      Be aware - the NIk and V-11 have the same batteries and as time goes on, the batteries de-grade and they can explode at anytime. If you store either in the home , you might think twice about that decision. I loved my Nik+ too.

    I don't think you mentioned that the spec sheet cutoff is 2.5v and EUCs won't let you ride them anywhere close to 2.5v. I think most won't let you ride them anymore around 2.8v. That means that its impossible to even discharge the cells to 0% in an EUC, so even if you tried to do cycles from 100% to 0% you wouldn't be able to, therefore the minimum 250 cycles is impossible to achieve even if you rode all out from 100% until the EUC shut off 250 times in a row.

      I think most only let you discharge to 3.2V or 3.3V... However, AFAIK the energy amount is not linear, so there wouldn't be that much energy left anyway from 3.2V to 2.5V compared to the risks.

      @JonahHax ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Exactly, so another myth busted about 'it's not a good idea to ride your wheel to 0%'. Well 0% on an EUC is not actually 0% and they are designed to be ridden to 0% on the EUC, which is when the wheel either tiltback so much you can't ride it anymore or just refuse to go.

  • @ionflow1073

    As a truck driver, I really like the 50S cells because of the broad range of operating temperatures for both charging and discharging. I copied and pasted the following excerpt directly from the EWheels website. I've never known Jason or Eric to post false information, so I'm sure this is true.
    Higher Operating Temperatures: the specifications of the 50S has a vast operating range, from -20 to 80°C/-4 to 176°F vs -20-60°C/-4-140°F with the commonly used 50E/GB cell & as high as 100°C/212°F in Samsung’s test data! This massive margin not only allows the 50S to output up to 3x more power than the 50E, but perhaps more importantly, will greatly improve battery pack safety, there is no conceivable scenario in which these limits will ever be reached, or exceeded.
    Thank you for this informative video. It really increases my confidence in my decision to wait for the 50S version of the Extreme to hit the shelves this summer.

  • @Erafune
    @Erafune 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    5:17 so the graph shows that for 99% of the time, no more than 40A output was needed, which 4 parallel 50E batteries could have provided.
    It's only for the 1% acceleration or steep hill trial that the 50S will make a difference, so its understandable manufacturer say 50S isnt needed.
    But if you love doing hard pulls on every start, then feeling the 4x25A output every time should make a difference.
    And since breaking is reverse acceleration on an EUC, the maximum breaking power should be higher, which equals safety.

    • @pavelk.3367
      @pavelk.3367 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      On thirstier high-powered wheels like the EX30, I just checked my DarknessBot trips, and my max amp draws usually range from about 70 to a bit over 100 amps. So even 6x parallel that is over what the continuous discharge is rated for the 50E cells, and I actually just ordered a 50S EX30 because I got a good deal on one (and my ex30 has over 7400 miles on it). The lower discharge on the 50E is what makes me nervous when I accelerate fast and ride below 60% battery so having 50S will give me a bit more piece of mind when I'm wanting to push myself and riding on the streets.

    • @Erafune
      @Erafune 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@pavelk.3367 I see that is certainly thirstier. And yea I guess we wouldnt even be having this discussion if voltage sag and cutoff accidents werent a thing.
      Now why dont they just do more cells in parallel ? Like 10P or 20P. Then they could use the cheaper cells.
      Cells in parallel keep the same Voltage as one cell but adds the Amp together, while cells in series keep the same Amp as one cell but adds the Voltage together.
      So is there a reason a 100V 50A battery pack works better than say a 50V 100A in an EUC ? Both would output the same 5000W.
      - Nevermind I realize now that 100 cells in a parallel and 100 cells in a series will have the same W output. Better to use the layout that is the easiest to build. The only thing that really matters for W output is the number and quality of the cells.
      HOWEVER - this also means that we need to STOP being all "ooh" and "wow" about seeing higher and higher Voltage numbers. You could have a 200V EUC with only 2000W output. The only thing worth being "wow" about is higher total W output of the battery, and W of the motor. Unfortunately spec sheets keeps showing the V of the battery and not the total W output :(
      But fortunately, with the use of 50S cells, which has a peak output of 35-45A, the overhead room becomes great. 4x20 cells at 3.7V (50% used) and 35A = 10360W output from a 1480Wh battery. Double the battery to 2960Wh and it could power a 20kW motor. If there's 50S cells in there, you dont need to worry about battery W output, and you can focus on range and motor power.
      - One thing that has been bothering me is heat. In parallel every cell is discharged by itself. But in a series of say 24 cells in a row, the cells become like one long tube of cells with their Amp flowing through the tube, and at the end of the tube the outer cell has to deal with all the Amp coming through from the 23 other cells, which on a first glance seem like it would lead to 24x more heat generated than if that cell was alone. But apparently heat doesnt work that way with Voltage and Amperage and it's not an issue.
      Electric cars like Tesla use about 100 cells in a line to reach 400V, and those cells dont explode, so yeah. Weird.

  • @Erafune
    @Erafune 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Also, the bigger the battery (Wh) the less you need 50S cells over 50E cells.
    A 1480 Wh battery of 50S cells has 1480/18.5 = 80 cells. 80 x 3.7V x 25A = 7400W output.
    A 3700 Wh battery of 50E cells has 3700/18.5 = 200 cells. 200 x 3.7V x 10A = 7400W output. (and 2.5x the range)
    Both can power a 7400W motor. So we can have high power, light weight, low range EUC, or high power, heavy weight, long range EUC.

    • @WheelGoodTime
      @WheelGoodTime  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I have no doubt that the controller plays a role in it. I have no doubt that the necessary current draw will be fairly easy to predict based on motor wattage, system voltage, and other factors. We have a lot of info from all the EUCs that are currently on the market to see what our current draw needs may be for future EUCs, such as 168v systems.

Sadly, right now those batteries are extremely expensive, prohibitively so.

    So lets say worst case scenario 250 charge cycles, and you get about 100 km per cycle, so 25000 km, then you buy new battery packs for probably about $2500, that means you pay about $1 per 10 km.
    On one hand that's super expensive almost gasoline powered car price per km. On the other hand that's reasonable considering how slow you go and how much fun time you get.
    Luckily that wont be the case and with 80% capacity after 500 charge cycles, 60% after 1000 cycles (100.000 km), then $2500 for battery packs, means $1 per 40 km, or $2.5 per charge cycle.

For example, the 50E Extreme was firmware limited to 250A current at the beginning, then they increased it to either 280a or 300a (I can't remember, but I think it's 300). But the 50S battery version is firmware-limited to 330A capability so it can discharge more power safely.

    Only Molicel P45B/P42A beat 50S except on price.

    Poor conclusions... Using the datasheets instead of a real test results leads to useless videos.
    Also no information abou class of the elements we will get in the euc from the factory.
    For exhample C-class 40t cells from the begode master, shows very poor results.

      Lol, you are aware that the lab tests are torture tests, right? By that I mean the 50s was just tested way, way beyond what would ever be used in the real world on an EUC. People are clamoring for real-world test results, but the real world test results are anecdotal rather than scientific, and don't paint a complete picture. The true torture test in the lab is what actually paints the complete picture.

      Do you really want the guy to run two lynx's for 48000 km each just to see which one has lost more of the capacity instead of relying on torture tests on the cells and extrapolate the data?
