Dancer Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I have a 820 Wh ACM and I would like to buy a 1600 Wh Monster . Can I use the cells of my ACM to upgrade the Monster to 2400 Wh even though the cells have ~300 cycles (14000 km) on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least not easy...Your packs are 67 Volt from 16S4P....What you would Need is 84 Volt from 20S3p. You would have to buy another BMS and soldier the cells new ....it is not worth the Trouble, especially not when they have 300cycles. Also i personnaly would not use 300cycle old cells together with new ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to save on the cost of the cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If money is no concern, you can ask Cris from 1radwerkstatt.de (1radwerkstatt@gmx.de). But it's probably cheaper to buy the 2400 Wh Monster than the 1600 one plus a custom battery build.

You cannot mix the batteries or i would have done it when my ACM died. IF you can stretch to a 2400wh Monster then go for it otherwise what do you want the Monster for? a 1600wh MSuper V3 would possibly get better mileage than a 1600wh Monster due to the weight. I damaged 2 of the batteries on my Monster & , with the rediculous price Gotway ask (it would be more expensive buying three batteries separate than buying the 2400wh Monster all in one), I could only replace 1 of them. Now I only get a little bit more mileage than I did on my 820wh ACM! Not worth the money. I wish I'd gone for the MSuper V3 now - especially as there are mud guards available for it. My Monster sprays at just the thought of wet/rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just build your own one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
