It doesn't say on it how many watts the charger is, but from what I've learned here it works out to be 50w and if I buy a 15v 7a psu it will charge my battery at 2.3a from flat in about 7.5hrs. and if I decide I need it quicker in the future I will upgrade the charger to maybe an 80w which the...

My charger is called a turnigy and states 6s at 6a charging on it. I've done an experiment and found my cheap 12v 6a psu causes the charger to alarm out at 6s 1.7a and above charge so have I been done with a rubbish psu? I also borrowed a 15v 7a psu and the charger will only go up to 6s 2.3a...

So at the moment my charger charging 6s(24v) at 2a uses 48watts which is it's max and so the 12v 6a(72w) power supply should easily cope with that? Even though it does get really hot.

I wanted a go at this idea a while back and bought some of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20Pcs-41F-0H41-SH41-SS41F-S41-Bipolar-Hall-Effect-Sensors-for-Electric-Motors-/400633898101?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5d47a42475 and some small magnets. Are they the correct parts and if so which wire...

To get a neat radius use a small holesaw and hacksaw up to the radius.

Got any pic's Nealh? I am considering a go at this idea soon.

2x 8a batteries.

I had to read that several times to get it (or not). So the biggest power supply I might as well use on this 50w charger is 50w(charger)/24(6s)=2a(psu) ? But I'm sure my psu is 12v 6a (not got it with me)and gets very hot as if it's overworking. This is where I get confused is that the power...

I still haven't got this volts x amps / something thing yet. I want to charge 2x 8ah 6s lipo batteries paralleled together on a turnigy 50w 5a charger, or even a new bigger one. I will soon be ordering a power supply to hopefully up the charge rate so how do I work out the power supply in amp...

Is the problem your removal tool has a pointy thing in the middle stopping it going on? Mine just has a hole like this one...

Good creative thinking, can also be fully waterproofed with a clear plastic bag and elastic bands. Can you get cutting discs for your rotary tool? There are these metal nibbling attachments if you have a drill although I've never used one...

Sound like a fun project, is this the type of switch or do you know of a better handlebar style fitting one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3PDT-Three-Pole-Miniature-Flick-Toggle-Switch-On-On-Double-Throw-Panel-Mount-/131327576038?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item1e93bbc7e6

Thanks d8veh, I think I will leave it in the bottom of the box then.

Having looked at this one it has red/black/green which on a wire diagram shows as pedal assist so I wondered how the PAS could be used on this with no display? On LCD displays I can select 5 levels of PAS.

Routing through my box of ebike bits I have a ku123 (probably ordered by mistake) controller which I guess is an old design controller but I have no control panel for it. How do these work? would I need to buy controlling accessories to use it? and so is it worth me keeping to use in the future?

---Happy 5k miles---- Look what I spotted the other day, lucky I looked at the display just when I did. Could I now consider the whole project paid for it's self by now? My main battery is still the original 'cheapest at the time' 10ah bottle from BMSB doing me proud and although I've used...

I think you have just solved my problem of cold cups of tea when working in the garage !!

Maybe put a watt meter between your battery and bulbs to tell you the amps.

And put a fan on behind you for wind assistance.

This got me thinking during my cryogenic deep freeze commute today. Lets say I use PAS level 3 (of 5) with a 16a controller and battery is at 44v and I am at max of PAS level 3=60% of max amps=10a powering the motor. So that works out to 440w right? Now lets assume same controller but I drop to...
