Battery cooling during charging

[Erwin P]

Guestion for those more into battery tech.

During sessions on the local SM track i can feel that 80 hp on the straight isn't 80 hp anymore after some sessions. The track day is 20-30 min riding, 30-40 minutes full power charging and that for a couple of times. Around the 2nd or 3rd session you can feel going onto the straight isn't as fast anymore. It still keeps up with the ICE's, but not flying by anymore.

Does it make sense to drag a 50cm fan with me and have it blow over the battery while charging or is the effect to little to care?

Supermoto must be the most taxing use besides deep sand.
You'd need to check if it's the battery or inverter the hottest (though they may not have same thermal limitations so no guarantee that the hottest would be the limiting one?).
Anyway, yes, it can only help, that would be an interesting experiment. You could even go full MotoGP style with a leaf blower!

Arctic misting fan

Try a Arctic fan out today when changing. Battery temp went from 109 to 83. Also did not get the Thermal Limiting code today which was a plus 👍 Will check it out more next time out.
