bro i cant hear you when the music is so loud...

[@user619tlsdca5]

The difference is acceleration off throttle and more pedal power besides longer range. I took out my stock 48v 12ah on my 500WATT GEAR MOTOR and used a 52v 20ah. Now, as long as the stock controller is fixed at minimal settings of not exceeding top speeds as with mine set at 21mph. My controller will not exceed the input of juice from battery and limit power from the battery based on the controller. You do not want to Excell a gear motor pass 28 mph, the gears will wear out very fast and ruin the gear motor in a short amount of time.

[@slimdunkin117]

There’s marginal difference provided the controller is the same..a 48v is 54v fully charged..and a 52v is 58v..the difference is marginal. If picking between 48 or 52 go whichever is cheaper

[@mrferreira5751]

Would be amazing if you could do a range test for both batteries?? Then we could see the difference in range and price ( to calculate its worth). Thanks

[@tomtompkins6779]

As stated with all parameters equal the top speed means more powerful battery. Of course, if you slow down to the speed of the less powerful battery in this case, 30 mph that would give you greater range, so you should still be able to figure out the price versus the range by doing the math

[@djHELIARC]

good explanation that with 52 volts you go faster than with 48 volts. Roger that

[@bjrnclausen978]

I liked the video until 6 minutes where the music was so loud that i could not hear what you were saying???

[@JR-to8sn]

I notice a lot of 52v bikes come with a 25amp controller, does it make sense to upgrade the controller to a 35 or 40A one to get more efficiency and ultimately top speed?

[@racingfortheson]

You should do a 0-20 time test with both batteries and throttle only.

[@CaliforniaBushman]

I've really gotten into the electronic age of Ecars and Ebikes. So much so, I got a Physics textbook from the library and memorized ohm's law (AxR = V) and A×V = W. And learned how to mathematically derive any of the terms by solving the formula for any variable in a circuit. Where can I get a job building Lithium battery packs for Ebikes or ECars? Should I build a few 18650 packs myself first of different S/P configurations and order the BMS & components. Making a nice Bluetooth BMS Smart Battery is my 2023 project. For an Ebike. Then maybe a 12 Volt 80 amp hr one for my car (live on SoCal coast where it hasn't dropped below 36°F in over a decade). I'd like to install a heater pack on it anyway, just in case I do LifePO4 for a vehicle engine compartment starter battery. Should I get a bread board from the electronics shop like a German kid and mess with completing circuits?

[@davel2119]

Have you heard about connecting batteries via magnets?

[@yurislave]

Is it true that 52 Volt is better in cold climates? I live in the northern Europe where in the winter time it can get -20 Celsius sometimes.

[@ReVolt_e-Vlogs]

I got a 750w(1400wpeak)-48v/20ah battery Raev GT, & it'll do 28mph, but I just got a Raev GTX, that's bigger, so heavier, but got a 1kw(1400 peak)- 52v/28ah battery, but will do 35-38 on a flat plane, & the acceleration difference is nuts! 😆 I got the GTX I think for $2,199 with Code SLOVE, or REVOLT, 1 wasn't active anymore, but they're great bikes, but the Raev GTX is the 1! 👍

Hmm... My Kepler might get upgraded to 72 volts now😁

[@huskylord123]

Thank you for this.

[@MichaelFurlong]

Thanks, very informative indeed but what if I put a 52 v 20 ah in replace of a 48v 17 ah battery ? Would it be more powerful? Or could it cause damage?

[@Frombie_01]

If your motor is a 48V motor, then no it won't.

[@iesaali3744]

May be a bit late but the ah is the capacity meaning it's how long it last

[@Trinitronlicker]

Check the rating on your controller and motor

[@MikeHudson-px2gc]

What is the max amp charger that can be used for a 48V and 52V battery?

[@prophetnozza4150]

5

[@chrisE815]

Depends on the bms (i think). I don't think charging over 4 or 5 amps is advisable on most systems and usually the charger over 3 amps will have a cooling fan, which is a possible point of failure and fire.

