Do you usually get this worked up over an internet forum?

Hmmm.... That's what Smart Ebiker would have said. *backs away slowly*

Are you Smart Ebiker in disguise?

I honestly believe that there's some fundamental misunderstanding of terminology used your post (#66) that is confusing the debate, but I don't see the point in to-ing and fro-ing with you over it. You're happy to do what you're doing and we're happy that others aren't. Shall we just leave it...

Firstly, there's no problem in debating or discussing SOC. It's not a dirty word and a partial charge is good practice in certain scenarios. It's making blanket-wide recommendations without understanding the issues it can cause that can cause problems for others. You are correct that a lithium...

I'll leave the battery choice for someone else to help, since I tend to not buy 'off the shelf' packs. I would however recommend sourcing from within the UK if after sales service is of any importance to you. Tesla packs achieve such a long service life due to a number of measures. Firstly, as...

Tesla do everything that you say, but their BMS's are programmable so that balancing occurs at whatever voltage they want it to, therefore balancing is not compromised. I'm pretty sure they do 'top balance' though, although I'm not totally certain. Another possibility is 'active balancing' that...

I'd say you're certainly looking to "bend over and touch 'em" with one of us and we all know you like the butch ones. Who's on top tonight then?

Can't interest you with a 'Netflix 'n chill' then? I bet it's been your plan all along to familiarize yourself with d8veh's probe. Go on then. It'll all end in tears I tell you. He's only interested in your batteries.

Oh, do stop flirting. Please tell, out of the two of us, who do you really prefer?

No. I can't be bothered to explain why 'bottom balancing' is bad practice and why you are always only one degraded cell away from a catastrophic event.

Can't. Be. Bothered.

I have. They give less protection than balancing BMS boards. What's your point? I can fit my little finger in a household mains socket - doesn't make it a good idea though.

Not necessarily 'better', just more suitable for a low-power, low speed electric bike.

This is the Wuxing 108x, not 130x and is a great thumb throttle in its own right.

I haven't the foggiest what you are getting your knickers in a twist over, but you clearly have a habit of not reading what is being said. I've explained in my own words, without the need of assistance from anyone else, why undercharging an 'off the shelf' BMS protected pack is a bad idea. I...

I have always had a short fuse and don't suffer fools gladly, but I'm trying to better myself as I age. I'm pleased it's not possible to view previous post revisions, since I called him a lot worse. After 15 minutes I realised that it made me come across as a bit of a dick and all the cursing...

If you spend a while on this forum, it should become apparent that d8veh is one of the worlds most knowledgeable and experienced electric bike builders. Yes, he can be blunt and sometimes even a little rude. He's not always right (we're all still learning 'till the day we die, after all), but he...

I base it on my own understanding of the subject. D8 nails the explanation in the first paragraph of post #20.

It's tempting to dig your heels in when someone challenges you on an internet forum (d8veh is often blunt and to the point), but he is 100% correct in this instance. You would be better off trying to understand the theory behind his statement, rather than dismissing it outright.
