Hi. I’m wondering where the settings are typically held when you set them on the display. I would expect them to be stored in the actual controller, but it’s possible to have them stored in the display unit I guess. Can someone tell me - thanks!

For a really good battery charger you’d probably pay c.£50. There’s a lot of chargers available on ebay and it might be tempting to risk buying one, but what would you be getting? I bought a 42v charger off of ebay for £6.99 to see what was “in the box” (photos attached). What I got is a...

Hi all. Does anyone have a view on these discharge converters you see on Aliexpress or ebay? They say it will allow you to connect two or three battery packs at the same time, but none of them actually clarify what technology they are using to achieve this. Are they just blocking diode packs, or...

Not to everyone’s taste, but I’ve now got a handlebar switch that turns off the PAS sensor. I find that the motor kicks in when I just want to turn the pedals for stability, and also my help-needs are more subtle than a basic help setting on the display. This also allows me to jump easily...

My wife took a little tumble while we were out riding (motorist not giving any room). Her spare Swytch pack was in her pannier and may have taken a hit, so I’m thinking that it needs more protection - although to be fair, the Swytch pack is looks very rugged. Just bought two padded zip-up cases...

Hi all. I don’t like owning anything “technical” without knowing how it works. My Swytch batteries are maximum 42v fully-charged, 30v discharged. This leads me to believe I’ve got a chain (or multiple chains) of 10 cells in series. When I used to to RC models the battery packs had balancing...

I’m at the stage where I would like to standardise on a specific connector for my various 36v packs (Swytch/Makita/whatever). Attributes I can think of, are high current, polarity sensitive, waterproof, and safe. I’m considering the Amass Deans T connector which is rated at 36A. Is that a good...

I’ve got a lot of Lithium batteries. My power tools have them, some household appliances have them, and now our bikes have them. I don’t use them all the time and especially over winter months a few get ignored for a while - to their detriment. I’m loath to spend time once a month going round...

Disclaimer - you mess around with these battery packs at your own risk - what follows are my own observations that may or may not be fact! On the yellow connector on the battery: - the two centre connections (O and D shaped) are charging input only. There is circuitry before the actual battery...

I accept that in the UK you aren’t allowed a throttle, and have the pedal sensor so that the motor only assists if you are peddling. The word throttle implies to me what you get on a motorbike - you turn the twist grip and the engine gives you more umph - which on the pedelec is more like...
