Question as per the title. Thinking the answer is LTO, even though my charging voltage can only get them to between 40-75% SoC. Can't go 5s as that charges at 14, but 6s charges at like 16.8 which is way above where I'm at. What do you guys do?
The voltage range is what I observe under max load and warm (14.6) to cold idle (15.0 - 15.3), depending on the volt meter. I've got several hooked up and all they report differently ("a man with many clocks never knows what time it is"). Mechman says charging voltage should be 14.8 warm and that's probably the reality.
As an additional question, how do you guys figure required Ah? These claim a 10c rating, so do you guys figure "I need 1600A of fusing, so 6s4p @ 10c = 1600 A burst should work"? Plus maybe another bank for headroom?
