Thanks a lot, this is exactly the kind of advice I needed.

The Chinese charger only has two pins so can't be balancing itself. I assume the BMS inside the pack does the balancing.

Update: It's fitted and feels a little better. When legs are pedalling with no assist it's hard to feel the drag although I'm sure it's there. Best to just fit it and not worry too much about it I think, seems to perform very well and quiet with assist on.

Bought a 48v pack from Insat. Arrived quickly and range seems good. It came with a very generic (and light) Chinesium charger. I'm a bit distrustful of cheapo generic mains electrical products from China as I don't believe the quality control or the standards are there. Are there any...

What is being "run in" though? I didn't think back pedalling or pedalling without the motor running actually turned the motor.

TSDZ2 has just arrived. Took it out the box and tried to spin the chain ring by hand in the direction it would normally travel and it felt stiff. I can turn it ok but it wouldn't continue moving after I stop pushing. Slipped a crank arm on and tried forward pedalling and back pedalling (by hand)...
