So today, I decided to put the unity and chi board battery @SeanHacker sold me to the test. Im using my dickyho airless kit with a spud and gbombs.
The battery is a 10s4p 25r and I set the settings to 60amps total for the battery. It was only a 8 mile round trip ride but mile 4 is pretty much all uphill and steep!
I noticed some voltage sag going up the hill but the unity never faltered once. Once I reached the top of the hill, my battery was at 54%. When i reached the bottom, it had chargedback up to 62%.
After 8 miles of muddin, I lost my hillume tail light from the vibrations and the head light no longer works either…Unfortunately the lights just dont hold up. The helmet light is a different story.
The battery still has 42%charge left but the sag makes it limited. I think this pack could easily do 10-12 miles off-road and I weigh 215lbs! A few pics down below. Unfortunately the unity does not have my metr only Xmatic.
The fourth picture is actually Mexico
Hell yeah man, looks like a nice ride. Sucks about your light, I have mine on my mtb and it’s been working great so far so hopefully just a bad batch. Gonna bother trying another or something different?
Im in love with the tel tail lights although the led strip wires got desoldered. I dont really use the spud at night too often. Its a solid little AT tank.
To be faaaaiiiirrrr… I bought the lights from @KaramQ second hand.
Ah I got the version that needs a buck converter and there were some issues with the unity antispark being setup differently than other escs. I still haven’t gotten to try mine out yet
Edit: I should mention that Matt has been diligently working on a fix and it’s completed, pending testing and assembly.
Nice dude. I was wondering if that battery blew up or not yet.
Looks like a fun little build!
I was averaging 14-19 miles on that thing with hills and dumb shit around the city here. I only weigh 160-170lb or so tho. Looks like you’re doing good so far.
The light popped off mid ride from the rough terrain. Never found it on the way back. I think some wires may have gotten desoldered inside the light from the vibrations… just a guess.
I think the battery is a dud in mine, works while plugged in. I’m gonna try putting a new battery in it, maybe I’ll get lucky and just have to resolder the connections like you guessed might have happened to yours.
taillight still going strong. Looks fun dude!
