Default Re: BMW lithium batteries??

The Leaf lithium cells have considerably more discharge than 130 amps, not sure where you got that value.

The "continuous" discharge is not a big deal as even upgraded carts use less than 150 amps during cruise speed.

The important number is the peak discharge and duration time as even stock motors can use upwards of 300 amps for several seconds during acceleration.

Most of the issues experience by folks with integrated packs is related to the BMS inability to sustain peak discharge current.

Having a good programable Controller like Alltrax that allows you to set Motor and Battery current independently help mitigate some of the issue with those packs.
