So we have all heard to never expect a battery to preform to 100% of its rated capacity, right?
I mean it says 8.2 amps, I should count my self lucky if I get 7 out of it, right?
Its just the way things are. Your date says she's 28, she's realy 34. your Girlfriend says she put gas in your car, she ment 2 gallons past the E. Your battery says its 8.2 amp hours, its useable for 6 or 7.
Well its just not true! Some of you may remember my battery. I'm the crazy one who runs 2 Lipos. 37 volts, 8.2 amps each, run in series for 74 volts, 8.2 amps. Its only 9 pounds, and I've been happy with it, despite the threat of explosions
And knowing you never get what you expect, I usualy planned my trips to use no more that 5 amps, incase I needed a reserve amp or two. Infact the most I've ever used was 6 amps, untill tonight.
Tonight I decide to try a speed run, setup on the 4012 at 74 volts, the bike does 25 easily. So I ride off to have some fun, and don't look at the Amp meter. around an hour later I'm almost home, and realize i've burned off 7.5 amps.
Needless to say I'm impressed, but I'm also still doing 23mph, so I'm evve more impressed. But it doesn't end there. I decide since I'm having so much fun anyway, i'll go around the block and see if the speed starts to drop. Around the block turned into around the park,, down to another block, across a field, and so forth. my top speed dropped to 22mph, and I decided to quit pressing my luck, Since I had just done the imposable. The pictures are the proof. 8.5 amps from an 8.2 amp battery, and it was still delivering 22mph from its original 25.
Yes, I do recomend Itselectric Lipo batteies!
