New ev noob here.
So I've been looking into the options of building a light weight buggy or motorbike to start with to get my head around all the required parts and the go & nogo's of electric conversions.
I've done heaps of engine conversions on cars and buggies in the past but ev is something I've never really looked into.
I'm considering something like the motenergy 96v dc brushless 12kw constant 30kw peak.
And was looking at something like headway 15ah lipos
30cells to create approx 98v
But then I started thinking could off the shelf 18v Power tool batteries work in this case?
I understand the overall amp/Watt out put per cell etc could be a limiting factor to power output vs a larger number of 3.2v cells
But I am not sure if the 18v cells would work in a series arrangement to get the 98v ?
Wasnt sure if it would cause them to limp mode if they were linked to output a high voltage compared to the 18v they are designed to output as a unit.
I thought if the project doesn't work out or I get over it I can still use the Bosch batteries for my power tools
Cheers the noob
