Theres a few big tradeoffs for higher voltage systems. The main benefit is that you have less current for the same power, as you pointed out. Less losses and smaller (cheaper) wires. The downsides are in the architecture and safety domains. With each extra series group of cells, you need...

There will be marginally more degradation if stored at low temperatures, but I wouldnt worry too much unless its getting to -20 to -30 degrees C. However, you should never charge the bike when it is cold. Always try to warm it up to around 5 degrees C first.

The battery can choose when to connect to the HV cables using a pair of internal switches called contactors. While the bike is idle (not charging or riding) it opens the contactors to separate the battery from the rest of the HV system. So while the bike is sitting, unplugging the HV connector...

Ive been looking around for a spare shock for my MX and it seems like its actually 2012-2015 KTM rear shocks. the 2016s look like they have a crown more similar to the MXR shocks. 2012 250 SX-F 2016 250 SX-F

Sorry I can help more! But I’m interested to see if a DCCP swap solves it. The SOC should not have a significant impact on the isolation measurement so that’s odd. Makes me think that is kinda borderline passing.

I think SKDA does semi-custom and full custom kits. You can take an existing design and mix up the colors or do something totally unique. Gunna be more expensive than standard, but could be a good option. https://us.skda.com.au/alta

Oh, I misunderstood your first post. I assume you mean 8000 Mohms which is about right. 5000 for the negative terminal to chassis is also correct. The main board at the top of the pack is responsible for measuring and reporting isolation. You should be able to clear the fault with multitool...

Where did you get the isolation and voltage measurements? from multitool or did you measure it yourself? There was a manufacturing error which broke the humidity sensors on many of the bikes. if it is not broken, then there might be a bad seal on the pack and you may have some moisture in the...

The failed wire bind probably had a higher resistance connection to the cell tab, especially as it was failing. The higher resistance probably caused some local heating which would result in the discoloration you’re seeing. There may even have been a small amount of arcing when the bond finally...

I dont think a strobe light will be compatible with an Alta. Altas are very specific about how they handle low voltage loads. Every light has a dedicated output and the bike expects each light to draw a certain amount of current. If the current deviates too far from what the bike expects, the...

Thanks for all of the posts guys! Seems like more SOC granularity is the main request. Separating it into different colors is the most reasonable approach I think. I think we could use 4 different colors to distinguish different regions. (off-green-yellow-red). Heres a proposal of the...

Hey Everyone, You may have seen some discussion about a display replacement being developed. I am the dude working on that. I want to give a little bit of background on the project and get some feedback for the final version of the board. First off, this project is a display deleter. As you...

1) All of the lights run on 12V, but not all 12V lights will work. The bike looks for a certain amount of current when it first turns on, and if it doesnt match what it expects to see, then it cuts all power to that light until you do a key cycle. 2) Yes! You can change maps whenever you like...
