Good day, I wonder if anyone can tell me the max CONTINUOUS discharge rate for the 48v 15Ah LifePo4 battery from eBay (sun thing-28)
Here is the specs/details about the battery http://www.ebay.com/itm/48v-15ah-Li...ike-Kits-Powerful-USE-700W-800W-/131551924820
I hear different theories, some people says to cut the discharge rate in half, others say not more than 1C, etc....
The reason I ask is that I have a 24amp controller and my scooter may occasionally draw 20-24 amps for 2-3 seconds when accelerating, HOWEVER when I climb a longer/steeper hills, the 24 amp draw can last 60-90-120 seconds. Am I causing any harm by drawing 24 amps for that length of time?
The battery is a 15ah LifePo4 pouch battery, so I try to keep the discharge rate to .5C or 1C while cruising, but when climbing hills should I reduce the current draw to 1C (15a) and climb slower, or go full speed but draw 24 amps for 1-2 minutes...?
Thanks for any help, IAN.
