thinking about going lipo

Nice, so those 13000mah ovonics are right up my alley?

Yep. they should be great. What vesc do you have? can it handle 12s ?

I have 2 of these, or had, one is still floating around in the atmosphere. I’m looking for others though. Preferably singles unless a great dual can be found.

i would be very interested in how you wired the balance leads :slight_smile:

Just two 5s male connectors that go into a full 10s BMS connector.

i have been running the graphene 6s 12A lipos, they kick ass! i have cycled them over 70 times and they still work well. Currently using 3x in series for 18s mountainboard build.

for charging, i use a 22v PSU that can push 15amps, that guy is connected to a q8 charger, i split my balance and XT leads and charge 1-4 in parallel

Right around the middle of the connector you can see the positive of one pack is connected to the negative of the next.

Other than the ground does it matter which order the other wires go?

What do you mean? They have to be in the specific order B0-B10. They are not like phase wires and they have to go in order.

Basically this:

I dont think vesc 4 handle 12s unless you get a unity/xenith.

What would be some good recommendations for VESC/ESC’s I can look at?

hard to beat this tbh. Its arguably the most tested esk8 esc ever produced. They should have stock soon

It’s only able to push 80 motor amps? Per side or total?
