Dear Forum Community, In light of the recent news surrounding e-bike battery safety, I believe it's crucial for us to discuss and share our collective insights and experiences regarding the batteries we use in our e-bikes. Ensuring the safety and reliability of our equipment is paramount, not...

As a matter of health and safety would it be wise for there to be a sticky thread, listing with a poll on recommended battery packs? Which users have had good and bad experiences? Of course, sellers on here may advise on their batteries so hopefully they can stand by their choice and inform us...

Thanks @Peter.Bridge for the ammon box idea. The Royal Court of Justice article didn't say what brand and if it was being correctly charged. More than likely he cycled to work and didn't give his battery time to cool down and plugged it straight into charge. Having stressed his battery out doing...

The UPP 004 triangle is the one that has been reviewed as unsafe. What about the other UPP batteries, the more common bottle battery types? It would be good for a product safety report for the other UPP products. They must have sold 100s of thousands throughout the world, I haven't seen 100 of...

Ok thanks, guess the fireproof bag is just a bag now. Yikes! Where does everyone else store their batteries? Keeping it outside in a shed with the high 40c and sub-zero temperatures is not good for the batteries so what's the alternative?

So it's a specialist battery fireproof bag, recommended to hold large lithium batteries. I could build a metal box and insulate it with fire-retardant material. Better than leaving batteries out in the shed in sub-zero temperatures and extreme summer heat. Charging the batteries never gets hot...

Tempted to open up my UUP batteries, I bought some of the bottle batteries. It seems to be well made from the outside. I'm wondering if it has the Sanyo battery cells? I store the batteries in a fireproof bag and they stay there whilst charging. Is there a reason why the UPP store has pretty...

This thread is supposed to be about ToSeven motors, not the tongsheng TSDZ8 which looks to be a spec (750w) that's illegal on UK roads. It's larger/heavier, most of us are looking for a discreet, better engineered version of tongsheng TSDZ2B, hence the interest in ToSeven. Please create TSDZ8...

Correct me if I'm wrong - @Woosh you ordered some TSDZ2 Turbo but you don't know exactly what they are yet? I think they are worth a new discussion thread on there own.

Hi all, just joined the tread. Finished reading all 31 pages so far. Shame about the bickering. Please less of this, it makes us UK lads look bad, we are not all like this. I have installed the TSDZ2B on two bikes now. Largely impressed with it for the price. Had a play around with the...
