Actually i’m doubting myself a bit now, i’ve never seen a scenario where the motor current max brakes is higher than the battery max discharge. I’ll wait until someone else chimes in

@rusins

unfortunately your battery pack is quite small, so you’ll be ruining your cell life with high regen, but it’s your only option. 10-12A is definitely safe, and I would even set it to 20A for emergencies, but keep the limit in mind when braking normally.

Basically, set it as high as you need to for desired braking performance.

@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.

Also, I’d love to hear @Battery_Mooch chime in on this subject. On a 1P P42A, is 20A charge a problem? It wouldn’t last more than maybe 2 or 3 seconds at the most before rapidly falling, unless you’re being pulled by a car or you weigh 800 lbs (360kg)
