Has anyone tried replacing the normal dump batteries with two more sets of the 1.5 pack? (6 little batteries total.) If not, why not?  |
How would you wire them, in parallel or in series? If you wire them is parallel you wouldn't get any more amperage as the smaller batteries are 1/2 the amperage as the larger ones...so two small batteries in series equals one larger battery.
If you wire the smaller batteries in series you will increase the voltage to either 36v or 48v (at 1/2 the amperage). Since the controller is designed for a 24v system, you will destroy the electronics in the controller in about 100ms.
It's current we crave. The more amperage available, the longer we can run the the ESC motor - at voltage closer to 28vdc.
