I've asked this question all over FB, and I keep getting a lot of conflicting answers. If you enable ebraking from a throttle, but disable regen, in the mqcon programming software settings, does that mean you no longer have to worry how many amps are going into the battery?
Almost everyone is telling me that the "amps have to go somewhere" so they must be going in the battery, even if regen is toggled off. My battery can only safely take up to about 10 amps or so, meaning if this is true then I would have to turn my regen down to a level where it's not really giving any meaningful braking force. And of course we all know regen doesn't extend range in any meaningful way, so then what on earth would even be the point???
I'm hoping to find out once and for all what's really safe here. The mqcon manual for this controller just says not to set the phase current for ebraking higher than the maximum phase current for the controller, which is 350 amps!
