So I upgraded my controller to a 12 fet 40amp controller from Paul and also bought the matching switch, cruise control, and throttle. It's running my Mac motor that runs fine. I upgraded from 5s to 6s so I'm now at 48v with 10ah. I have two questions if someone could help me out...
1). During cruising the controller seems to surge from 200watts to as high as 8-900 for about a second then back down. Does this often and seems very rhythmic. I tried to set the cruise to get rid of the throttle and it still does it. I'm thinking it has something to do with the initial settings in the controller. I have the programming cord but haven't figured it out to view things.
2). Not very efficient, seems that just a little throttle is adding a large amount of amps. It almost feels like the "timing" is off. I'm really a Noob at this but have lerked a lot here but may be getting things mixed up. The batteries are in really good shape and balanced so why the large amp draw and pretty big voltage sag? I thought I'd get more mileage out of 4 6s batteries. My 4.5 mile ride to work with a little help from me draws 3500ma per charger.
I'm thinking they are related, any ideas? I've done 3 days of searching and couldn't find anything so apologies if it repeats, link to answers is enough, love to read up on things!
