This is only a problem if traction is lacking. So accelerating in the wet or on icy conditions sure and does not help in braking. It adds weight and awd is more* prone to under-steer.
I'm suggesting better tyres adds better traction all the time. You can't have any traction at any wheel if the tyres aren't up to it. *yeah, that's a generalization like saying all fwd always understeer. And I said in my previous post "for fun".

Let them cool down for a bit. They may have a self resetting thermal fuse. The biggest issue with lithium batteries is the BMS.

Only thing I could find on line is that they go into "sleep mode" where they are too discharged, so the bms won't allow charge. They say you can try to jump it with another battery to bring it back up into the range, but I don't have a good battery. |

A more powerful car is certainly more forgiving in higher gears, but trying to accelerate aggressively in too high a gear is going to make most cars feel "slow". |

I have to do that with my RC batteries sometimes. I set the charger to NiCad at a super low current and bring it up enough the charger will see it.

I should finish my FPV helicopter project. ~sigh~ laundry list of expensive crap to cobble just to say I did it. Maybe it's dumb. I should just take a couple hours of instruction in a real one and call it good.

Rigid warrantee is not what most think. First you must get it registered by serial number. not an easy job with the third party. then the replacement is only one time. Must be done through the third party that will only reply when they feel like it.
All of the big names might have slightly better tools but they kept changing the battery design obsoleting the old line of tools. Spent 6,000 on tools for the shop and the next year they were all obsolete. The company in a big city in Wisconsin told me too bad, just buy new or pay more for old batteries. The only company that i know of that all tools and all batteries still work together is Ryobi. It seems that they put charging smarts in the battery along with voltage control. Yes, charging a li battery will need a newer charger. their new brushless work quit well. |
