Noob question thread! 😀 ask your questions here!

What battery do you have? :thinking: 80a is a shit load. Don’t think you will need more

Five 2s 5000mah 90c wired in series.

So it’s 90c then, not 450. It increses with parallel not series.

Ooohhh, really?

5pcs 2s 5000 mah 90c = 10s 5000 mah 90c when wired in series. 90c is plenty

I was going of this…

Yes

Yes 300a not 300c

My bad, wrote it wrong. But wouldn’t that still fry the focbox?

No you are good aslong as you setup your boxes correctly. I think default setting is max 130a.

So the 225a would be over the limit right?

No you are good, vesc will take care of it. As long as your settings is correct :wink:

So, how would you find the true discharge capacity?

It’s in the post above these two. Manufacturers inflate specs to sell more stuff.

So would bypassing the bms with five 2s 5000mah 90c lipos be dangerous to the dual focbox. Thats all I want to know. Sorry if I’m being redundant

It just means you can use a nice and small BMS because it only has to handle the charger current

Never Mind :upside_down_face:
