Argument thread: Low specc batteries don't kill ESC's. Or do they?

[slimthelineman]

ignorance is bliss! and just to be a jerk alternators on cars do not produce alternating (ac) current. its dc, otherwise how the hell would you charge the dc battery. have to agree with linc on this, get over yourself t-bird. obviuosly the function and behaviours of electricity have eluded you. this is fine, could care less. but at the same time all slimthelineman was trying to do was put some info out there to help people why its a bad idea to use low amperage batteries with high aperage motors. i think its interesting how some people will try to rationalize anything anyway they can to prove their veiws are correct. two words to end all this water hubub, mutual induction.

all that aside why does nobody have the good stuff in their quotes? only the stuff that they feel like they can prove wrong somehow with all their infinate knowledge of electricity. its like i said, 120amp rated motor, 120amp rated esc, why the hell would you use anything less than a 120amp capable battery? it would be like using a fire hydrant that only gives 100psi and trying to use a pump truck to pull 1000psi through the hydrant.

its official slim is now a fluid dynamics expert cause i used a water analogy.

as far as not seeing freeze anymore probably just has to do with people being easier to argue with on other forums, or is lost as far as what some are saying. could be he just got bored, i know i am aproaching that point. the manufacture puts a recomendation on minimum amperage for your batteries. without knowing anything elese it would probably be best to do what they say. they know more about their product than anyone. like i said your electrical system is only as strong as its weakest componet.

so lest be nice to our dc input ac output controllers and give them what they want. i think the question at this point should have been why use crappy low amperage batteries on a super powerful brushless setup?

Not to argue, but car alternators DO produce AC. Actually, three phase AC. Then it's just rectified to DC...

Linc 'rectifies my..... oh wait, forum ettiquette

well there you go, can always stand to learn something new if you are willing. just so happens that Brian G is the one opening my eyes a little wider most of the time its funny i just finished replacing the altenator in my wifes civic cause the regulator went bad. never would have guessed it rectified the current to dc, even though its called an altenator

slimthelineman is glad there are forums with people way smartet than me and willing to share those smarts, especially them street smarts
