I can’t follow your link, but anyway I would be very careful when buying any charger - it’s dangerous territory. There’s a few genuine Swytch chargers for sale on ebay. These are excellent quality and trust-worthy. Yes, they are around £30, but cheaper ones are risky.

I use four Makita batteries on my Swytch Max setup. four are good for up to 20 miles of moderate assistance. Not worth doing unless you already have the batteries because a 36v decent battery pack is a lot cheaper than using Makitas. Makita batteries also are highly protected by the onboard BMS...

The O-side is positive, and the D-side is neg. You can confirm this by putting a meter onto the output plug of your Swytch charger, so just wondering why you needed to ask? Don’t try taking power from the O & D connector - it’s power INPUT to the battery pack only,

I’m kind of in the same situation. The Swytch Max uses a Lishui controller (as do their other kits). I bought a C500 display off of ebay for £20 that has a Lishui-compatable version. like you, I fell foul of it having the wrong plug. I will change the connector but I want to do some tests first...

M6 Julet 5-pin connectors are available on eBay. Search for M6 2/3/4/5/6Pin Cable Display Pin Base Connector Waterproof Connector. Link as follows:-...

… in the hope of clarifying, all Swytch hubs (both gen 2 and 3) have the commonly-used nine-pin connector, and that would make the hubs sensored I believe.

Opening the controller up is the best way. Some screws are torx and some philips - watch out for the little rubber gromits on the yellow connector screws. There’s just about enough room to join your red and black extension wires to the existing red and black wires that run between the yellow...

Simple question - I’ve seen the word “etched” on this form somewhere when describing the markings on the hub. Can it ever be a stick on label, or does the rating need to be etched into the hub itself?

… but I still fully support Saneagle’s suggestion of using a simple connector as being the easiest way for most.

IF (and only if) you are electrical-savvy and don’t mind a bit of fettling, then adding a blocking diode to the mix would be a thought. That way, if you connect more than one battery at a time, then the diodes will prevent large (potentially damaging) current flows if the batteries have...

When you open up your handlebar battery holder, beware of the two very small rubber gromits that live on the two screws that hold the yellow plug to the case. You can see them in the attached photo. You might not need to remove the plug if you’re just tapping into it. Search for “swytch” and you...

Thanks. I had a can of Isopon Fastglas resin in the garage so I used that.

Hi. Quite chuffed with the result. I can’t justify a 3d printer so I used silicon mould compound, and resin for the actual item. The each of the four spades are two 4.8 spades back-to-back (to give the thickness). I wanted some of the special plugs that swytch use to connect to their gen 3...

… and a throttle too.

Amazon are doing a kit which has the KT 17A controller, LCD5 display, and an 8 magnet PAS for a very reasonable price of just over £40. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vbestlife-Electric-Controller-Brushless-Replacement/dp/B09LCKLSH2

Fully support what Whoosh is saying. I had mentally made note that you announced yourself in your first post as a techy. There is no easy path here - every step will need testing and some fettling e.g. this KT controller isn’t going to fit in your existing swytch holder.

Hi Rig the Jig. I’m pretty sure this is a winning set of parts, but I’ve just pulled them off the web quickly this afternoon. i normally would spend an hour or two checking the detail to be sure. For instance, KT do various displays - I think I’ve read that the LCD5 is the best choice, but I’d...

Sorry. here’s the display https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304753239609?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=q9s8agz1ts6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=IB4nVD07Rea&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Hi. Here’s a link for the controller https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373092368923?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=BIkqNzGcSj6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=IB4nVD07Rea&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Here’s the display...

Ebay wins out again. They do a nice eight-magnet KT PAS for £17.
