Change caps from 63 to 100v uf

[filor6]

They advised me to replace the 63v 470uf capacitors with 100v 470uf, so as not to stress the circuit and increase the power somewhat in general. Can I replace them without having negative effects? Is this a good idea? I ask you with experience. Thank you

My escooter 48v 800 watt (15 ah battery)

Did "They" suggest a shunt mod too perhaps? It would provide your caps with a healthier overhead above the max battery voltage your pack can provide. But as a standalone mod seems pretty useless to me.

who are the mysterious 'They' ????

You can see his shunt mod, but there is no reason to raise the working voltage on the capacitors unless he is going to go over 60V. And when you look at the big picture, it's just a tiny six MOSFET controller. Anything further than what has already been done will likely blow those six transistors up,

changing caps won't increase power

lots of threads about ways to do that if you read around the forum (over a decade and a half's worth with all sorts of controller types)

after you increase the controller power draw you'll have to replace your battery too so it can supply taht extra power without damaging it

Thank you, perfect, you clarified something important for me. As a final doubt, however, I was unable to make the speed k2 circuit work even though it reads about 3.6 volts with gnd. Do you have any other useful tips?
