config' lipos as 36 or 48?

[Tangsoo]

Got some 8Ah 5s lipos. 6 of.
So I can go 16Ah 15s or 10s 24Ah. Range need at least 18miles, 70% pretty flat.
Cycle simulator suggests 19mph @ 10s and 26@ 15s. Infineon controller, CAv3 MAC 10t.

Is 36 the general consnsus? Not too bothered about being able to go past 20mph.

It's only a question of how fast you want to travel. Any time you're travelling at full throttle less than 15mph, efficiency will be compromised with 15S. If you want to cruise at 2omph+, then you get the advantage of 15S.

15s lipo isn't 48v it's 55.5v (63v hot off the charger).

You have my kit - and the way it's programmed it will do 40mph+ on 15s lipo.

If you're using the simulator, the BMC V2 Speed motor is the same as a MAC 10t.

Just about got it set up and made looms so I can have the batteries to 10s or 15s pretty easily.
Problem is my 160mm disc brake won't clear the hub so just ordered some 203mm Avids that should sort that issue.
