I've read on this forum that using partial throttle can cause significantly more heat in controllers, possibly causing controller failure. I'm interested in minimizing this problem on prolonged uphill climbs. Here's an example:
Lets say I'm biking up a long 20% grade hill and I want to go 15mph. Lets say that using 50% throttle gets me going 15mph. I'm guessing this would cause significant heat build up in the controller. What would be the best way to reduce controller heat? Could I:
- Program a 10mph max speed in the controller?
- Program lower current limit in controller?
- Use 3 speed switch set to 50% throttle?
- Set Cycle analyst to lower speed or current settings?
Would any of these reduce my chances of an overheated controller?
