Here's the timer link on Amazon - £10.99

That's a bit beyond my expertise (such as it is). I would guess you somehow need to monitor the current drawn by the battery as during the balancing process the current drops gradually to zero. If this state could be detected and made to trigger a relay or something.......? I've taken a simple...

For my 36v bottle battery I knocked up (as in a basic construction) a battery capacity tester as seen in one of the pics below. The schematic diagram shows a battery that is connected (point A) to a wattmeter and then switched through to a resistive dummy load. My battery is nominally 10Ah but I...

I follow "Ebikeschool" on YT - the guy has a wide knowledge of the subject and if you watch his 'Top 5 predictions for the 2023 Ebike Industry' (link) he reckons that due to increasing demand, the price of ebikes will come down, or stay the much same but with better components. So it may well...

Just lubing may or may not free up the pawls/other and it may or may not stay fixed. Given that a re-occurence may occur and given how that could leave you stranded *, ideally it is preferable (IMHO) to strip down and make sure there is no damage. Unless of course a breakdown isn't much of a...

I am looking to build a 10s2p 36v battery pack for my 250w TSDZ2. The TSDZ2 controller is set to a max current draw of 15A I nearly always ride in ECO mode with an average current draw of around 4A with the ocassional peak of 8A-10A in the next higher assist level. With generous help from...

@Zlatan , Well, I'm not in for another ebike but if I were I'd be avoiding Giant for sure (and anyway, I'm a 'kit' man TBH) - you've been unlucky with that one.

I would guess the pawls in the freehub/freewheel have either got stuck (squirt in some lube to see if this improves things), but it's best to get the right removal tool eg one for a freehub or freewheel and replace it to give you confidence for future cycling. (Freehub is like Shimano cassette...

I'm guessing it's a cadence sensing power delivery system rather than the more intuitive torque sensing one. Decathlon are known for good value products so it'll be good to hear your thoughts when you've seen it.

I'm thinking you're not clear on describing battery configurations.(let alone tinkering!). Do be careful! If it is a 36v battery then you have 10 cells in series and if it's 10x3 (or 10s x 3p) then there's a further 2 cells in parallel with the first cell. Each cell has a nominal voltage of...

Hi @matthewslack -my battery build ambitions are similar to yours and @Nealh has been a fountain of knowledge

I'm the original poster of this thread, so has anyone bought batteries from cell supply then? Someone way up thread (before the thread hijack) mentioned that it'd be necessary to balance reclaimed batteries but I'd have thought you'd do this even for new ones. Any

Oops, my mistook - durgh :rolleyes:

@Nealh I briefly looked at the specs for the P42a and P42b but didn't spot any difference although I'm guessing there must be - can you enlighten me please?

As more data is collected then the more knowledge as to what triggers AF becomes known, but it certainly isn't an exact science. The best an individual can do, and this includes anyone, not just cyclists/sports people aged 60 or over, is to be as pro active as possible about their health...

Yes, you're right @Nealh - I asked the question of them and their reply was:

First and foremost, the bike has to be comfortable for you. Bike geometry is a very individual thing and if you've not ridden before, there's a very good chance that you'll think you know what will be comfortable but after a few weeks/months of riding, you'll not be so sure. Given this last...

I'm getting close to my first battery build and thanks for the information on here about the various options and suppliers Fogstar get the thumbs up from a good few folks but I'm wondering about the Dutch company Nkon as a source They have two web outlets - one where you pay VAT if you're in the...

It's a key thing to try and identify the triggers and they vary from folk to folk. For me it was cycling too energetically for too long. E.g one episode was triggered by a 100 mile day on an unassisted bike at which point the penny dropped and along came the e-bike and more typically 30-mile...
