I am planning to modify my Uv 26 with the post 2007 motor using lithium ion cells and cutting down the hull so as to reduce the weight by 30ish pounds. With the 2 battery packs I will build, I will be able to remove about 9'' to 10'' of hull effectively reducing weight of scooter. If i can remove 10'' it will reduce buoyancy by 31.8 pounds so scooter will be 62 pounds.If i can only remove 9'' then will be 65 pounds. That is enough weight removed to make me feel young again.
I would need some advice on the battery pack which I will be building myself.
Battery: Sanyo 18650, 3500mah 10amp continous discharge @ 3.6 Volts nominal in 8s12p configuration = 28.8 volts,42Ah, but a full charge at 4.2volts per cell will give me 33.6 volts.
My Question particularly for @TBone and @superlyte27,since you both are very well knowledgeable in battery and dpv motors and anyone else that has experience with these motors.
Can the post 2007 Uv 26 take a voltage of 33.6 volts or will this be to much and fry the board and motor.
I have options of reducing the voltage charge to a max 29.4 volts which will be good for increased cycles on battery and occasionally fully charge to 4.2 volts for battery cycle health and drain back down to 29.4 before use.
The battery packs will be 2 packs of 8s6p connected in parallel.
