Hi ES members.
Please don't be mad at me if this info is already been posted somewhere on this forum.
I've been reading a lot up on battery and how to run them in series and parallel.
I have a trike I am working on.
My hub motor is a mxus 6t on a 17" moped rim.
My controller is a 12fet.
I will have a CAv3 installed with this setup.
So 1st question is about volt vs amp.
I used to run pro 4wd rc.
My understanding back then was higher amp gives you more run time while high voltage makes you go faster.
But with my trike build what will be more better?
Running 48volt with a combine amp of 20ah or 72volt 10ah.
Which of the 2 will give me more run time.
I know speed will be a question so if all being equal 25mph which of the 2 packs will give me a longer run time and which of the 2 will be easier to maintain.
2nd question is about lipo pack configuration.
My current battery I have are 8x 6s lipo 5000mah.
I've seen people first parallel a pack then put them into series.
example they would take 3x 6s 5000mah and tape them in parallel which would give them 6s 15000mah pack.
Then they will twist all the balancing wires together from each pack. so pack1, pack2 and pack3 1st pin are all twisted together etc... which will give me a single balancing connector for a 3p battery pack.
How does that help with balancing?
Like if pack1 cell-1 is 4.1, pack2 cell-1 is 4.0 and pack3 cell-1 is 4.04 how does the balance charge the set of cells?
What is the benefit of having them setup in pack of 3p before making them serial to get the voltage you want?
Thank you for your time.
Simon
