motor controller cut off voltage

Each motor controller has min cut off voltage and max working voltage.

For example:
48v Controller’s cut off at 40v. Less than 40v, not work.
36v Controller’s cut off at 30v. Less than 30v, not work.

For 48v electric bike motor kit system.We recommend reach set cut off voltage to over 42v by LCD. Less than 42v,should charge battery. It’s good for battery.

These days,all kinds of lithium batteries was made by 13 series connection or 14 series connection cells to be 48v, 52v.

Each cell – min about 2.8v , max about 4.2v
13 series – 4.2v x 13 = 54.6v
14 series – 4.2v x 14 = 58.8v

Overdischarge and overcharge both Not good for battery.
For example: if set it to 40v (controller’s cut off voltage is 40v)

2.8 x 14 = 39.2v (about 40v)

If 14 series connection cells ‘s min voltage to be 2.8v at the same time. That’s good.

But ride half a year, cut off voltage still 40v.
If No. one cell ‘s min voltage is 2.7v, second is 2.9v, third cell is 2.9v….
Total voltage is 40.4v ( 2.9 x 13 + 2.7v)

If first cell’s voltage to be 2.7v, it’s overdischarge, battery can’t to be charged. Battery is broken.
So we recommend charge battery when it reach about 42v or over.

If min 42v
No. one cell ‘s min voltage is 2.9v, second is 3.0v, third cell is 3.0v….
Total voltage is 41.9 v ( 3.0 x 13 + 2.9v)

New battery doesn’t have this issue. If ride 1-2 month, we recommend charge battery @ 42v or over.

For example: cell phone, only leave 20%,need to charge. If use out all that will break cells, also very hard to charge.

So we recommend set cut off voltage by LCD that over controller’s cut off voltage.

Sponsorship Hub Motor Controller Opportunity for University Car Team

My name is philip young and I am reaching out as a representative of Eco Illinois SAE, a student organization at the University. As an organization under the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) umbrella, we design and build a car to compete in the Shell Eco-Marathon and SAE Supermileage competitions each year. We attempt to push the boundaries of fuel efficiency and have achieved a school record of 1,137 mpg on gasoline at SAE Supermileage 2016.

Eco Illini SAE is comprised of students from a wide variety of backgrounds. From engineering to business students, the team focuses on providing environmentally conscious transportation solutions. To reach greater heights, the team is seeking to build a new car. The new car will incorporate lessons learned from past cars and be better suited to take advantage of new technologies. We pursue an aggressive vision for the future where the social cost of personal mobility is minimized. To further incorporate sustainable principles in society, we also participate in community outreach events and donate our old cars to other teams in order to encourage interest in sustainable engineering.

However, an undertaking of this size requires a lot of parts, funds, and time. One of our biggest roadblocks so far has been lacking the necessary resources to test and redesign the car for maximum efficiency. We are reaching out to Leaf Bike because of your specialization in electric bike motor and motor controller. Any help at all would be very much appreciated, and we would love to set up a sponsorship partnership with you. Attached to this email is an outline of everything a sponsorship would entail per each level.

Last year’s Shell Eco Marathon competition in Sonoma, California saw 100 teams with over 1,000 participants from high schools and universities across North and South America. It is part of Make the Future California – a four-day public festival of ideas and innovation. Each year our car is featured at the McHenry County College Green Living Expo, Engineering Open House, and various other University related events, with the car being viewed by hundreds to thousands of people. Not only are these events a great way to showcase the progress the car has been making throughout the year, they are also a fantastic opportunity for the team to give back to our sponsors. We also recognize our sponsors in public posts and are looking to start a video series featuring our technical innovations as well as shout outs to our sponsors.

The Displayer Operating Manual for LCD motor controller

LCD bldc motor controller for e-bike

There are two types of hub motor wheels are used for e-bikes. One type is hub bldc motor , the other is brushed hub motor. Because the brushed motor had some disadvantage of high noise, shorter-use life, low efficiency..

These days hub bldc motor wheels are used for electric bikes widely and had replaced brushed hub motor.

So more and more motor controller are showed in market. For example: cruise brushless controller , regen brushless controller, programmable brushless controller, lcd bldc motor controller…

Convert a bike to an e-bike, we should choose a hub bldc motor wheel with brushless controller and throttle, brake lever,on/off switches,disk brake,front&rear lights,horn..etc accessories

European like 250w hub bldc motor and North America prefer 750w / 1000w bldc motor. How to purchase a good brushless controller to drive this bldc motor .

Generally 250w bldc motor need to be driven by 6-MOSFET brushless controller, and a 9-MOSFET motor controller dirves a 750w bldc motor,a 12-MOSFET brushless controller dirves a 1000w bldc motor.

Now nearly all types of brushless controller for e-bikes have cruise, alert, reverse, limited speed..etc. function.

If you buy 1 set 48V DIY kit, you had better to choose 48V 12-MOSFET/15-MOSFET brushless controller. Please don’t order 9-MOSFET motor controller to drive your 1000W brushless controller, it’s the heart of e-bike. 1000W bldc motor will bring larger current and high temperature, 9-MOSFET can’t afford.

For the bulk .of motor controller, larger, better. Larger bulk has better cool system.

In past, there was a guy sold regen motor controller, but nearly all sold regen controllers were broken in 30 days. Because when you brake, this regen controller will bring twice current to stop your e-bike, thus larger current would break MOSFET directly.

Now programmable controller is still showed in market. This brushless controller seem has nice face, but its head is small, can’t stuff more MOSFET. Use this brushless controller to drive 750w / 1000w bike system and break this nice face controller is normal. Don’t be arrest by programmable. You will find nothing for actual use when you use.

We have LCD cruise controller, more MOSFET, don’t worry your motor controller will be broken.
