12S3P Battery Pack 43.2v 12600mAh 12.6Ah

Introducing the TORQUEBOARDS 12S3P Battery Pack, a step up from the 12S2P, offering increased capacity and extended range while remaining relatively affordable.

With its high-voltage 12S configuration, this pack provides significant advantages over 10S and 6S systems, including improved efficiency, smoother acceleration, enhanced motor responsiveness, and reduced heat generation.

The additional 1P capacity delivers more energy for longer rides without sacrificing the compact form factor that makes it versatile for various setups.

Perfect for riders seeking the benefits of higher voltage and greater range, the 12S3P strikes the ideal balance between performance, range, and value.

Engineered for Maximum Power

This battery pack is designed to deliver up to 135 amps, providing exceptional power for your electric skateboard or vehicle. The Modular Bypass BMS system ensures uncompromised performance, meeting even the most demanding power requirements.

21700 Molicel P42A Battery Cell Discharge Rating

The 21700 Molicel P42A battery cell is rated for a maximum continuous discharge of 45A per cell in parallel, but the duration it can sustain this current depends on various factors, including:

• Parallel Configuration: The total discharge capacity increases with more cells in parallel.
• Voltage Drop: High current draws cause voltage to drop, impacting performance.
• Heat Management: Effective cooling is required to prevent overheating during high discharge rates.
• Cutoff Voltage: Discharge ends when the voltage reaches a predefined safe limit.

In real-world scenarios, pulling the full rated amperage continuously is unlikely, as it would quickly drain the battery and generate excessive heat.

Realistic Average Amperage During Riding

• Light Riding (Flat Terrain, Moderate Speed) - Ideal for cruising on flat surfaces at low to moderate speeds. 10–20A
• Aggressive Riding (Hills, High Speed, Acceleration) - High-current demands during acceleration, hill climbing, or high-speed rides. 30–60A
• Peak Amperage (Full Throttle, High Loads) - Short-term loads during full-throttle acceleration or heavy loads. Sustaining this level for extended periods can lead to overheating and rapid battery depletion. 70–100A or more, depending on the battery pack, motor, and ESC specifications.

Crafted with Quality and Precision

Built in-house in the USA using 21700 Molicel P42A cells, this pack offers high capacity and high discharge capability. The modular bypass BMS supports charging up to 10A, allowing high amp discharge during use and cell balancing for enhanced safety, longevity and performance. We recommend using a 2A or 5A charger as your standard charging solution to consistently maintain and prolong the lifespan of your battery pack.

Built and Assembled in the USA

All of our battery packs are meticulously assembled, spot-welded, and finished in-house at our facility in Dallas, TX. We take pride in producing high-quality battery packs at competitive prices, utilizing the best battery cells available. Recognizing the critical importance of battery safety, we manage the entire production process to maintain the highest standards. Additionally, we provide comprehensive safety guides and tutorials to help you better understand and safely work with your battery pack.

Modular, Plug-and-Play Design

Our battery packs are thoughtfully engineered with modularity in mind, making maintenance and repairs straightforward. If any component malfunctions, it can be easily replaced without requiring soldering. Refer to our detailed battery tutorials for step-by-step instructions.

Key Replaceable Components:

• Battery Management System (BMS): Plug-and-play for easy replacement.
• Anti-Spark Switch: Modular and simple to swap.
• Charging Port Fuse: Quickly replaceable for safety and convenience.
• Charging Port: Designed for seamless replacement.
• Battery Voltage Display: Easily replaceable to keep your pack performing at its best.

Modular Battery Cell Modules

Battery cell modules are designed to be replaceable, allowing for easy maintenance or upgrades. If a module becomes faulty or malfunctions, it can be replaced by unsoldering the two power wires and the balance wire, installing a new module, and then re-soldering the connections. While this process is intended for those with prior experience in soldering and electronics, it is manageable with the right tools and skills.

Replacement battery cell modules are available for purchase to ensure seamless repairs and maintenance. Detailed instructions and support are also provided for advanced users.

Why We Don’t Use Battery PCB Boards

We avoid using battery PCB boards because once a module is soldered to the board, removing or replacing it becomes significantly more difficult, often requiring the entire battery pack to be rebuilt. Our approach focuses on maximizing the lifespan and usability of individual components to provide greater flexibility and longevity.
