Yeah our batteries are different in the sense mine has separate wires for charging and discharge. So the way I have it now, example my bike is charging at the moment and only one battery is being charged through the BMS while the other pack is being charged through the discharge wires. That’s why I’m thinking it might be safer to parallel connect the charger wire so it does go through bms on both.
But yeah I know one pack can handle 8 amps as I’ve done it about 5 to 10 times while needing to fast charge on some dirtbike tracks. That was when I just had the one single battery. But now I feel like my normal charging should be 8amps since I have two packs and and the current would be divided, but I’m not sure hopefully someone can chime in..
did you confirm this by checking the bms?
most times there is a separate charge(dc connection) and discharge port (xt60), but it's soldered on the same line going into the BMS. having separate ports usually cost more and in most cases are only added for custom DIY batteries or custom orders. but only way to know for sure is if you built it your self or you open it up.
Well when I was setting up my region several months back I talked with the seller and they confirmed that I would have no BMS protection using the region back through the discharge port. So therefore they’re not connected on the same line. When my battery is fully charged I’m just careful to not press the E break :lol:
But let’s be honest our battery is only fully charged until you full throttle for more than just a few seconds especially at 7+ kilowatts
so then yah, if the charge port is seperate, from my understanding, it's only one way in. so should be fine to connect it in parallel and charge it parallel. unless the charge port has no protection (which most do) then i would be worried.
