HI there, I purchased the Magic Pie on Sunday. I thought my conhismotor 1000W motor was dead, but it was not. It was 2 wires that had melted at the controller, they shorted and that was my problem. The controller protected itself. Anyway it was after I purchased the Pie did I notice the problem when I was stripping down the old kit! I was going up a very steep hill, then on regen coming down it died!
That is why I like the Magic Pie, the fact that the controller is built in. The controller output wires would be much shorter also and might not melt. It's too hard trying to keep all the controller wires tidy and out of sight!
I want to order a battery and My old Vpower seemed to take regen ok, Well I mean it slowed me down, lol. But I don't know if I was doing damage to the battery, I do know I was only getting 15 amps out of the claimed 20 amps, but that is common of Vpower from what I have learned over the last few months!
Will the Golden motor batteries take regen ok? And does anyone know if ping batteries will take regen? I hear different people say different things, I would love the golden motor 48v battery only the fact it has 12 amps, And I don't have the money for 2 gm batteries! I need 20 amps. And my other question How much regen is too much? I had my magic controller set to 50% so does that mean 50% of the controllers peak 50 amps or nominal 30 amps?
Sorry for all the questions, it's just that the regen stuff confuses me, I really don't care about charging the battery by regen, but I really need the braking power!
Thanks
