Hi all,

I'm looking @ this page: http://www.recumbents.com/wisil/e-be...e/tutorial.htm

I'm interested in RC batteries due to the weight and high power output.

Applications at this point are either for a 9C hub motor or if I get uppity, an actual RC drive. I figure either way, for my commute I need about 15amp/hrs @ 48v.

If I go with the 9C - I want to run it with the optional 35amp controller, which a 1 or 2c battery (ping or even elite power solutions) will have trouble providing.

I'm figuring a RC battery even at their lower ratings of 20C will have no problems delivering a constant 35amp.

So that brings me down to these questions:


1) I'm aware these Lipro batteries require proper care and feeding. However the chargers I'm finding don't go past 6S batteries. How would I properly charge the pack once several 6S batteries are combined?

2) Would hooking this up to a 9C hub motor system work, or would it just be a bad idea? If not, the weight and cost of my battery kit will go down substantially.
