When I was checking out lipo's before getting into them I also checked ytube for lipo fire. At first I was worried but then realized most were caused on purpose by misuse, a bit like a video of putting a match to a can of petrol to see what how much it would flare up. I've made up a 12s in a...

I've just read a bit about Raynaud's syndrome as my fingers seem to loose circulation and go sore. Apparently silk liners are recommended, have you tried those in the past?

I might have to try a pair of these as my fingers get sore now with the slightest bit of cold even with merino liners and ski gloves, maybe I'm getting that syndrome flecc has.

I got a reply from Comma regarding the CV Lith-Moly grease :- -------------------------------- Our CV Lith-Moly Grease is mineral oil based and therefore we do not recommend for use with polymers or plastics -------------------------------- So it turns out I've a full tub of the stuff I can't...

I would be interested in one of these, could you recommend any bms's suitable for use with lipo's which you may have used?

If you decide on 2xchargers there's also the cost of 2 power supplies too which has the benefit of charging twice as fast, and some cheap lipo alarms/monitors

You only need one charger as you would seperate them from series and charge both blocks in parallel so you would be charging a 5s 32aH battery. My charger of choice would be a BC168 recommended to me by d8veh which is easiest to use and also comes with a balance board. edit: Oh just noticed you...

Yes I am, my idea on the front is to use slime in a tyre with maybe a softer compound and more grip on the front than say a marathonplus and use the harder compound puncture proof marathonplus on the rear motor wheel. Seems to have been a good combination for general road commuting for me and no...

My front has Slime in it. I'd done about 8000 miles before the first puncture the other week due to a large thorn still stuck in the tyre. Since it was pitch black I changed the tube for a new one which has been in the saddlebag for the last 2 years only to find it has split on a folded seam so...

First test, make sure you can carry lots of botles of wine - Pass You can always put the batteries in a backpack afterall.:) Sorry couldn't resist.

Thanks for the links bobdk I've sent Comma an email asking them. So I am OK to use this stuff on ball bearings (wheels,headsets etc) and to take the sides off sealed bearings and stuff it in those, or basically anywhere there is only metal parts ?

I thought grease was grease was grease , so ordered the first tub I found which was called Comma CV Lith-Moly Grease. Can I put that stuff inside around my motor's nylon gears and pack into sealed bearings? I hope so as I have a new full tub of the stuff.

A great guide, thanks. I don't understand how the hoses are to be kept horizontal during the process without loosing fluid though?

I bought a set of those last year and have still to get out of the box. I did't give the hose length a second thought and did not get any spare bits to adjust the hose length though. Could you say what bits I would need to buy and give a small guide on how I would do it.

I would take them to nearer 4.1 to match the other strings as the bms may struggle to balance the pack with a string down so low.

For a project later this year I am thinking of trying my Q128H with the next size lipo's up from 12s. I am thinking 15s (3x5s=easiest wiring) but need to know will an S12S which is rated@48v take 15s lipo's fully charged@63v ? Anyone tried it? or is there a better controller and lcd display...

Kinninvie being a regular lipo user will probably be able to offer me advice on this one - my lipos's are in storage mode for month's with a monthly topup and generally all cells have not changed except I have 1 cell which drops to around 3.73 ish at each topup. It is the first pack I bought a...

Would I be able to charge my 10s 6600mah pack up with my 2a charger I currently plug into my 36v bottle battery,first changing the plugs ?

Yes very different to my chargers. How/how often do you do the balancing or is it not needed all the time?

What charger have you got? Both mine need me to press buttons like 'set' 'check' confirm' etc to start charging and I like your idea.
