10s1p vs 12s1p Comparison

So for 12s, 20*44.4 = 888 wh?

and for the 10s, 10*36 =720 ?

Any idea how many miles that translates to roughly?

The general consensus is (for street not mountainboard) is 10Wh=1km. So 88km/54mi and 72km/44mi. hard acceleration, hills, and weight of rider major impact.

Another great way to kill your DRV is on the bench - so don’t full throttle and brake hard. boom dead DRV, then you grab another VESC to re-test because we all like to confirm we’re idiots and kill a second DRV… :facepalm:

I think this is more of an issue on FOC. I went crazy full acceleration and braking on the bench to diagnose a separate issue and haven’t had any issues on BLDC. I am using a rock solid Ollin VESC 4.12 though. I’ve only heard some stories on how full throttle FOC on bench has burned DRVs

This was BLDC before @chaka let us know ERPM limit of 60k was the issue. I was bench testing 200kv/190kv on 12s. Just hammering hard accel/brake - not good. Likely older hardware too like 4.8 iirc.

just cautionary - gentle on the bench is a good idea.

@sl33py Yeah that would be very unfortunate haha I

I’m gonna be using a torque boards VESC 4.12
