Hello everyone. A couple years ago I purchased a used Recumbent Trike (WizWheelz Zoomer - Pre-TerraTrike). This trike came with a BMC V3 motor in the rear 26" wheel. Attached to it is a 12 x 4110 MOSFET Extreme Modder Controller LYEN Edition and a Cycle Analyst V2.4.
With the trike came 8 Turnigy 5000mAh 5S 20C Lipo Pack in parallel & Series for a total of 36V and 20,000mah. The current setup is nominal 37 volts, fully charged to 41 volts. I was told that the Motor and controller as setup can increase to 55.5 volts nominal, 61.5 volts fully charged. Since 5S batteries are not so common I wanted to upgrade them to the following --> Multistar High Capacity 20000mAh 6S 10C Multi-Rotor Lipo Pack , but I know nothing about batteries or the setup even after all my research. I can't seem to figure out if this would work with the setup as it is. My plan would be to have 4 of the MultiStar running in Parallel & Series totalling 44.4V and 40,000mah.
My goal here is not to gain super speed (I'm happy with the current 50km/h that the trike can go: I do NOT want more speed; I want MORE distance)
Could anyone offer me any good solid advice on this please and thanks.
