If that’s true, it still comes down to what the battery can supply, despite high current limits in the software.
My battery can’t supply 200A, but I bang on it and don’t want to guess what it’s capable of.
It’s LiFePO4 and I’ll kick it as hard as I want to every ride. I do have Voltage cutoff settings to protect my cells.
Not without some serious cooling…
lmao-great 
My unities barely get over 35 degrees, as far as temps are concerned, I can go plenty higher.
I’ll run the backpack with the top zip slightly open next time, see how much of a difference it makes. That should give me an idea of the benefit a heatsink would bring.
I don’t know about lifepo4, but liion will put out waaaaayyyy more than they are rated for… they just get really fucking hot… sometimes to the point of exploding…
Just because your battery might not be capable, doesn’t mean it won’t try.
LiFePO4 no explodey, which is why I chose them for the backpack. Nobody wants a Lithium salt fire on their back.
Fair enough. Carry on.
While it is a slow blow fuse, Kind of playing with fire, would suck that have that fuse blown under normal operation.
BF1 is the fuse series, commonly used in Volkwagen’s.
MIDI is the fuse size
Adjust my battery Amps down to 60A is what I’m hearing? Either that, or put a bigger fuse in.
Yeah i’d drop in a bigger fuse
How much bigger, what can the AS handle reliably? I’m assuming you’re not being facetious.
@malJohann a non forum person buddy sent me this.
I didn’t respond. Those poor evolve kids. They have no idea that people are doing stranger, faster stuff than they could imagine.
Yeah, only at the speeds we’re doing, 100 miles is but a dream. The molasses of aerodynamics is our public enemy numer one.
I’d probably put a 100A fuse.
Your motors have temp sensors? Im pretty sure they are hot as hell with the currents your pulling
They don’t and they’re lukewarm to the touch.
That said I’m touching the can, not the stator.
On your last run, you almost hit the thermal throttle (starts at 80degs)
Were you able to hit thermal throttling when you had the unititty in there?
Guess its hard to compare, not the same voltage input
I pushed the Unity to over 80 degrees Celsius many times.
Just realised I haven’t done a backpack update in a while. This is what it looks like currently, with the new AS/switch, the only external wires is the lead to the skateboard.
The latching switch and metr Pro is in my shoulder strap. Zip open and switch on, then close the zip. I’ll integrate the heatsink well too, as it’ll be hidden under a flap that’s there already for the board carrier strap.
Main compartment contains the batteries and ESCs, with the front and top compartments left free for laptop, odds, ends, and a cut lunch.
Batteries are disconnected and charged as 10S2P via the XT90 connectors, so no HV risk outside of the closed AS circuit.
Eventually I’ll have a half ellipse shaped enclosure to house all the electronics at the top.
