Hi Alan,
Thanks for your reply on this. I have a question though which deviates from the example you gave:
I have a 36V system (I have 3 X 12V 12Ah SLAs with no
BMS), ordered a 36V controller and got one by default set to 24V.
What are the implications of running the controller set @ 24V on a 36V system such as mine? Would the controller potentially be damaged?
That is what I am concerned about, which is a different scenario than what you mentioned, which is a controller preset to 36V being fitted to a 24V system.
Also, when does a battery's
LVC come in to play? and in the event something happened would the outcome be different if there was or wasn't a
BMS or fuses on the batteries using SLAs vs a battery with
BMS? I have read on these forums about people frying their controller using the regen braking, but that was not using SLAs. I believe the SLAs can tolerate regen braking due to not having a
BMS.
I apologise if these questions are showing my ignorance of electrics / electronics
