    Help! Replacement 36v battery for a Giant Suede

    At my age and condition At my age and condition there'll be no variables :D. My sense of adventure is down to slight inclines and max 10 miles each way to visit my daughter. So I'm pleased that it indicates 30 range . Well just see how it performs over time And many recharges. Although I don't...

    Help! Replacement 36v battery for a Giant Suede

    Yes I'd never do it regularly. But as a one off want to see how long it lasted after that I'll keep topping up just as and when and I'm sticking to 2-amp charger as I believe anything higher for a 10ah may shorten life

    Help! Replacement 36v battery for a Giant Suede

    Thanks the LEDs are on the throttle not on the battery thinking they're not reliable so I'm ignoring them that's why I'm checking the voltage it's a new battery so we'll see what happens I've only been testing it after work so so I've done 10 miles 7miles and 4 miles separate days. Planning to...

    Help! Replacement 36v battery for a Giant Suede

    Thanks but no no I'm ignoring the LEDs which are on the throttle control anyway not on the battery I'm referring to to the voltage Reading from the battery contactsv using multimeter would have been 42v when full currently at 35v after 21 miles usage hence the calculation in my post

    Help! Replacement 36v battery for a Giant Suede

    Does that mean that the battery voltage reading after use directly relates to how much is left in it ? Example if I did 21 miles from full (42), and it now shows 35, is that 7/10 of the available power used ? 42-35 =7. That would mean I could get 30 miles in total from one charge .

    Help! Replacement 36v battery for a Giant Suede

    Another 7 miles tonight total 21 miles so far and still something left in New battery even though led on red last 2 days. Can't see me charging this more than twice a week so hoping degradation will be slow . I'm possibly over reporting here . It's just that it's an Aerdu battery which don't...

    Help! Replacement 36v battery for a Giant Suede

    Yes well this battery being 360 wh it quotes on web about 18 -20 miles range. Not much for you guys but it works for me. I think maybe the led indicator goes to red a bit quickly irrespective of how much juice is left in it . but anyway I've done 10 miles yesterday 4 this afternoon and I'm...

    Help! Replacement 36v battery for a Giant Suede

    Gotcha . So I guess I can't relate 42v fully charged And 37v part charged to the battery led indicators . And guess I can't say 42v Is full , 32v is empty ,so 37v Is half empty .. I guess that means I run till it stops to find range .

    Help! Replacement 36v battery for a Giant Suede

    Sorry I didn't learn electronics so I'm pestering you all. On my 36v 10ah battery if it's at a low level after usage will the multimeter voltage test still show 36v(well actually 37.6) ? I'm unsure whether the traffic light led battery indicator on my throttle is accurate. After a ride it's down...

    Help! Handlebar throttle partial power only

    Looks like you ve got all the options anyone could need . Well I'm stuck with a voilamart 36v 250w motor with a controller which basically leaves me free wheeling a lot. after kicking in it goes shooting off at full pelt. Think that's why I'm not getting the range. I've only just got this 36v...

    Help! Handlebar throttle partial power only

    So you've got preset levels. But what changes at each level the speed at which you pedal to engage the motor or amount of power going to the motor

    Help! Handlebar throttle partial power only

    Nealh ref your adjustable pedal assist is it operated by reduction in voltage? If so is this all done through the control box or is it some kind of adjustment on the pedal sensor. Just curious how it works

    Help! Replacement 36v battery for a Giant Suede

    Just tested . As I expected it works ok because as I told I bought a new throttle and that didn't fix the problem therefore it's not the throttle . I guess something between control box and motor or the actual control box ?? Anyway it's getting put together . I'm not messing with control box ...

    Hello guys I'm not averse to buying new 2 pin connectors for my new battery if I knew where to get them . But do you think this bit of burn on this connector will affect the connection ?
