FOCer HD60 design to come!

Will this support 13s or 14s?

The “60” in the “FOCer HD60” makes me think it’s 12S (50.4V) maximum with 60V rated components.

13s capable if you’re sexy

13S, charged to 4V per cell :wink:

There are many components besides the main filter capacitors.

That DRV8301 for example:

have u seen the unity? lmao

oh dang, then why did they even put 63v caps :woozy_face:

63V is a standard value for caps and is probably more common and better than 60V rated ones. Arguably, they should probably be 75V caps, especially as they age.

If we want caps to last we shouldn’t go anywhere near their voltage or temp ratings. But that can be said for the DRV chip too. :slightly_smiling_face:

probably, maybe im just used to seeing 60v caps on 12s esc

i don’t have any battery with more than 12s, even if they can do 13, i won’t be able to. :joy: but yes, i agree we shouldn’t push the limit

Yea, it’s common. That’s called designing to a price point, not a quality standard. :grin:
Well…not to a high standard of quality/reliability, that is.
