How high would you suggest going? -20A Regen still isn’t strong enough brakes for me.

As high as you want to make it feel good.

@b264

Typically the high regenerative charge rates achieved by smashing the brakes at a high speed will be so ephemeral that they won’t upset the cells.

If sustained, a charge rate that high could definitely be an issue. But once you start braking hard, you immediately begin losing the momentum that would be needed to sustain such hard braking.

That being said, -20A ☓ 2 is pretty stiff.

Maybe try -30A ☓ 2?

As long as you’re not coupled to a car or locomotive you shouldn’t burn anything up under normal esk8 use. Keep in mind that number is adjusting the high speed brakes, so if it’s low speed brakes that are too weak, lower the “Motor max brake” number instead.
