powabyke battery

Hi Daveldo, I drew attention to your original post being in the wrong place, since Powacycle are a different company and Powabyke owners would not enter there and see your question. Also I didn't want to answer there as it might have misled others to use that clinic for Powabyke queries as well.
The connections between batteries are from negative to positive. In other words, the bikes positive connection should connect to the first battery's positive connector, then that first battery's negative connection should go to the second battery's positive, the second battery's negative to the third battery positive, and finally the third battery's negative to the bike's negative connection.
In that way the three batteries individual 12 volts each are summed to make 36 volts.
Please post back if that's still not completely clear.

powabyke battery connections
Hello,
thanks for your reply but it is not quite that simple! As I said I am not sure that this is a Powabyke, or a Powabyke battery box, but it just looks like it, it being unlabeled! There are three wires black yellow and red, as I remember it, and we assume that the red is connected to the positive end, but we are not sure where in the chain the yellow connection goes! Is it 12v from the black negative, or is it 24v with two batteries to the negative black. I do hope somebody with recongise this configuration. I have not looked too closely but there is a driver/inverter box mounted on the front head, and presume that the lower voltage is for an interim supply in the box!
thanks,
Daveldo

Sorry I have not got those battery wires correct. I should say firstly that I only think that this is a Powabyke because of the shape of the battery case, with two lead acid batteries end to end, and the third one crosswise! Yes following on from my last note, the red wire must be in the middle of the chain, as it has two connectors on it! As I tried to explain, which end has the black and the white wire, and where are the two batteries, making 24 volts!
