Hey peeps,

I have been running a 24v 32AH battery n XYD 500w motor on my e300 for the last year. I can get a 20mile or 32km return trip with batteries charge to 4.2 and end of trip 3.82v per cell. Now I have some spare space under the deck to fit a home made 18650 12v pack I have scrounge from dead Dell laptop batteries at work.

I read on an endless-sphere FB page a dude had a switch connecting a 12v straight to the motor so he could have extra acceleration when needed.

Issues and best practice?

There are times when it would be nice to get up a Hill or pass someone at a push of a buttom!

Depending if I go a 3s3p or a 3s4p I should be able to fit around 10Ah in there for the over volt function.

did you figure it out?

Nah, thought about running another controller and motor, but going brushless 48v 800w with a 30a continuous and 50a burst controller
