I want to run 2 or maybe even 3 cree lights and find the cheap batteries you get with them cutout really quick with a couple lights connected so am carrying 3 batteries for now. I have a spare 2s LiPo battery so cut the discharge wire off an old rubbish chinese li-ion battery and soldered on a...

I think it's Tesla's fault buying every single one produced. Any idea if the free cree torch in your batteries ebay link cuts off at the correct low volts? I would be paranoid about forgeting and taking them down to empty.

I have found trying to find and press the flat buttons is difficult when wearing gloves and continue cycling, so came up with a solution to punch/cut tiny bits of thick plastic rubbish and superglue onto the buttons. Different thickness for each button so is easy to find through thick gloves in...

Wow 5 years use is really good although I'd read these rc-lipo batteries were supposed to be left at storage charge for anything longer than 48hrs and only charged when needed?

Second anotherkiwi's idea for a high power charger on a slow charge, since you are at work all day there is no rush to charge quick and the safety of a balance charger is probably a better option at work, you could also go for a BC168 and parallel charge at low power with that too. If you then...

Look's good, I know who I will be calling for my next battery. Is Andy a member of Pedelec's forum?

Could you give a link for the lcd with battery cutoff?

Max discharge in the chargers spec is 5w 8.4v x 0.6a = 5w

As the title says, this is the new best headlight. Very impressed. Given it's size I was expecting a dot on the ground with a large dim halo around it but in reality it throws the beam all round where needed and it even compares to my large 4-led light too which I didn't expect. I can't see why...

Back to original subject, my light finally arrived today. Has a good quality feel to it. Test in the morning and compare with my big light which only get's used on the pitch black dark lanes out of town away from cars.

I wonder if a 3s lipo would be a usable equivalent. The advantage of lipo's in this situation is the discharge rate of over 25C, so this 3s 1a should easily manage over 25a discharge. With a weight of just 79g...

Would a Hobbyking lipo battery be lighter and able to provide more power for the motor, so you may then have enough power as is ? I think they sell the spares too..

It's ok, I have replaced it with the tyre I took off the rear motor wheel which I put a Marathon+ on when it had only done about 1000 miles. Sorted for another couple of years now.

Got a puncture in my front tyre the other day. Inspecting the tyre I noticed it had a split along it and realized it had been on since the bike was new. It's done nearly 14'000 miles. Not bad I thought. I think it's time to replace it now I must have got my moneys worth out of it by now. Go on...

I wired a spare watt meter to show the power going into my battery whilst being charged just to compare with the watts I was using and there is some watts missing somewhere. With the same journey twice and battery charged to full - Power used 3.37aH / 117wH Charge back in 3.5aH /145 wH next...

I ordered one ages ago and my order got cancelled and refunded by the seller due to delivery problems. I've just ordered another one to try again. I recommended it to a friend who got his really quick and he's very impressed and I've not even seen one yet.

If the J-end isn't sat properly in the hub hole this could place pressure on the bend and cause a break. Graham at Tiller Cycles recommended to me to use brass spoke washers a couple years ago and seems to have helped me. http://www.tillercycles.co.uk/page2.html Also Sheldon Brown mentions them...

My 36v 10aH battery is well used and nearly expired. Today I stuck my WATT meter on my battery for the first time in quite a while today. It told me my regular journey used 3.37aH or 117wH. (most of the journey was at about 32v too) In theory, if I were to replace the battery with one which is...

Could a lead be rigged up to run 2 of those battery cases in parallel (8 cells) and with a thicker output wire to provide enough current without another blowup?

What is the saddle bag used? That battery must be tiny even compared to lipo's. This thread has just reminded me of a battery hiding project I started about 18months ago and come up with this idea for a 10s 6ah lipo block. I never did get to finish the project but the many bags I bought are...
