Popular Post UniVehje Posted July 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2022 Excellent work on the battery! The motor video received mixed reactions due to added weight, but hard to imagine negative comments on the battery. Looking very promising. Very excited to hear about suspension! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawnei Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 It all looks good but I think it will be a very heavy and not so nimble wheel, long range cruising sure but not very playful otherwise. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) To big, to much range, to heavy battery..  Jokes aside build wise battery looks amazing! My guess about having 4000+WH was right. 1 pack being ~3000WH that's right there is 6000WH battery. So now knowing battery, i'm saying it will weight 45kg. 48kg with suspension. Enjoy..

Ah yes in the video we can count 120 cells per packs so 240 total. So we can infer that it could end up being Samsung 35E, Sanyo 18650 GA cells or similar. Based on this video info, it'll have essentially the same battery capacity and power as an OG Veteran Sherman. Nothing terrible bad, but kind of disappointed with the hard to explain choice to go for 18650 cells instead of high drain 21700 cells like readily available Samsung 40T (14.2 Wh measured capacity instead of 12.6Wh). I guess they prioritized thinness of the body and shaving a few mm in width using smaller cylindrical cells. Given the torque and max speed targets, the battery sag will be significant.

onizukagto Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Euc riders main complaint: When will we get a smart bms with individual cell monitoring, three-way communication and gazillion safety features? InMotion: I hear your fam. EUC riders after the battery video: *ignores the real smart bms tech* Too heavy! Not enough batteries! *rabble rabble*  But on a serious note, smart bms looks great, if they actually show crash / battery failure test with these features working in a video format, I'll be gobsmacked at the ball-slapping confidence to the competition.

meepmeepmayer Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) The battery being waterproof and filled with some goop is nice. I think all these "protection" mechanisms are a bit overkill, but why not. 3024Wh is almost a bit disappointing, but what else could we realistically expect. And it's a decent battery size to be disappointed about if you think about it. Keeps the price reasonable (hopefully). But it doesn't have the all important "best specs" now. I wonder if that is a negative for the type of rider who buys such a wheel (Monster Pro and Abrams buyers). Well, they can always do a V13F later (4440Wh with 21700 cells instead). 4 hours ago, supercurio said: Nothing terrible bad, but kind of disappointed with the hard to explain choice to go for 18650 cells instead of high drain 21700 cells like readily available Samsung 40T (14.2 Wh measured capacity instead of 12.6Wh).I guess they prioritized thinness of the body and shaving a few mm in width using smaller cylindrical cells. It's either supply constraints, or the good old "doing something dumb for no good reason"Â I don't think a 6mm wider wheel is an argument for changing cells.

Lol  Don't be silly, it's not mutually exclusive, it's not BMS adding weight, you can make a wheel with those features without it being upwards 50kg.

Most wheels that is sold has 21700 cells now. They do have a lot more cells also which is more risk of issues. 18650 has same chemistry so in that sence there should not be an increased risk with 21700. I would say that you need to build the pack safer the bigger pack you have. I would say that EUC:s in general charges at low ampere compared to what they can handle which do not heat the cells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still calling it will weight ~45kg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanman Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, Robse said: Isn't true, that 21700 cells get hotter while charging Largely no, at least to the point where this would matter. That's just a function of current being put in each cell and cell internal resistance anyway. If you use a low IR 21700 cell like the samsung 40T, you can put a lot of current in (and out) with less heat. If you want to say (specific 21700 cell X) has more fires than (specific 18650 cell Y) you can do that, but rarely is the cell type the important factor there, and generalizing to 21700 vs 18650 when these are just sizes that don't actually give relevant information about the cell is oversimplifying things.

The video shows 120 cells in a pack, and 240 cells give you 3024Wh (actually "3200" like the og Sherman, but they either do their math differently or it's slightly lower capacity cells). Should keep the price and weight (~12kg for just the cells) down, though. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 The batteries are integrated into the side panels. Perhaps a modular design making it easy to swap out panels of different capacities to  tailor V13 to your preference. Sometimes I might want a 1500 wh capacity for riding casually, and then switch to a 6048 wh version for long-distance spirited riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whit that 126v motor - deadbeat product. Sorry not sorry. (At least they are improving the batteries, that's a plus.) Can't wait when they will improve lighter wheels with that.

Maybe cost prohibitive. I saw one seller on www.aliexpress.com already asking approximately US$2000 for the two oem battery packs for the V12. Perhaps they can update the V12 with the upgraded battery packs, along with a suspension.  11 hours ago, jimjam.nyc said: I really hope they don't run into similar issues with quality they have had on later v11s and v12s.

My EX has 2700wh with a 3500w motor. When I hammer it, it's a 30 mile wheel. If I keep it below 25mph and baby it off the line, it's a 50 mile wheel. I think the v13 will be the same. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alcatraz Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 My vote is on modular battery packs. You bring as much as you need. That way they can get it to 30-35kg for the shorter rides. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
