My BBS02 came set to 22amps max - is it worth it / safe to put this up to 25 amps or best to leave as it is?

I can only recommend you to step down the controller to 18A. You will preserve it much longer and you will almost not reduce its performances. -

Attaching an aquarium thermometer is not a good solution. An electrical thermocouple could be more interesting. But it must be attached to the sensitive points of the engine : the power MOSFETs in the controller. Do you know what the temperature limit should not be exceeded ?
IMO the thermometer option is absolutely not practical and we lack information to correctly interpret the measurements.Last edited by CroqueMr; 11-21-2022, 06:48 AM.

All depends. 25Amps is fine if RPM's aren't too low and it's just peak transient output. It's likely too high for continuous use and that would just eat the battery anyway. At reasonable RPM, 15A is about top for continuous, 10A would likely be where I would keep it for continuous use regardless...Originally posted by djneils98 View Post
From past experience I find 10A is sufficient for most real-world continuous use, I seldom use any more continuously and I've got a BBSHD that will easily handle that... I've set the max to 30A but it's super rare I even use that for a peak transient - maybe just to zippity-doo-da across a busy street...Comment
