Please idiot check my lipo wiring diagram

[Quinc]

Looking to ditch the SLA's and move up to lipos. If anyone has any advice or tips please let me know!

My plan is to start with 4x 6s 12ah batteries and add more AH to them as funds allow. Wire sizes may change depending on heat.

Batteries are 10/20c 240amp continues and 480amp peak. I am expecting peak to be around 250-290 and continues 50-150. Will adjust accordingly once I get the controller hooked up.

Confused by the 10/20C battery rating you use. That usually means 10C continuous and 20C burst. If that's the case then then each 6s 12ah pack is only rated for 120A continuous, and 240A burst, and the 48ah pack would be rated for 480A, 960A burst. 4awg wire is only rated for 135A, but that shouldn't be a problem as long as you stay under 150A most of the time.

I tend to agree, get some 30 c stuff for better performance, less sag under load. 10c continuous might be as low as 3c realistically, if you want the benefits of a low sag lipo pack. You might be looking at a lot of sag if you are pulling much more than 40 amps. Something rated 30 c continuous would perform similar pulling 120 amps.

That makes since, but damn everything else is so much more expensive then the multistars.
