Having decided on using Lipo packs from like the Turgny packs from Hobby King, I have begun to wonder about configuration.
I DO NOT intend to buy 12 packs...but for the purposes of this question I can describe what I am asking better if we use the number 12
So imagine 12 packs of 10s @ 5Ah. So 37volt per pack. max available power available to 100% discharge would be 37v x 5 Ah = 0.185kWh 12 packs = 2.2kWh
So these packs could be put together in many different configs
All series. so 5Ah and 444 volts
2p6s 10Ah 222 volts
3p4s 15Ah and 148 volts
4p3s 20Ah 111 volts
6p2s 30Ah and 74 volts
12 parallel 60Ah and 37 volts
OK, so the higher voltages of the first two (three?) count them out
Also assume for each pack config, the bike is ridden to the same, speed along the same route. So for the higher voltage packs, keeping the speed down to the
If you are to drive the same route everyday...assuming nil wind and traffic problems..each journey should require the same power requirement in kWh...correct ?
So assuming all of the above... Batteries hold the same power capacity what ever config..and route requires the same power requirement, and assuming you ride to the same speed and style with all configs.....
Which is the best pack configuration to go for?
