It’s been done before, plenty of laptops used USB PD which can push a lot of amps, as well as someone used a magsafe connector to charge before too lol

Jaykay uses type c and exway uses magsafe, both are actually unique in their own ways

Usb c is rated up to 20V@5A=100W
21s1p p42A charge 50.4@4.2A=211.68W
So charges just under 1/2 speed - the buck converter efficiency

It’s boost, not buck. Boost = up voltage down current, buck is downvoltage, same current usually

And a buck-boost is veritable

did some weird firmware thing and kept cutting out. Might have been the battery, I will try a new batt later today

Yeah, I could consider hub motors. I am doing my own build because I have a good bit of parts at home already so will be cheaper than a backfire mini or something.

I’m using this one on Karam’s recommendation and I haven’t had any issues either since installing. Smart reverse on it works fine too if you are using a UART remote

Yeah I second this advice, I had to switch to 50mm motor on the Venom Magnums because clearance was just too tight with 63mm motor

Yeah but 2x 6s1p P42A is, about 89Wh each. You could do 2 seperate 6s BMSs and charge each block at 100W as long as you seperate them, I’d look into using the loop key between the 2 blocks and have it covere the 2 USB ports

Lol yeah, that was the original plan. Just don’t want to deal with 2 bms and the enclosure isn’t gunna be easy to remove.
