korpin said:in answer to some questions above,I am waiting for HPC's new controllers that can handle up to 150 volts to arrive along with their more efficient 4065 specifically wired for over 100 volts ..at that time will put batteries back in series and go to CA display..should be able to go about 55 mph with that set up
right now some strange charging irregularities:
charged my bike one charger got green light display said 58.5 volts
other charger continued to charge for another hour green light display said 59 volts
checked voltage with voltmeter 58 volts both
next day checked 58 volts both but display said 58.5
plugged in chargers one had green light other continued to run 40 minutes (same as one that took additional hour)
something I should be concerned with?

what is the TC65?..crown?
Kike Ming said:Rix, I see your kinda close. At least on the west coast. Fallon yes, been in the area many times. Lots of open space, I like to camp out in the desert, shoot guns and ride quads. Beautiful country! I'm really excited to get this bike going, forgot to say I'm giving regen a try, mostly to reduce brake wear. But it will be nice to get some power back. I'm in Placerville California about an hour, ten minutes from Tahoe. We will have to hit the bike trail up, when summer's back. I also have some small hardtail bikes. BMC V2 and V3 with triangle frame 48v 13a batteries Allstate. very clean builds, I love this shit! Going to have a V4 on a Santa Cruz DH triple clamp fork, big brakes, bike soon too. Allstate 48v 20a backpack battery. The rims bad, going to have it relaced. BMC 50a controller, should be very stealthy. At least until I cannibalize it for the new Orange (not gold) Phasor frame. Of course like I said, doing a Cro motor with that set up. I'm going to find a new bike for the V4 and backpack battery at that point, so fun! I love playing with hub motor ebikes. Great to be with my people.
I haven't done back to back testing with the 5400 as they're largely no longer available but after ongoing testing with the crown I found the efficiency is quite good. Torture testing yesterday I found that the higher speed TC80 had similar efficiency to the H4065 so with this motor you can have your cake and eat it too! The high burst current it draws on full throttle acceleration and launches off the line quickly drops down to sub 3kw as the speed starts to taper off. And peak current only clipped 90A (100A limited) This is good news for li-ion packs and their BMSs.Rix said:the only motor made by Crystalyte that is more efficient than the H40XX is the 54xx and the TCXX
Rix said:Yes its the Crown, being that there hasn't been any recent changes to the H40 series, the only motor made by Crystalyte that is more efficient than the H40XX is the 54xx and the TCXX. And I am not 100% sure that the 54xx series is more efficient, but definitely not less than the H40XX series. I know it cant be a 5405 which is probably the closest equivalent in terms of stator winds to the 4065, (process of confirming with Kenny) but if HPC is getting a different more efficient motor for you, and its made by Crystalyte, its got to be the TC65.

well they got the crown too (with its different body) but they say its the same body as 4065 just more efficient...in fact,they said I could just pop it in my existing body no need to spoke up a new rim something about windings being a bit different optimized for 100+ volts not sure exactly what that means
Hyena said:Sounds like marketing talk to me.
"optimised for 100+v" basically means it's a slower wind and will still do the advertised speed (ie around 65km/hr) on 100v.
I had a similar issue ordering from crystalyte a few years back. I specified higher grade halls, bearings and phase wires noting I wanted to run them on 72v. I ordered H3540s and what I received was a motor that did 40km/hr on 72v. This equated to 1 wind slower to the HT3525 (36v rated) at the time. Fortunately I didn't end up stuck with them as I was able to sell them as 'super high intensity torque motors' for those running high voltage. (those around back then may remember my S.H.I.T acronym :lol: )
Outright power handling shouldn't be any different. There'd only be small (if any) variations in the amount of copper between the different windings and wattage is wattage. You'll just be dumping more voltage and less current into them.
