Hi all
I have two Ego batteries - both are 2.5AH “56V” (52V nominal) batteries. I understand that individually they are capable of 20A but wired together in parallel they can output 40A.
I will only ever connect them together when they are both fully charged
My motor will be a Toseven DM02, which I understand should be limited via the software to 15A or 18A, but for the purposes of wiring assume that I will limit at 20A.
For the wiring I assume 20A wiring would be fine, and I assume a 20A inline fuse would be fine.
What I am unsure about, though, is when I connect the batteries together, if there is a slight imbalance in the packs, could I potentially fry the wiring or blow the fuse? As in, would a brief surge of over 20A to equalise charge between the batteries be likely? Or even possible?
Also, I am planning on using the “S” models of anti-spark XT60S or XT90S. Are these overkill?
