I am wondering is this possible or am I getting a major spark and break my esc? I am discharging my pack in series and charging in parallel. Would ESC be harmed when it is connected to one end of both batteries? Of course ESC is not on because the circuit is not closed.

Thank you!:) These packs are welded together. After welding I soldered wires to a nickel strip. I think it is important to weld 18650 packs so you can avoid any kind of problems in the future

Thanks! These both batteries have their own connector. So in the end of charging cable is xt60 parallel connector like this: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__10265__XT60_Harness_for_2_Packs_in_Parallel_1pc_.html

Hello all! Greetings from Finland! I already posted this build to another forum, but here is my build: Deck....................flex 3, 38’ Trucks..................Caliber 2 50’ Wheels.................Orangatang Kegel Motor mount..........Aliendrive Gearing ratio.........14/36...

Thank you very much for that information it helped a lot. I think I'm going without BMS and make two 5s2p packs for simplicity. I'm going to make an enclosure that is not removable, so do I have to make output for both balance leads of the batteries or it possible to connect battery packs...

Hello! I am new to li-ion batteries. I have been using lipos so far. I want to build li-ion battery for my skateboard. I have room to use 20 18650 batteries and it would be 10s2p pack. I think that LG HE2 2500 mAh 20A batteries would be good to my project. Or is there a better one to go to? I...

Just received my vesc from elkick. Very good job there. Now I'm setting up the vesc and I would like to know few things. I hope you guys can help me. The low voltage settings to protect my lipos: In BLDC tool there is battery cutoff start and end. I don't want to go any lower than 3.4V per...

Thank you all for your reply. I found the issue. The trim was in wrong position. Current thoughts: I am balancing between two options: 1. making a sealed enclosure with unswappable batteries and charging batteries directly. 2. making enclosure for easy battery change. Would this work? I...

I have problem with calibrating my Xerun ESC. I have been using Traxxas TQi radio system. You need to set throttle adjustments to ESC before using it. I changed it to GT2B. Now when i'm trying to do the throttle adjustments the ESC stops with first beep. I remember I needed to calibrate the...

I have four 3s 3300mah lipo batteries. I want to make them as a one pack with power of 6s and capacity of 6600mah. Would this work? 1. Connecting two batteries in parallel making battery pack of 3s 6600mah. x2 2. Connecting these two packs together with series connector making a 6s pack Is...

Sorry my bad, I mixed those two!

Allright, thank you for your thoughts. Here is what I did: Hobbywing 150a ESC, 6S Traxxas RX & TX 13:36 gear Ratio 168kv motor This is fun, I mean really fun. It is not just transportation it is much better. I managed to travel with two 3s 5000mah lipos about 6km. I tried full speed and it...

Also I live in the city so the speed of 25mph is not going to be the main point. What you think about gearing 12:36 with 245 motor and 15:36 with 168kv?

Thank you for everyone your helpful answers. I'm thinking going with single motor and test which one is better and report to you. I have my dads 70cm long 30 year old vintage skateboard and first I try that out. If it is too short and unstable I think Loaded Vanguard might be good. And...

Yes I have already red that topic and I found it very useful. Thank you very much for the writer. However I'd like to know from people who has a 6s board is the power enough from single motor? Does it require dual motor combination to get me going without feeling that I am really pushing the...
