I got to say ( mark has mentioned lipo), apart from the fragility and charging problems, lipo is really great bang for buck.....a Mars bar size pack short circuited really can deliver 60 amps constant at least, .....watching them short circuit really is awe inspiring....

But its true, for real power delivery, for a real motor and controller,  you must have real battery....

Just wondering why don't you sell your used MP and buy a new external controller MP? buy the time you buy external controller and spend countless hours removing internal controller soldering wires etc...

HI
that's what I was thinking about
and I discovered that MP3 was about to come
but MP3 has also internal controller
but GM says each trouble we meet with internal controllers has been resolved with MP3 , and it's more powerfull
so do not know what I am going to do yet

all this with 48V10Ah lipo batteries
waiting for MP3 : is it going to be more powerfull ?????

Fred;

Are you actually having problems with your internal controller
or are you just worried because of what you have read here?

I am running the internal Magic and have not had any issues.

I also not modified the internal settings.  Just like overclocking
computers, you shorten the lifespan and risk burnout.

I have been careful to not overload it, but that is just what
you should do when you have an electric motor.

Hi

I had no problems with my internal controllers before I changed...they had done over 2000 miles.....

however my honest opinion is that if you take a ferrari, and put a mini engine in, you will extend dramatically the life of the ferrari....., but it is a ferrari no ?

I wouldnt worry about changing the internal software settings, no matter what you put in, the amps will only reach a safe limit as the limitation is the design of the controller

Yep Ginge is right,

I killed my controller (s)  ::) only after modding them to deliver currents they were never meant to deliver and that resulted in smoke. It was fun though!  ;D
