Just wondering why it is capped to 24V and 18AH batteries.
Yes we have a dual dump pack which up the total capacity at 24V.

Rob has made 36V systems, right now the sweet spot for gains is the 24v system.

The reason for the caps is to keep the price down. If Rob was to up to 36V and higher AH batteries the whole cost of the system starts getting close to full time FI.

Rob likes the price point he is at now at approx 50% of the cheapest full time FI build before installation and tuning.
