Can I use a 4s battery

[LegoMyEego]

This is the info on my esc and motor I'm wondering if I can use a 4s battery on it with out faying anything ??

Watts: 900W / Max voltage: <12V
Max Amps: 75A / KV(RPM/Volt): 4300KV
Max RPM: 50000 /Diameter: 36mm
Length: 50mm / Shaft length: 15mm
Shaft diameter: 3.175mm
Plug type: 4mm golden banana plug
ESC Specifications:
Continue current: 60A
Burst current: 320A
Battery: 2S Li-Po / 4S Ni-Mh Ni-Cd
BEC output: 5.5V / 3A
Power supply plugs: T plug male
Motor plugs: 4mm banana plug female
Dimension: 50 * 35 * 34mm / 2.0 * 1.4 * 1.3in (without cables

The description lists 2S/4S for LiPo as well as NiMH and NiCD. The way that they listed it is a bit strange, but I don't think that there should be any problems. When in doubt ask the manufacturer or dealer.

Strange that it says it can handle 4s, but the specs say max voltage is <12v. A fully charged 4s battery is 16.8v.

I wasn't paying attention to that part. I guess that limits it 3s (11.1v nominal)

Wouldn't this be the specs for the motor:
Watts: 900W / Max voltage: <12V
Max Amps: 75A / KV(RPM/Volt): 4300KV
Max RPM: 50000 /Diameter: 36mm
Length: 50mm / Shaft length: 15mm
Shaft diameter: 3.175mm
Plug type: 4mm golden banana plug

And this the specs for the ESC:
ESC Specifications:
Continue current: 60A
Burst current: 320A
Battery: 2S Li-Po / 4S Ni-Mh Ni-Cd
BEC output: 5.5V / 3A
Power supply plugs: T plug male

Could they be talking 4 NiMh NiCd cells for the ESC?

 

[tntpoof]

lets see 6 volts v 8.4 v 16.8 hmm sure Chinese slop to English totally plausible. NOT

 

[Weezel]

Why not? Plausible? YES
It could also be misprinting and mean 2s Lipo / 4-6 NiMh-NiCd

@LegoMyEego Do you have a link to what you have or know what Brand?

Here's a link to a GoolRC listed the same on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/GoolRC-Upgrade-Waterproof-3500KV-Brushless/dp/B08LNN4V6Z

 

[tntpoof]

10 amps short and 8000 kv less .not same

 

[Weezel]

Listing on Amazon under Esc specs "Battery: 2S Li-Po / 4S Ni-Mh Ni-Cd". Listed the SAME as OP's.
Isn't that what is being discussed?

I don't know what the OP has. Hench, why I asked. I only said it had listed a spec the same.

 

[Weezel]

no to 4 cell ..yes to 3 cell

And if being technical with the specifications the OP listed. A 3s LiPo would be over the (less than) <12volts. And a 3s LiPo also puts the 4300kv motor over the 50,000rpm limit.
It looks like the system (motor & Esc) the OP has would be listed as a 2s LiPo limit which it is indicated as such.


To answer the OP's question of "Can I use a 4s battery?" I would say no. It looks like the combo you have is rated for a 2s Lipo.

Dont see 3 cell listed anywhere except by you.

Dont see 3 cell listed anywhere except by you.

Huh? I never did. You told OP yes to 3cell.

And I explained why I think your 3cell recommendation is wrong.

Thank you I'll try contacting them

Weezel "P.I." on the job.
I think OP forgot to include the "Motor Specs" in the cut/paste job.

The "S", in LiPo battery nomenclature practices, means "in a series"... two LiPo cells connected in a series is "2S". The "4S Ni-Mh Ni-Cd" thing is just weird, because we would (back in the day) just reference NiCd/NiMh packs as 6 cell, or 7 cell packs. A 60 amp speed control on 4S (LiPo battery) would be a no-go for me.

Yeah, the Chinese sellers on Amazon have no idea what a battery even is half the time. I love when they say it comes with a LiPo but it just has a Lion pack with it.

 

[Zerksies]

Very confusing, says 2/4s Lipp, but max volts at 12.
