, Hi everyone!
I am a happy owner of a small Bafang/8Fun motor used on my cargobike. I am currently looking into upgrading my battery(36v) and controller(13amp) and thus, in need of advice. Unfortunately, I have no information about what bafang model I have. It is however really small, and seldom get hot.
I am looking to get a little bit more juice to climb and a better performance overall. Right now, I find that I don't get "enough" power when the battery falls below about 60% under load. Of course, this battery has a couple of years on it as well. Of course, I want my next battery to last a year or two longer than the one I own right now.
1. Can I upgrade my battery/controller to either a higher voltage (48v) and/or higher amperage without damaging the motor? If only one of these can be fulfilled to protect my motor, which one would be my best bet?
2. Suppliers of batteries/controllers. I would prefer to buy a battery that can be placed as part of the rear rack and bundled with the controller, just as the one I have today. For example this one
https://bmsbattery.com/ebike-battery/952-18033-48v10ah116ah14ah-case-02-battery-pack.html#/510-inner_controller-with/512-cells_capacity-25ah_high_c_rate_10ah/532-rack-with
The controller that comes with this battery is rated for 18A, and that together with 48v is even more power than I need.
They are unfortunately out of stock. Any hints to other suppliers are welcome!
3. Of course, I prefer not to re-wire everything, and thus prefer HiGo connections as these are the ones I have today.
Thanks!
