Did a load test on each cell. This is the reading just before the lvc kicks in and cuts the bike. What does this tell you? Brown 4.01v = 4.0v Red 8.0v = 4.0v Orange 12.1v = 4.1v Yellow 16.1v = 4.0v Green 20.3v = 4.2v Blue 24.4v = 4.1v Purple 28.5v = 4.1v Grey...

Thanks Neilh. Here are the latest findings. 41.3v when she's idle, then I throttle it up and get an initial voltage drop to 40.1v, then she settles at 40.9v for 2 or 3 seconds before the bike dies and the voltage returns to 41.3v Took a video of the readings here If we're thinking it's a...

I charged it overnight, tested it on the bike and it's the same fault symptom as my first post. Readings are Total: 41.3v Brown 4.10v Red 8.20v Orange 12.31v Yellow 16.42v Green 20.5v Blue 24.6v Purple 28.8v Grey 32.9v White 37.1v Red 41.3v What's the conclusion?

That Nealh, I ran the drain for a little longer over the weekend and took a final set of readings: Total: 35.0v Brown 3.49v Red 7.00v Orange 10.49v Yellow 14.01v Green 17.52v Blue 21.0v Purple 24.5v Grey 28.0v White 31.6v Red 35.0v I've put it on charge now and...

She's been trickle discharging for a few days. The display will temporarily show 3 out of the 5 bars for charge if I tap it. Latest readings are: Total: 36.9v Brown 3.68v Red 7.36v Orange 11.05v Yellow 14.74v Green 18.43v Blue 22.1v Purple 25.8v Grey 29.5v White...

The bike motor won't run for any longer than 3 seconds at a time, I can turn on the system though and the tail light illuminates so I can use that to drain the battery. How far should I drain? All the way until the battery is completely flat?

Ok, retested. Maybe my multimeter is a bit crap. I can only get readings to two decimal places for the first 4, then I need to switch up the meter to the next level. Clearly I screwed a few readings up the first time. How's this? Brown 4.11v Red 8.22v Orange 12.33v...

Eeek! Really? Ok. Not sure where I can store it actually. Outside sounds wise.

Here are the results: Brown 4.0v Red 8.1v Orange 6.3v Yellow 16.4v Green 19.9v Blue 24.6v Purple 28.8v Grey 33.9v White 37.1v Red 41.3v Looks like orange is knackered then yeah?

Ahh, this is why its safe for me to touch the live wires then huh?

Which is the battery ground? The cluster of wires on the side all merge into one black wire that attaches to one side of the fuse, the lower black wire attaches to the other side of the fuse. Is this earth? This is the back of the fuse, the original spade connector melted and the wire wasn't...

Ok, she's opened up. I don't think that connector comes off the circuit board? Should I try get the probe in the top of the connector? Which is the earth? Any advice welcome for my noobness.

41.3v is what it's testing at to be exact. Ok, I've cracked her open, and peeled away a little of the plastic cover. What's next? Also, when you say "As long as you don't short any battery cells or wiring together all is safe to work on.", do you mean that if I get a belt from 41.3v off...

Ha. Your in Sussex, England? I'm in Melbourne, Aus. You won't be hearing from me until tomorrow and even then Ive got a country to cheer for in the World Cup and some pints to accompany that.

Hi, and thanks. The bike must be at least 3 years old. My friend would commute on it daily until it started having constant issues with wiring and contacts arcing and melting. He gave it to me then. The pads on the discs are completely worn out which suggests to me its done many miles. Inside...

Hello pedelec hive mind, I'm hoping you can help me troubleshoot an old Ezee Torq bike I've got. I rode home last week and the bike was fine. Put it on charge. Next time I went to take it out the following occurs: Turn on the bike. Red LED comes on and stays solid. Battery meter does it's LED...
