Ah, I have it really wrong about electrics then as I thought the fuse was to be at the battery, so I knocked this up the other day. Will this not protect from fire and should I not bother with another I was going to make? any chance shemozzle999 could help me choose one of those wire-end fuses...

I don't know much about electronics and my wiring isn't the best but I am adding one of these volt displays to my handlebars http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261242417255?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Because the wires are exposed at the back I want to make it a bit safer...

That was me d8veh, thanks for taking the time to take the photo's. You recommended that exact bag and I bought one to try. I was unable to get my 6s 6a in though and have been waiting for 5s 5.8a to come into stock. Having seen these photos I will try again. Do you know if he secures the bag on...

Thanks d8veh, yes it was the 6 wires into 5 I was trying to work out. I joined the ones you said to the middle 4s wire(I can't quite get my head around how it works but it does!) Job done. I now have a single usable 4s battery

That looks a nice solution too, however when searching for info on the Dynapack range I stumbled across the Topeak Mondopack which looks pretty much exactly what I've been looking for and I'm sure it's the right size for my small battery I'm making. Fantastic, thanks all...

I have 2x2s lipo's which will always be used in series together. To save me plugging/unplugging 2 leads every time, is it possible to semi/permanently series them together into a 4s then tape them together too as one battery. The discharge leads I'm sure is easy, simply using a series harness...

ah, the LCD3, I haven't got one of those (yet) Thanks.

How do you reduce the amps in the settings?

Why not contact forum trade members to see if they are able to export bikes to your country?

To reduce cramps you need to replace your electrolytes, i.e potassium and sodium which you loose through dehydration. Potassium is in bananas and sodium is salt but salt being bad I sometimes put 1g of losalt into 1l of juice, losalt is lower in sodium but high in potassium. Or I use these nice...

Not bad lasting from 2011, any ideas how many miles you've done with this battery, or aprox number of charges? My 10ah bottle from 2013 and used daily is on it's way out and has done about 5500 ish miles on about 280 ish charges

Thanks, I will go for charging at both ends now and see how much longer I get out of it until it won't even manage that. Can't upgrade the battery at the moment but I do have a bmsb 20ah 'breeze block' which is too heavy for me but I will now have to start using more and will look at using my...

Thanks for that d8veh, telling me that sequence made me realize it's not random and is worth some concentrating on and you were pretty close when I worked it out with a diagram. Mine is 1-3-6-7 one side and 2-4-5-8-9-10 the other. So I rigged up my load bank of watt meter,kettles,soldering...

That cell has now held at the same volts as the others, they are all now about the same after a 10miles run, so I will try the 20mile run I normally do tomorrow to check if I get it. If I get the 20miles I will leave the battery for now with slightly less umph until it starts loosing too much...

Cheers d8veh, It's a bmsbattery 10ah bottle done about 280 charges. I have put that single connection on charge with my BC168 with the minus on that pin and the plus on the pin next to it and it's going fine, or did you mean charge up the whole pack? If so I can go and do that instead.

Cycling into a 30mph head on wind the other day has give my battery a beating. At 18mile it died where I have in the past had 30miles. Not to worry I give it a good charge up for the next day, but I noticed a considerable lack of power even though the volts on my handlebar volts display appeared...

Thanks d8veh, they look good, I'm going to give one a try. I'm thinking of leaving the batteries inside and removing the whole thing as a pack for charging.

I am thinking of a large saddle type bag to hide 2x 5s lipo's, or even 2x 6s lipos if possible. Has anyone tried it and found one strong/secure enough and large enough for them with some padding ? My controller is probably going in a small box within the frame so that won't be a problem...

I sometimes use one of these chain scrubbers http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/park-tool-chain-scrubber-cm5-2/rp-prod8207 with some of this in it http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/weldtite-citrus-degreaser-chain-cleaner/rp-prod5952 if I don't want to remove the chain or if I remove it I...

Yes it's that Accucel-6, I thought it was it was 6s at 6a and also thought my cheap 12v 6a charger was 72w but it must only be 3a 36w ish so I've learned how to work it all out now from this help.
