I keep reading about people wanting an extra "boost" of speed it they need it. I'm part of this group and have an idea that I haven't seen others talk about.
I want to have the ability for extra speed when I want also, but can't afford the batteries. So, my idea is to have a little battery pack made up of cheap lipos for example 6s1P for an extra 24V 2200mAh.
Sorry for the paint, only program I have available right quick,
Simple Idea, just an inline switch that would put the 48V pack in series with the 24v pack, and a multi-meter to make sure you don't over discharge the Lipos
Positive: Simple, Cheap, and easy to do.
Drawbacks: Bulky wiring and would need a switch rated for 3600w.. could be bulky.
Another Idea, use a remote 5v source to trigger a solenoid.
Positive: Can keep everything bundled together and clean, can use smaller gauge wire for switch.
Drawbacks: A little more complicated.
Please give me feedback on this, I'd like to know if others think this is a good or bad idea and why.
The only drawbacks I can see for this setup is a momentary cut in power while it switches, probably wouldn't be too noticeable, and the need of a controller that could support 48v/72v.
