    Smart Pie 4 and NMC 24V 20Ah Battery

    Thank you for the advice. I am willing to risk it and make it the best kit on the market. Golden Motor is a big company with massive resources. The kit sells well world wide and they can't all be wrong. Still I appreciate your comments.

    Smart Pie 4 and NMC 24V 20Ah Battery

    It is not common to find a BMS in RC packs simply to save weight and allow the controller to use as much of the available current. Voltage is related to the speed of the motor and the current is the torque element if I understood the fundamentals of a motor. Increasing the voltage to 36V will...

    Smart Pie 4 and NMC 24V 20Ah Battery

    I have yet to hold a motor that is light. Direct drive brushless motors are my choice. The Smart Pie 4 Vector controller can withstand 18A continuous current and safely upto 63V can be applied. The motor can be programmed for 24, 36 or 48V operation through USB with rated power of 250-400W and...

    Cadex C7400ER Battery Analyzer - DP-1KW Dual Pulse CD Welder

    I almost bought one of those but changed my mind as I wanted a more professional machine due to change of plans. Also saw some negative comments about the 788+. I do have a LabFacility L60+, 60J thermocouple welder and use it regularly so the transition to spot welding with the new welder...

    Smart Pie 4 and NMC 24V 20Ah Battery

    I don't disbelieve you and I am aware of all the points you raise. You make valid points and I respect that. But in this industry nothing is for certain for too long and I am putting my faith in to NMC given all its imperfections. We will see what Tesla will decide on as I understand it, there...

    Smart Pie 4 and NMC 24V 20Ah Battery

    Here is a news clip from a news site: "To make ion batteries a little safer, manufacturers have replaced the lithium cobalt oxide with either lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganese oxide (one oxygen atom as opposed to dioxide’s two atoms), or lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide. This...

    Ultra budget lithium technology battery

    I will soon have 24, 36, 48V 10Ah Li-NMC batteries and believe the 36V will be around £250 with 2 year warranty. OptimumNano 36V 10Ah LiFePO4 will be less than £290 with 2 year warranty and a top quality 5A charger too. Or 18650 29E Samsung cells to replace your existing battery pack.

    Smart Pie 4 and NMC 24V 20Ah Battery

    I chose Golden Motor as they are a big manufacturer with lots of experience with brushless motors upto 20KW power output. The ebike hub motors have the controller built into the hub which makes the motor very quiet. Built-in cooling with a fan. Programmable motor power and battery voltage and...

    Smart Pie 4 and NMC 24V 20Ah Battery

    From what I have seen in various reports, almost all ev cars are having NMC battery packs. Since NMC has high energy density and low weight it makes sense and seems the safety is acceptable too. Time will show which battery chemistry will rule. As far as I see it, NMC is the one presently. I...

    New battery technology

    Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and ebikes but keen to get going asap. I looked at all available battery choices and NMC is really attractive. Best power to weight ratio of any battery. Hence I contacted a NMC pouch cell manufacturer and ordered a 24V 20Ah battery pack with BMS and a charger...
