Longboardshort:
I have 4 lipo batteries 6s two in parallel and two in series. When connected to an amazon lipo battery meter, I should only be riding it until 60%, right? Or do the meters account for the usability of lipo batteries and I can actually be riding it down to 0%?
Without an actual voltage, it’s hard to say, but you should set your VESC cutoffs super-conservative on lipo. If you run them low and especially if you draw high currents when they are lower, they will puff.
8S lipo (33.6V charge)
cutoff start 30.16V
cutoff end 29.68V
10S lipo (42.0V charge)
cutoff start 37.70V
cutoff end 37.10V
10S li-ion; super-conservative (42.0V charge)
cutoff start 36V
cutoff end 34V
10S li-ion; conservative (42.0V charge)
cutoff start 35V
cutoff end 32V
10S li-ion; aggressive (42.0V charge)
cutoff start 32 - 33V
cutoff end 30V
10S li-ion; max-range (42.0V charge)
cutoff start 36V
cutoff end 30V
10S li-ion; range + conservative (42.0V charge) {my preferred} …
