My end goal is to master the use of high voltage packs and make power with higher V, instead of higher A. This reduces the stress of the entire electrical system and helps to prolong battery life, since the current draws will be lower. But these BLDC motors are most unforgiving in trying to reach that goal. I want a tool that will minimize my electrical failures. I see it as a perfect tuning tool to reach no current limited AND no broken parts! I ain't made of money Doc! Thanks for the advise, hang in there with me...
A thing with power availability. . The nore there is, the more people will push those limits.
With esc now capable 12s+ 300A+ , we need support the higher end demands of this market also..ETTI 5x35v1000uf banks suits most every 6s or lower setup.
Access to higher voltages leads to higher amps and the associated expectations of more of what this sport is about -> Fun .
What i detailed initially catered more the upper end of our hobby, and although taken up by lower cell count runners, that wasnt the aim. .
Latest battery construction generically support more kwh than our 90%+ users demand...
I see 90%+ of this hobby as plug and play experts .... Lol
.
Indubitably there are refined capacitor arrays producable for independant applications ..
.
This thread started as an introduction to a generic idea supporting the high end users who had clouded thoughts over unexplained repeatable failures :grin:
From there this has grown into a long diatribe... which is good for the hobby !

Stay in touch ... :)
