Can a 12V battery run a 24V motor?

Either go 12 volt or add another battery and run the rated 24 volt. It wont hurt your motor. Most newer ones will not even turn over because the circuit board senses less than 22 volts (dead 24v system). Old ones will turn over but you will have half power.

Can I use a 12 volt battery on a 24 volt system?

There is no problem connecting a 12-volt and a 24-volt battery in series as long as the cells are of the same capacity; you just need to make sure the device you are powering is designed for an 36-volt DC power supply.

Can a 24V motor charge a 12V battery?

If you run a 12v motor from 24v its current drain and speed will still depend on the mechanical loading. However under no load it will now run at twice the speed at which it originally ran with 12v. Heating in the motor is still related to the current – so you can still run it at its full rated mechanical load/current.

Whats the difference between a 12V and 24V battery?

As we have already learned, 24V systems reduce the current or amps two times, then a downside of a 12V system is the amperage is double that of a 24V system at the same power. Because 12V batteries use two times the amperage at a given power draw, they are less efficient than a 24V battery due to resistive losses.

What is the advantage of 24 volt or 12 volt?

24 Volts: Advantages Using a 24 volt supply instead of a 12 volt supply greatly reduces the wiring cost to almost half the original cost. This is so because increasing the voltage of a system causes a reduction in the current through it, and in turn reduces the size of the wires you need .

Do 24V batteries last longer than 12V?

The short answer is NO. Two 12V batteries will extend the backup period, with a given inverter. With the same inverter, the 24V battery voltage would increase the heat loss necessary to reduce the voltage to the specified voltage(12V) of the inverter.

How many amps does an electric bike motor use?

Even though a motor is marked as 250 watts anyone could connect it to a 48V battery and run 20 amps through the motor to achieve 1,000 watts of power. Using a bigger motor means using a bigger battery to travel the same distance. With the battery being the most cost heavy part of an e-bike, this translates into additional savings.

Why a 250 watt motor for my bike?

With a 250 watt motor, the Faraday is able to get an acceptable 25 minutes of wide open throttle before the battery dies. 250 watt bikes means less cheating and more exercising. Many times when you have plenty of power on tap you end up being lazy and using more of that power than you really need.

Is a 250 watt bike legal in the USA?

The real problem with a 250 watt powered bike in the USA is that you are allowed to ride up to 750 watts legally in the USA…why settle for a bike that was built to adhere to European standards?

What size power plant do I need for my electric bike?

If 250 watts is enough for you, then this might be the ideal power plant for your E-bike. When it comes to computers, phones and hub motors, small and lightweight is good. As electric bike technology has improved over the years, engineers have figured out how to make a smaller and lighter hub motor.
