Looking back through the forum, cordless tool packs has been discussed and aren’t particularly cost effective but I can’t find an answer to my question.
There’s a user on Pedelecs who uses a 6s1p, 2.5ah pack for his 10 mile commute and that would suit me fine although I’d like to use a DeWalt pack off the shelf as they’re compatible with my tools, safety, warranty, solid BMS, solid charging, chargers at my destination, can carry a second or third pack if I’m going further. I also only need a very light pedel assist.
It looks like the 60v DeWalt packs need a FlexVolt tool to switch to 60v mode. Someone even managed to brick a pack trying to activate it. That rules out a 54v 3ah Setup.
An 18v nominal controller doesn’t appear to exist, am I right? That rules out an 18v 9ah Setup.
If I went for two 18v packs in series with diodes across them, would I need to be certain they were both at the same voltage before putting them back on the bike? That rules out partial charges at my destination.
I think I’m asking for the impossible?
