In my particular build, voltage sag is kept to a minimum, but if I want to accelerate hard and full throttle for some reason, I'll see as much as a 10% drop. It doesn't trigger LVC on the controller or BMS, just wasted energy and not great for battery life. I don't like it, I'll plan my next build better.
Then what's fun for me, since I have automatic regen setup, as soon as I let go of the throttle, regen starts and voltage immediately jumps back to practically resting state. Which is neat.
The teaching is that voltage sag is "okay" as long as the battery is returning to normal voltage after the high load disengages. This is an indicator of a healthy battery that's got a lot of life left. Does having regen setup the way I do, assisting the voltage rebound, contribute to its lifespan? Not expecting a hard and fast answer, I was just curious if there are some thoughts on the subject. It really is fun for me to see voltage sag immediately disappear the second I decelerate, and I wanted to see other people's experience on it.
