I'll take it off your hands if that's OK Warwick, will be good to see you again, since we last met both Jodie and I have built our own eBikes, largely thanks to advice from you!

10s2p, that picture is1 of 2 cell sets in the same configuration, making a 5s2p. Two of these on top of each other will make the 10s2p configuration, probably with a link wire between the 2.

Starting building my own pack after being inspired by d8veh's lightweight build. Before I commit to this is there a better layout possible (I don't think so but don't want to have missed an obvious trick!)

Hi, what size size rim is this laced in to? Sorry may be covered in the video but I haven't had a chance to watch that yet :)

Thanks wheeliepete+d8veh, that's the advice I was after :) I know about aH vs the max output current but wasn't aware of the general rules regarding best practice and how the batteries perform in the real world. Seems like high drain would be more suitable for my situation, rather than higher...

Thanks guys, I think a 10s2p pack will be big enough for now, with the potential to add a second pack in parallel for longer trips. The controllers we have are rated for "36v – 15AH Max-7AH". So I would assume that 2 10Amp cells (or even 8Amp cells) in parallel would be adequate to max the...

So what cells + retailer would users go for now if you were ordering. Unsure between the 3500 and 3000mah cells form Samsung (nkon )

Annoyingly a quick look this morning showed only one spacer on the drive side which I think implies a 73mm BB. I will do some more checking later, I'm not so familiar with the FSA BB that is on this bike.

Those look like some expensive cell options! What supplier were you looking at?

apologies, just found this thread. makes more sense now: http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/how-to-fit-a-pas-without-disassembling-the-bb.17154/ Only worry is that the plastic spacer is there to prevent you preloading the bearings too much, any thoughts on that? Thanks again

Nice one, surprised you can put the clamping force through the plastic OK but if it works it works! I guess this just offsets the left hand crank arm out by the width of the plastic disc (If I am understanding the explanation correctly)

Going to have a go at building one of these packs for both mine and my partners ebikes. I am running an electricbikeconversions rear hub kit with the standard controller '36v – 15AH Max-7AH rated Fully Matched Intelligent Controller', she is running a panda pro kit which I think uses a similar...

Apologies to drag up an old thread. d8veh, I'm interested to see how you sorted PAS on this. I am building a similar bike up with an external bottom bracket and am trying to come up with a neat solution for nice reliable PAS. In previous builds I have drilled out and epoxied the magnet ring to...

Emailed :)

aha, i thought the MTB looked totally different (downtube mounted battery)?
