With Evolve’s new patent pending technology their main focus was battery safety. Their second main focus was power at all battery levels. This means that regardless of the state of charge, you should experience similar torque. Taking off at 100% in GTR mode should feel the same as taking off at 10% in GTR.
They needed a battery that could handle massive amounts current, provide the longest run times, have the ability to flex with the skateboard deck and be packaged into a safe and clean battery structure, introducing Evolve’s all new Power Flex Battery!
INTERNALS:
With a patent pending design, the Power Flex battery has no wires used to assemble the battery structure making it very safe and a very organised/clean setup. The battery has also been designed to flex with the skateboard deck as its ridden within a harsh environment. Accompanying the unique battery structure is a newly designed BMS (Battery Management System) with built in thermal and current overload protections. The BMS controls the performance of the battery with unique software ensuring precision and performance.
WATERPROOFING:
Each enclosure has a plastic cover that’s screwed down, and there are o-rings and gaskets around every point of ingress. It’s very clean and waterproof meaning you can ride the board through some wet terrain without having to worry about ruining your day, or your new battery!
FLEXIBILITY:
One of the major improvements Evolve claims they’ve made to their battery system is that they’ve found a way to allow the entire pack to flex an insane amount. i’m not talking about just a little bend, I’m talking about you can bend the entire pack into an almost tube shape. They also told me they’ve redesigned every single internal electrical component.
The new Evolve Powerflex packs are 10s4p Samsung 35e batteries. This means the cells are arranged in packs of four, wired in series. 35e cells are 3500mAh cells that can do 8A discharge.
