Hi KirstinS any chance you can do me a diagram how it should be wired mygrumpy001You've wired 2 x 11.1v packs in series to get 22.v (twice)
But instead of placing the 2 x 22.2v into series to get 44.4v you have paralleled them (so increased aH but not voltage)
If you are struggling with these diagrams then I am worried that the balancing and care needed for Lipo batteries will also be hard for you.KirstinS, let me save you the trouble:
Here are the diagrams I posted last time you asked this question:
He isnt going to get 5400 amps the likely is 5.4a *25c= 125+ amps more that the motor can take. Usually 20 amps is max and then the battery will be lucky to last 15 mins. And that is near 2kw.Ithink the diagram would be easier to follow, if it showed the positive and negative connections on the battery,there are loads of good how to connect batteries in series and parrallel articles on the web, with two batteries you can connect either in series to get double the voltage, or parallel to get double the amps,you will need four batteries to get 44v and 5400 amps.PLEASE READ THROUGH THEM VERY CAREFULLY OR YOU WILL LITERALLY GET YOUR FINGERS BURNT OR WORSE.
I think fishingpaul means 5400 mAh.He isnt going to get 5400 amps the likely is 5.4a *25c= 125+ amps more that the motor can take. Usually 20 amps is max and then the battery will be lucky to last 15 mins. And that is near 2kw.
Smoking .. It could all end up smoking !
I didn't really intend it as a wiring diagram, more a schematic to to illustrate the differences (series/parallel) and to highlight the only 3 valid combinations of 4 batteries.Ithink the diagram would be easier to follow, if it showed the positive and negative connections on the battery,there are loads of good how to connect batteries in series and parrallel articles on the web, with two batteries you can connect either in series to get double the voltage, or parallel to get double the amps,you will need four batteries to get 44v and 5400 amps.PLEASE READ THROUGH THEM VERY CAREFULLY OR YOU WILL LITERALLY GET YOUR FINGERS BURNT OR WORSE.
I know but if he needs +,- is then it is stretching the safety issueI think fishingpaul means 5400 mAh.
