Archived: the OG noob question thread! 😀

@Sn4Pz
You could go xlr if you take the right one.

It has a vrms of 125
I personally just went xt90 with 10 awg cus I like going overkill

I can’t go xt90 as that’s going to be my loopkey, and barrel connectors won’t be able to handle 8a+

Not exactly sure how vrms works… I’ll keep searching

Go xt90 for loopkey and xt60 for charging? They even have a mountable version :slight_smile:

12s6p 30q pack. 4a charger in the mail. Might want another one for on the go. What is the biggest i can go in amps to charge it faster without ruining my pack?

Technically you can charge at 2 C, or 24A with that pack, but I wouldn’t go that high unless absolutely necessary. 12A would be okay

Isn’t it rated at 1.33c?

Probably? I mean it won’t instantly explode at 2c but it will definitely take a toll on cycles before it’s ‘dead’

It also depends what your BMS has for a max charge current. It’s likely less than 24A

Well it states it’s a 12s 60a bms? I have the smart bms

60A is probably the discharge rating. What’s the charge rating?

This is an old one identical to it (new one is at my battery builders house)


I’ll try to research that info

Maybe this can help you help me :slight_smile:

It’s either 15A, 20A, 30A, or 40A. Unless you have the D version.

If you have the 60A discharge one it looks like it MIGHT be 40A charge. But their spec sheet doesn’t make a lot of sense.

So basically as long as it’s not the 15a one I’m fine?

I don’t understand the question.

Typo…15a****

or BMS?

I’d say probably 10A or 12A

@b264 Good to know. If I were to change the bms, could I up that number significantly or it’s not worth it?
For example I’d like to find an 18a charger. That would make it charge in an hour

Is there a battery 101 sticky post? Also a VESC post?
