Default Re: 105 AH vs 160 AH

Typical continuous draw at 72V is just under 120-200A
(But that is cruising down the street at 35-40mph )
After experimenting with draw limits, I have actually set my limit at 200A and have no trouble maintaining 40mph on the flat and only dropping to 37 or so on the steeper hills.
You may not intend to drive that fast, but since you are only at 48V I would say that you would need AT LEAST 200A continuous available....

As a comparison to Roypow, which batteries are you running and what are their amperage ratings?

I don't believe that the Roypow performance packs are available yet, but the S51105P and the S51160P Roypow packs are rated at 105 amps and 160 amps continuous discharge respectively. Both P packs have a 315 amp maximum discharge rate for 30 seconds.

Not only do you want to concern yourself with the amp-hour rating, but you also need to consider the discharge ratings of the battery offerings. I believe that your Navitas controller is rated for 440 amps ... I don't believe that you will want your battery pack to be the weak link in your system.

Do you know what your present amperage draws are for your various driving situations?

I suspect that your only choice (amperage wise) may be to wait until the S51160P pack becomes available.

See Roypow technical specs at the bottom of this page: https://www.roypowusa.com/?page_id=26237#bit_bzgti
Make a lot of sense. Thanks so much for the insight.
