That's not good hopefully you'll get the wiring replaced soon and be back out riding!

I've just got a new 800watt board and mounted a 20AH LiFePO4 pack, and a voltage and current drain display on the front.

....loving the brushless motor, it leaves my old board miles behind !

You can ride at top speed for approx 70mins....which gives a decent range

If you ease off on the throttle, you can get up to 90mins...but after an hour I'm knackered anyway!

The downside of the long run time is the motor needs a regular rest breaks to cool it down, the constant riding can overheat it.

I'm currently waiting on an order of the brushless 800watt electroskate boards to arrive in NZ then i can try running one of those with the 20AH LiFEPO4 pack, now that should give a decent range !!!!!

Cheers

Hi, I run a 20AH LifePO4 pack on my 800watt board and mounted a WattsUp so I would know how many AH's I had used (and roughly how many remain). You're right, the discharge curve of a LiFePO4 battery is pretty much flat...they go until they stop! LOL

The only indication i get is that the voltage drops to just under 36V when it's nearly flat, i find it easier to just ride until I'm up to approx 17AH and that's about right....Cheers

Hi, I also mounted a Watts-Up on the front off my 800watt offroad board. Really useful to know how many AH's have been used from your battery (and how many remain before you're walking!) ... .Definitely recommend
