Villac Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Nice work! Your own stitching?Was in CT this morning and absolutely the cold weather was a fun dampener! I left the EUs out in the garage. One wento 50% power very fast, and the other flipped me off on a fast acceleration that it has handled many times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esaj Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The voltage of the batteries drops faster the colder it is, also the risk of a BMS-cut out (low voltage cut-out) raises with cold temperature. @vee73 worked around this with the Firewheel by using small "heating resistor wires" (not sure if that's the right term in english, basically the kind of wire with resistance that's used in electric heaters) wrapped around the batteries, apparently powered from a separate (lipo-?) pack and controlled by a separate thermostat, so he could ride in -30C during the winter (I think the heating was set to keep the batteries somewhere around +20...+25C). Without that, once it gets colder, the batteries will drop to low voltage warning within something like 10-20 minutes after taking them out (and can cut out easily during high current draw, like acceleration & climbing).

EUC Extreme Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yes. I have now Gotway 18 with a battery heating. Battery is wound around a thin resistance wire.Then there is a meter which displays the battery temperature. I can self-adjust the temperature.In addition, there is an alarm to indicate too high or low temperature.It is really convenient for System Worldwide. Can run in -35 degrees below zero without any problems. Battery temperature remains easily 20 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
