this, trying different settings, and the only way I can keep the controller below 60 degrees is by setting the amperage to such a low setting I need to push off to start, which is simply ridiculous. My kelly controller was able to pull a 200+lb trailer up 6% grade hills from a standstill no problems and the controller never got even slightly warm... I must be doing something wrong here, but I can't imagine what.
Any ideas would be super welcome!
