Hi,
I don't own a Wisper and probably will not get one but I have looked at them and a quetion did arise.
The 905eeco has an 8ah battery that according the the docs does upto 15 miles unassisted and upto 25 miles assisted.
The 905se has a 14ah battery and does uptp 40 miles unassisted and upto 60 miles assisted.
So the eco has a battery that is significantly more than half the capacity yet goes significantly less than half the distance. Now I know that a larger capacity battery can withstand the same current drain more effieciently so therefore will outperform the smaller capacity battery in a non-linear fashion. Is that all there is to this or am I missing something else?
I have looked at the Alien 36v kit with a 10ah battery (think this uses the same motor but a different battery and speed controller) and does 20 to 25 miles according to the docs.
So, if that theory is correct, running a Wisper on 2 8ah batteries in parralel (this is a theoretical question by the way, I know there a real world logistical issues) would be much better than running it on one 8ah pack and then switchinbg to the other one the first one runs out. This setup would also be better that the 14ah battery? Is this correct or am I numpty?
I am considering thye Alien kit but the battery size is marginal for my needs. If I got 2 I am thinking I would significantly more than double the distance I could cover if I wired them in parallel?
Cheers, BM.
