coming from a background of motorized bikes i wanted to join the e-bike world so I'm currently building an e-bike on an enduro ebike frame, I'm using a 5000watt qs205 v3 with a 150a sabvoton controller. I'm thinking of using Samsung 40t 21700 cells in the battery in a 20s10p configuration, mainly because they are on sale for $4 a cell new but also because they seem really high discharge and capacity, this should lead to a 40ah battery with 72v at 350a. now my question is, do the Nickle strips need to handle all 350 amps if the controller can only draw a max of 150? and what about the BMS, do I need a BMS that can handle the full 350a? honestly, any advice about anything is appreciated because my knowledge is extremely limited. If you have a different cell recommendation or any thoughts just let me know.
