Greetings!
I was hoping to get some feedback as I have seen a few people build them on this site. I am planning out how to build my battery pack using the a123 battery cells. I am not sure how many cells I should use in my pack. I have seen a couple builds using 6 and a couple using 8. I found this link on the web:
http://www.scriptasylum.com/rc_speed/lipo.html
The guy has a sort of calculator that tells you what the output is using different number of cells. By his calculations if I use 6 cells in my pack it would result in a pack rated for 22.2v @ 3000mAh with a max discharge rate of 60 amps. I don't want to put out too much and I also don't want to over charge the battery during normal use on the bikes charging system.
Can anyone offer any advise here? Thanks!
