    Cut-off voltage

    Before you start opening it up or buy a new battery, try leaving it on the charger for a day or two. The charger light will go green, but just leave it to see if it self balances.

    Insulting Message from 50 Cycles

    The problem now is, nobody would have remembered any of d8veh's comments and most likely took them in jest anyway. But, this thread will now stick in people's minds as the one where you got a bit angry and defensive Scott. Whether that has a positive or negative effect on future purchases from...

    Bafang 750w Mid drive on 13 Incline Alpha 27.5" MTB

    If you need the capacity to travel a long distance, then that would be fine. If you don't need the capacity and want something a little bit lighter and cheaper, then their Samsung 30Q 12Ah pack would be perfect. http://www.eclipsebikes.com/12ah-lithium-frame-battery-samsung-cells-p-1123.html...

    Bafang 750w Mid drive on 13 Incline Alpha 27.5" MTB

    IMHO, there is little reason to run a BBS02 on 52 volts. The low voltage indicator will not give an accurate representation on 52v, as it's designed for 48v. Also, the controller low voltage cut-off would be a little too low, leaving you relying on the battery low voltage cut-off. Best off...

    Awful brakes on my ebike

    Yep, I've got threaded Suntours on mine. Although not as common nowadays, you could probably find a set of old stock at a reasonable price.

    Battery charging

    Yes, absolutely, but I'm sure owners of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 thought that they were using a product at the higher end of the market too. Battery packs are quite likely to contain Samsung SDI batteries these days. I'm not sure this is entirely true, as I believe the charger only supplies...

    Battery charging

    Yes, but for absolute safety, I would charge it in the same room as a smoke detector. Plus, it's a good idea to charge it somewhere that has little combustible material nearby, or where you can remove the battery easily to a safe place. This is not meant to strike fear into you, just remind you...

    New user - Just set up my 1500w conversion

    Unless you specifically need to remove the battery, I would get rid of any connectors, especially the Andersons (doubt they're originals anyway!) I had nothing but problems with the Anderson phase wire connections on my MAC. They can exhibit high resistance spots if not assembled correctly...

    Awful brakes on my ebike

    Two things you could try. Firstly, clean your rim and brake blocks with isopropyl alcohol, to remove any grease and contaminants. Secondly, change the blocks to a different brand. I'm not suggesting these ones exactly, and I've no idea if these are the same fitting, but you won't go wrong with...

    OOOOPS!, nearly in the Canal

    Gubbins, we could do with a guinea pig to test how waterproof electric bikes and cams are. So next time you're doing that route, maybe a little more to the right ;)

    Recommend me a new front light

    I'm really impressed with my Moon Meteor-X Auto Pro. At last a company that manufactures a bike light which ticks all the right boxes. I wouldn't hesitate to buy any of the other lights in their range.

    New user - Just set up my 1500w conversion

    Nice set-up. Couldn't see on your photo if you've fitted any torque arms. On a higher powered motor it's a must. If the axle spins in the drop-out, it could damage the wiring, or worse, cause the wheel to come off entirely. If you are going 40mph at the time.. ouch :eek:

    BMS Low Voltage Cutout

    I reckon bottom line, it's much better to set the Bafang LVC to shut the power before the battery BMS. It'll be kinder to your battery.
