Hey there,

I am riding a TS with one battery pack 60V 26AH and I think it could need enhancement. 

On the super soco website and from what I’ve read online it seems like they are using 18650 batteries. On the website it seems like there are 40 batteries on one level. My guess is they are using a total of 120 batteries of 2200 mAh each.

Now my idea is to replace those batteries with higher capacity versions like 3500 mAh.

Has anyone opened the original battery casing? Can anyone confirm the amount of batteries and their capacities?

Do you guys think the BMS will recognize higher capacity modules?

Thanks in advance!

Can’t wsit to get your answers.

both 26Ah and 30Ah battery packs have 17*9 =153 cells. There seem to be 170 voids available, but the Super Soc BMS can handle only 9 parallel chains. The "30" Ah pack has cells from LG, type MH1, with a rated capacity of 3200 mAh and guaranteed capacity of 3100 mAh. The rated capacity of the "30" Ah pack is therefore 9*3.2 = 28.8 Ah (27.9 Ah guaranteed). Not only the capacity counts, it is also important that the pack can deliver 40A (TC) or 35A (TS).

Thank you for your insights. I guess the best way to increase capacity would be to use the voids and use 3500 mAh. But since a 10th chain isn’t recognized by the BMS we can only go with larger batteries keeping the amount the same. 

Guaranteed 3350 mAh equals 30.15 Ah which isn’t enough of a gain to justify the costs. To my 26 Ah battery this only an increase of approximately 15%.

How sad.
