Introducing the TORQUEBOARDS 6S8P Battery Pack, the largest and most powerful battery in our 6S series, designed to deliver unmatched capacity and performance.
Built in an 8P double-stacked configuration, it provides a significant boost in power and range while maintaining a compact form factor with only a 25mm increase in height compared to the 6S4P.
This makes it an ideal solution for lightweight, high-mileage electric skateboards or compact electric vehicles. Offering exceptional energy density, this pack enables outstanding long-distance riding and high-performance setups without compromising portability.
This battery pack is capable of delivering up to 180 amps, providing outstanding power for your electric skateboard or electric vehicle. Thanks to the Modular Bypass BMS, the full amp output of the pack is accessible, ensuring high performance capability.
We recommend a peak current of 160 amps for short bursts. For higher current demands, it is essential to reinforce and upgrade parallel and series connections, main power wires, and connectors to improve conductivity and manage heat effectively. Exceeding 160 amps requires the use of larger gauge wires and high-capacity connectors to safely handle the load and reduce the risk of overheating.
For safe and reliable operation, maintaining a continuous current below 80 amps is advised.
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:
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Battery dimensions are approximate and may vary by 10-15mm in length.
