I have a BBS 02 750 watt with a 11.6AH 48 volt battery.
When the battery is freshly charged things are very good.
By the time the battery is down to half charge things are a bit more lethargic and the performance is not so good.
I could fix the problem by adding an extra cell set in series and am tempted to go that way but........
As a radio amateur I have similar problems when operating mobile 12 volt radio transmitters which pull ~25 amps at peak and the output level is very sensitive to battery volts as soon as the engine stops. So to fix this problem we have a unit called "battery booster" which keeps the output at full volts.
I am thinking of doing something similar for my BBS 2. So that the output would always be at (say) 55Volts on to the controller even as the battery output falls. Then when my 13S battery drops to (say) 40 volts drop the booster out and still have a bit of charger to limp home on.
First is there anything out on the market that is doing something similar ?
second what would the group think of such a gadget.
I have the skills to make one and it would be something fun to do, and may just do it anyway.
Regards Bob
