    8fun conversion kit

    Oh , I ended soldering my throttle directly - the connector was bit rubbish Have you tested it ? Ie know for sure the throttle is gone rather than just bad connection ?

    Building a battery with 18650 cells

    That's right - I solder the cells. Quite often I'm soldering pairs of 18650 which still have spot welded strips on them - easier than soldering directly My understanding is that prolonged heat exposure damages them. A higher wattage soldering iron reaches temperature much faster and so you need...

    Building a battery with 18650 cells

    I bought a 7.4v booster pack from these seller about a year ago The cells were supposed to be Panasonic cgr18650ch They appeared to be so as well. All I can say is they packed up in a couple of weeks. They were treated well and had a lipo alarm etc I suspect they were fakes Since then I got...

    8fun conversion kit

    You'll need a multimeter to check voltages -I never owned one before I got the same kit you have Invaluable tool less than a tenner on eBay or under 20 from halfords/maplins etc Start with the battery and test for voltage there. If not at 42v or close to then it's not getting charged which...

    Modular battery system

    Finally got to test the Mistral and the modular battery system Hooked up 4 homemade packs ( 3 x 11.1v and 1 x 7.4v) to the homemade sieries harness. This is hacked into the top half of the battery . Once the bike gets home (7 miles away from my work) I can dispense with this. I couldnt work...

    Battery revival - how low is too low

    You got it ! Still a good learn for me The BMS is a little strange - maybe in two parts ? There is a PCb sitting on top of the bottom 5 cells and the main BMS with balance leads etc at the top of the whole pack Do you know what this extra PCb is ? Sorry no photo at the moment

    Battery revival - how low is too low

    flecc and d8veh have turned out to be spot on Who'd have thunk it eh :) ! The pack held 41.5v and managed about 300 yards before going too low and LVC kicks in. Give it a few minutes rest and it bounces back to 40v Guess some or all cells are knackered and cannot take any load Maybe I can...

    Modular battery system

    Afternoon all I've made 4 x 11.1v packs from scavenged 18650 cells. They are complete with balance leads, xt60 connectors and lipo alarms. They are all between 11 and 13ah packs. I also have a 7.4v pack. Five packs in total then but loads more cells if I wish r more I use one at a time as a...

    charger for ZIPPY Flightmax 8000mAh 6S1P 30C

    Sorry Arbol - outta my sphere of know how ! I have a b6 but I just have a bog standard 5a power supply I found in a charity shop More power is better as whilst I can charge a 3.7v cell at 5amps I mostly use it to charge 11.1v booster packs. And it tops out at 2.3a due to weak supply

    charger for ZIPPY Flightmax 8000mAh 6S1P 30C

    You can select the amps with which you want to charge - I think the b6 goes as low as 0.3a or high as 6a