Hi hello sir, may I allow to ask a question and please help reply with your expertise on ebike battery. Yesterday when I was paddle my ebike at home with the parking stand mount on the floor, for testing the ebike speed, then suddenly my mother was talking to me, instead of I need to press the hand brake to stop the spining ebike, I turned off the ignition key, THEN I heard a "pop" sound (the motorhub was still in high speed spinning) I don't know the "pop" sound was came from the battery or came from the controller. Sir, may I ask in most of the cases, let say, if a person paddle the ebike halfway through, when the battery still on going supplying the energy into the controller, and the controller still on going supplying the power into the motorhub, and the motorhub still drawing power spinning at fast speed, then he turn off the ignition key OUT OF SUDDEN to cut off the ON GOING power supply intake from the battery, in this case what will happen to my battery? Sir, please help me, then I unpluged the ebike power plug from the battery, then I turn on the key ignition to purposely release the electric in the controller, then I plug the ebike power plug into the battery and heard a as usual spark sound. My concern now is, how do I know I already wound, injury, or damage my battery or not sir. Hope you understand my question, trillion thanks if you would please reply sir.

[@miloraddimich]

Can you use 48v instead of 36v

[@djkenny1202]

I have a new 1000watt kit, came with the 52v battery in a rear rack. Unfortunately the battery set up will not work on my long tail. I bought the kit a guy bought 3 months ago still in box for $750. I’m thinking I should sell my battery and rack set up, and buy a battery that will go on my bottle cage area. What “shark”(?) or other battery should I order? From best place and quality price wise?

[@deanbadhamswilliams2047]

Love you video have a qs5000watt hub motor with a 90a controller and a 72v40ah battery how do I pull max power out of my motor is it down to the controller? Would I be better off with a 150a controller. Thank you

[@GraydonPatterson]

I was wondering about going the other way, using a 36v low Ah battery to save weight, and with normal human power input of 150 to 200W biking on a road bike, how would it do for speed and range, I'm not looking to travel at unrealistic road bike speeds (i.e. over 35 kmh), but would like a range of 120 km or more.

[@84bmw325e]

[@lockHughes-j7k]

Hi GM... update me please.. back in 2000 Canada Federal Law created the "power-assist bicycle" .. setting a max. legal motor speed as 32kmh.. roughly equivalent to USA Fed. Consumer Protection law of 20mph max. on roads anywhere... Any updates? cheers

[@kimhyunwoo8983]

@@BeforeThisNovember well he could be lying but honestly I’m very surprised with what you can do with BAFANG motors, often those things are sold rated at 750w but are actually able to pull like 1500-2000w so that plus the overall efficiency means it’s possible to get really fast speeds out of them, for example NPL adventures rides a 750 BAFANG hub motor bike that he put a Frankenrunner from grin and a 72v battery and I think he pulls like 42mph

People are so dumb thinking that more voltage needs to mean more power, but noo it can make your system more efficiant, lower kv (not kw) and higher voltage is the way to go. Racing car batterys are 200+ voltage and about 5ah

[@3dkiller]

48 sucks.. you can feel the power difference, especially when your 48 battery is at low.

[@tziebe]

Its not true that you damage your battery at 50% or lower Thats with lead accid lithium ncm you can safely discharge to 3v thats probably 10 to 15% I just wanted to correct that Thanks for the video i wondered how mich of a different it is from 48v to 52v

[@frankypolglish]

Can I put a 52v battery on a 1000w motor?

[@mtbhillbilly]

What voltage does your controller support its also wise to check what voltage the caps can handle inside stay a lil under that voltage rating also a fully charged 36/48/52 volt battery isn’t actually 36/48/52 volts so check what the full charge voltage stands at

[@ronpagala7496]

You can even use 60V.

[@teefus1]

@ronpagala7496 no you cant with stock controller the max it can handel is 60v, 52v charged is 58.8v so 52v max

[@joel-em3et]

@@teefus1 that does not make any sense. 58.8 volts is less than 60 volt capacitors in controller. The Caps should be overrated, so well within parameters. I don't understand your comment 59 is less than 60 the last time I checked.
