    new charger needed for converted e bike

    Can you solder ? Just I found it easier to buy any old 36v lion charger - I bought a generic Chinese charger that originally came with a alien ocean bike. Cut the connector off. Head down to Maplins and buy the right connector for about £1.20 and solder it on Job done !

    help- have I broken my battery?

    Hi d8veh The second thought I had on this point was I wondered wether a charger which delivers , say, 2a at 42v constantly might damage a controller if left like that for any length of time without actually running the motor A battery, I think, won't deliver 2a unless this is a draw on it...

    help- have I broken my battery?

    My guess is that the battery connects to the controller via the socket your daughter used As your battery is 42v and the charger is 42v it ought to not damage the controller , I think Though there are far greater and more knowledgeable folk than me on here

    help- have I broken my battery?

    That's a bit far away for me :) Does the battery have a lead that goes from the battery into the pack under the seat ? This pack contains the controller Basically the battery should go into should supply power to the controller . And then the controller has cables going out to...

    brooks flyer saddle

    I use a b17 and I also wouldn't. Use anything else and have tried dozens over the years I did use the brooks saddle wax stuff . The general rule is once a day for a week., once a month for a year. Once a year after that I used it less than that though and haven't bothered for at least 2 years now

    imax B6

    In your case it should be 5s on both sides. One side is what you've told charger a the other is what it senses That error comes up if, for example, you setup to charge a 5s but plug a 4s in Or when you setup for 5s and plug in a 5s where one or more of the 5x series is under 3v At least it...

    KU65 and PAS

    I have this controller and I did not like the pas so I disconnected it. Nothing to do with this controller I just prefer to chose how much assistance I want via the throttle - it's far more immediate and infinitely incrementally variable Must admit I didn't notice such an extreme difference...

    cyclotricity kit with bottle battery

    I further add that the reason for asking what actual cells are inside the case is that it would affect the offered price. By way of explanation I am very surprised , happily so, the longevity of panasonics I have in mine and Samsung have a good reputation - but I would treat generic Chinese...
