Adding a Second Battery (trike mounted)

Power System
1

I’m new to the community, but really glad to be here!

I’m building a light-weight trike to go with my SP-140. It can carry more weight than I can when foot launching, so I wondered what would be involved in adding a second battery pack to increase flight time and XC range?

I’m assuming that to reduce complications both packs should be identical capacity and of a similar age/use level, right?

In addition to any wiring issues to watch out for, I’m also wondering if the control software can handle such a thing or is it likely to throw up issues too?

Cheers,

Ross.

Hi Ross, welcome!

It’s certainly possible to run a double battery trike build. I’d take a look at this trike thread:

Thanks for the link Chris!

I had taken a look around the community but must have missed that thread somehow. Appreciate you rustling it up for me!

Ross.
