Chinese whispers ... Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm with flecc... Timing belt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was toying with a MOSFET idea, source to the battery, drain to the controller, and a Zener with a bleed resistor between source and the gate, component count = 3 lol, there's of course the short circuit current issue that needs to avoid melting the MOSFET but that's not a major problem...

AFAIK ... a bms isn't needed. (or what I really mean is, I aint going to use one) Reasoning is that the balancing is done by the charger, so no point in duplicating the circuitry, over current / short circuit protection for the battery can be easily achieved by a suitable wire or poly fuse, the...

Could put a condom on for protection :p

I've been on marches and just as flecc says.. nothing happened The only way goverment can be infulenced is by lobbying, and the lobbyists that have the best chance of being taken notice of don't come cheap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the links but I already have a cheapo watt meter and lcd volt displays from a previous life, lol The cunning plan involves either adjusting the controler lvc upwards or maybe fudging something up with zeners, but no panic as it will be a while before every thing arrives Sent from...

Have ordered the 5800ma ones from Hobbyking Germany cos after testing and seeing what range they give, I intend (cough) to put another 2 in parallel to give 11.6a .. which should be about right :p Still thinking of a cunning plan for the 44 lvc :cool:

Thanks Richard Lipos coming from Germany via GLS ;) & power supply from the uk... they are out of stock of the 4 x 6 cell chargers so will have a look at that link.

Thank you for the reasoning ... So as soon as either there's uk stock of 5.5 ah or 6 ah then I'll order them, or if I get impatient then will pay the extra postage from the eu but won't get involved with extra duty cos I'm bound to get hit enough for the existing stuff from BMS. Thanks again...

Lol... what fire ;) I was remarking about their short life (rated number of recharge cycles), HobbyKing say "Zippy: Great value for money. Average Cycle Life* (100+) and minimal voltage sag under load. TURNIGY Standard: Excellent value, Longer Cycle life* (160+) and very low voltage sag under...

However ... lol After a bit of research, I'm put off by the lipo life, may be cheaper for the mid term to build a headway pack with a couple of extra cells ?

Recap.. for newbies Shop sells bike Bike breaks Shop can't do anything yet cos maker of bike aint got any spares Shop supplies a loan bike Shop and customer both very miffed Thread deleted :p

Thank you again Dave Will start with 2 in series and then if the range is pants can add 2 more in parallel, so will get a 4 x 6 charger, electronics & electricky are no problemo as I've a few related certificates (inc 100 yard breast stroke.. :p) if its an option then will think about raising...

Well done eddieo, not sure about the speed up (cos I't didn't give enough time to look at the girls... lol), but the length of the video was just right, so congrats to your son:)

44v Lipos... Ok you've got me excited,lol But did you mean a 36v lipo pack that gives about 44v ish or a build with about 14/15 cells ? If its the 14/15 then two questions 1. Recommended seller to get the cells and bms from. 2. What charger is adjustable to suit Sent from my iPhone using...

Well.. we all have our opinions and I do see and accept what your saying about "well aired or partially outdoor area" even though that criteria wasn't in your original comment :p

If only it was as simple as that, then that statement is possibly correct.. Its the added chemicals that causes problems.. there's an admitted 599 but some peeps say that the real count is a lot higher. "Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide and ammonia are all present in...

36v 328rpm 20" kit ordered ... :)
