The current situation with my E-Bike is that water got in to the controller space in the bottom of the frame. Controller is broken and need replacement.
The E-Bike uses the Silverfish Battery formfactor, I am thinking I might want a 60V Battery with more current capacity in the future. Hence I want to buy a new Motor Controller that supports this.
The problem is I still want to be able to use my 48V Battery. According to manufacturer the max Current is 16A with this battery.
The first question, is it possible/an easy operation to upgrade the BMS in this battery to be able to handle a higher current?
Second question, what would happen if I buy a controller rated at say 30A, and use it with my battery which allegedly can't handle more than 16A? Disaster waiting to happen? Is there no mechanism that limit the current in this scenario?
What would you advice in my situation?
