Default Re: Turn Off Brake Regen Completely?

The Regenerative events don't last long enough to create an overcharge issue, a 60 amp battery Regen event for 1 minute would add less than 1Ah to the pack and the cart would have stopped after less than 20 sec at the regen current anyway.

If your BMS is properly setup the 'maximum charge voltage' for the pack is less than the 'Max cell voltage' setting multiplied by the number of cells you have in series.

Make sure you change the Alltrax setting for 'Over Voltage' to be slight less than your 'Max cell voltage' x 'number of cells'.

The Alltrax Controller will dynamic adjust the Regen brake force to stay below the 'Max Regen Battery Amps' and the 'Over Voltage' setting.

You can also play with the 'Maximum Regen Armature Amps', If you set that value higher than 'Max Regen Battery Amps', the braking effect increase will only be noticeable under low speed.

I love my Regen brake and would not have a cart without it.
