Yamaha UMAX 2+2 freewheels going downhill.
I have a new Yamaha UMAX 2+2 for which the dealer was unable to get the normal Trojan batteries. I installed a 48-volt, 150 Amp Hour "Cyclen" Lithium battery, In theory it should have many advantages.
When going downhill, the BMS cuts out at about 19MPH and the cart freewheels. The first time this happened we reached 28MPH before getting it slowed down. Of course, once the BMS has gone open circuit you have to disconnect the power to reset it. Fully loaded, the cart goes into freewheel at 16 MPH. The Yamaha manual (page 9-26) suggests the REGEN can be set. (Modes 11 - 25) but I have no idea how to do that. Any leads? Also, would a change to the regen (or even speed) adjust the voltage/current flow to the BMS? BTW: The battery charges at 30 Amps and 53 volts so the wattage from the electric motor would not seem to be an issue. |

Re: Yamaha UMAX 2+2 freewheels going downhill.
More details: The controller is a 48M350F-EA-06. It dumps over 100 amps during regen -- above the battery specs. The highest I have read is 128 amps on regen and 260 amps on accelerate (which did not trip). Is this normal or high?
