I bought a 48-72V 60A 3000W generic chinese controller second-hand. Bad buy because I've decided against using dual 36V batteries in series shortly after, but it was very cheap. Now I'm wondering if I can adapt it for a future project since I've another 36V battery left over.
Does anyone know why the more powerful chinese controllers only get build for 48V and upwards? Is it because of the operating range of the more powerful MOSFETs? I've only been able to find 36V 500W controllers with 11A continuous output. At least the one I got years ago is 15A...
Could someone point me in the right direction please? My knowledge of electronics is limited and spotty. I've seen people swap MOSFETs to up the voltage capability of the controller, I assume it would work the other way round as well. If the MOSFETs are the even the right components to swap. And what about the battery cut-off voltage?
