Hi everyone,
I recently built an electric skateboard with mainly parts from HK.
SK3 149kv motor, 2x 3S 5000mAh batteries, 150A X-Car Beast ESC, Bad Wolf V2 Mod controller and a selfmade Motor mount made out of 1cm PVC plate (easily doable with just a saw).
The ESC I bought is specified at 6S for LiPo batteries which was fine for my initial setup. However a friend now gave me his old 8S LiFePO4 10Ah battery that he apparently no longer needs or wants.
Question now is: can I try to hook this thing up to the ESC directly or should I remove two of the cells to also make it 6S?
Maybe some of you have some experience with this. Unfortunately I also just have a 6S charger - not sure if the additional two cells are actually worth getting a new one.
Let me know what you think.
thanks,
Maxid
