| it all comes down to watts.
The higher the voltage the lowwer the amps but the watts are still the same.so a 5000 mah 6s battery has the same wattage potenial as a 12s 2500mah setup ,providing the batteries are of the same c rateing.
the advantages of high voltage are, higher effenciey, and consiquently more power and longer run times because of the higher effenciey,and a side benifit is the motor and esc will run much cooler witch should equal longer life, and easier to run back to back without allowing cooling time.
as it was explained to me by the neu rep is that a motor will run on what ever voltage you give it providing you stay within your rpm limit,but will be most effeceint at the highest voltage possible withine your rpm and gearing limits.in fact he said at 44.4 volts some motors are in the high 90% range for effenciey witch i have proved to myself several times with my own testing .
for example. every 12s setup i've done useing the standard 90% ef and 3.7 loaded voltage numbers has netted me 200 to 300 more headspeed then the calculations came up with. the same calculations that are within 50rpm on 6s and 8s setups.
I asked the neu rep about this and he has seen the same thing and his conclusion as was mine is that the higher headspeed is a result of higher effenciey.some might say it's due to less voltage drop due to less amperage draw, but since i use a 2500 mah on 12s i don't think this is the case .
as for the second charger. a tp 610 is only 129.99 and a awesome charger.comes with a balancer so a pair of them is still less then the tp 1010 with it's seperate balancer to buy, and you can't do a 12s battery on it anyways.
plus when your flying your 500 trex a second charger sure speeds things up.with 4 batteries and 2 chargers you can do alot of flying. |
