OK, I’ll go with the second one then, thanks!
Actually, @leonsc you said:
also the second has the cutoffs for lipo not li-on. Lipo can’t drain as low as li-ion
But, to me, it looks like the second one has lower cut off discharge suggesting it’s for li-ion?
That’s the problem, I’m unsure which specific settings I need
What are ur battery specs I.e mah,cell coun,c rating and single or duel motor
Two of these wired in series:
https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-battery-nano-tech-5000mah-5s-35-70c-lipo-pack-xt-90.html
10s1p battery, 5000mah, 35-70c and it’s for a single 192kv SK3 6734 motor
5ah = 1c it reads that u could charge up2 15c but that’s not advisable. Ur never going to charge really above 20a witch 4c also would be safe in ur surcamstants as there is no c charge rating specific to your battery it just gives a potential of upto 15c
All that being said I’d go for the second one also see if it has a switch built in saves on an anti spark and is just easier
Thanks @leonsc.
Sorry, but I’m still really confused. I’m a total noob! Would you mind giving me the exact model and breakdown of the specific spec I should request from Bestech?
Again, really sorry, I really appreciate everyones help with this.
Yer looks good sorry was at work
I’ve now pretty much got everything I need to get the build done.
I couldn’t help but rig up my RC controller, charge the lipos and ratchet strap everything to the board to go for my first ride.
OMG this thing is awesome! I managed roughly 300 meters before the 3D printed motor pulley gave up (PLA mock up piece, will be printing again in nylon).
I’m so happy with this setup, it’s far exceeded my expectations!
Thanks to everyone for their help. I’ll get some more photos up as I put everything together properly.
Um what someone else said before about lipos handling up to 4.28 is not exactly true. Lipos may explode if charged that high
Thanks, yeah, I had a good chat with @PXSS about this. He explained that the BMS is really the last line of defence and, realistically, there should be plenty of failsafes before it anyway.
Yeah you should be right if you charger only outputs 42v. Looking nice and I love those kegels, such a nice orange😍
Yeah, I bought this charger.
It charges to 42v and has overcorrect protection. I plan on monitoring charge levels for the first few charges for peace of mind.
Yeah, love the Kegels. I know orange and black is done to death but it does look ace. Thanks for your kind words.
North west near Manchester want more ppl in uk so we can have a meet up and ride about there’s a few London way
