hi all got the 250watt tdz2 fitted to my Carrera subway, I used to run it at 12amps for range on the flat.
but its now set for 16amps for some hillier journeys.
I seem to recall the default amp settings was 16 (not sure on what site for tdz I saw this)
looking at my lcd manual the default seems to be 25 would setting to 25 snooker my battery bog standard Chinese battery?
pressing the I and power buttons on lcd does not seem to get me into set up mode, its a while since I adjusted anything on tdz.
anyone run tdz above 16 amps?

I'd be surprised if your battery could sustain 25 amps. I'd say, most likely, 18A would be a practical maximum for your controller. Going higher won't knacker your battery immediately, but would probably accelerate its demise, and if you go too high, the BMS will cut-off to protect the battery.
