larsb said:There are a few. What spec and price range do you want? If it’s <1000usd then apt96600 is speced to take 30S but i’ve read it derates max current to 150A at higher voltages.
Oh i didnt know that there was a facebook page haha thanks.larsb said:Read it on ES facebook. Guy seemed to know what he was speaking about.
If you’re below 1000usd then i don’t know many other options. The powervelocity VESC clone here on ES seems like it won’t ever be ready.
Google ”120V brushless controller” and you get a ton of chinese controllers if you’re willing to gamble. Couldn’t find any that were power >10kW

120Vx150A isn’t too shabby really even though it’s derated from original 250A
larsb said:600A is phase current. I can’t set more than 250A battery current on my controller but i think this is a block in the firmware in QS delivered 96600, that’s not the true limit. i’ve seen them advertised on alibaba with 420A peak/200A continuous dc current.

larsb said:Pressure is chinglish for voltage. I guess google translate translates their word like this.
In this chart i guess it means max absolute useable voltage. 127/4.2 would be full charged 30S lipo battery.
larsb said:It’s likely because 100V is a nominal and preferred voltage, 127V an absolute max and if your controller breaks at this voltage then it could be due to a voltage peak that is outside of the component rating, so not necessarily a true controller fault.
The closer the voltage is to the absolute max, less headroom available for any voltage peaks that occur.
larsb said:I’d guess 150V
3V is far too little margin
Let me know how you get on as I was just about to ask the same question. info I have to date:ebike11 said:Looking for a high voltage controller..most are 72V and 96V
Was looking at the yuyang king 120v but seems to be sold out on a few sites.
Dont see too many around that can handle over 30s.
Let me know what you got..thanks!

- PowerVel/ocity: 150V 150A battery/300A Phase - were my first choice but were unable to sell me a 15 Kw unit to the UK. Very frustrating to deal with though polite and apparently trying to help, Maybe just busy, mixed feedback on build quality https://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=111580
- The Kelly https://www.kellycontrollers.eu/kdz12401 KDZ12401 is 18 to 136V, 160 A continuous and up to 400A in short bursts
- I'm still looking into Sabvon / BorgWarner who make a 120V nominal150V max 300A peak 120A cont Gen4 Size 4 which looks possible. They are a large OEM supplier so I'd expect quality and the 150V would give me confidence at 30S
- The APT96600 is 5.9 Kg which is a bit on the big and heavy side for me but looks better for price but lower voltage (more important) and higher current output (less important for me)
- Lyen Controllers might be an option http://lyen.com though it points back to an ES page which hasn't been updated in a while https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=19719 need to see what's changed in a couple of years as i haven't seen much on them recently
- AliExpress had the YKZ120150 60-120V 150/450A still available at https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002095335029.html manual, support etc looks , um, less refined (more typical ali express shall we say)
- 120V 100A no name but with bluetooth - no idea just how bad it is https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001051472078.html
- I found a build it yourself 150V thread https://vesc-project.com/node/655?page=1#comment-7513
There are various apparently non programmable or undocumented progammability 120V controllers on Alibaba which I've ignored eg:
- Nucular have plans to bring out a 150/160V version which should be great, but they only plan to start development at the end of this year. If available this would have been my first choice
- 120V 250A - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32607714367.html

Hope some of it helps - any feedback from anyone would be good
The Sevcon looks good though more expensive, there are some write ups here and the setup looks complicated
£545 ($770) plus £270 ($380) for a CAN bus dongle that they say is essential
