Hi guys
Im very grateful for all of the help Ive received on here. I have learned a lot. After experimenting with multiple motors, im now running the qs205 and sabvoton 72200. I recently bought a used 72V pack and didnt realize that the continous amps for that battery pack was only only around 30A. I found out the hard way after giving full throttle up a hill, the battery cut out and could smell burned connections. Ill open up the pack and see what I can salvage. I guess the battery was rated way too low for that set up. My question is..even if a battery is rated less power than the motor/controller needs, shouldnt the motor just make less power with less power going through the controller? The battery is the power source so why would that part of the ebike system get damaged rather than just the motor underperforming because its not getting enough power.
Hope you understand what I mean. Thanks!
