Looks like the 12 to 240v investors cannot take less than 11v which means I can really make use of the full Ah available to me unless I get a voltage regulator If I can find one that works with 10v minimum then I won't need it I think .....,,

To be honest I'd rather not just wing this one and hope it works Prefer to step to 14.8v and have a voltage regulator. I'm thinking of 10a max setup I've had a little look round net. Would a 24v to 12v regulator be my best bet ? Like this http://bit.ly/NnUMLP Many thanks

afternoon all I have tons of 18650 cells at the moment and have several camping trips lined up. I also have a aluminium briefcase that used to contain a set of kitchen knives etc. My thought is to create a big mobile power pack using the 18650s with an integrated 12v car style cigarette socket...

Thanks this is very helpful test of actual output once I get it working

Ahh, finally the penny has dropped for me. No , you are missing nothing - it was me. The easy and obvious solution is just as you suggest I was totally over complicating this! Thanks

hi jhruk Thanks - not sure I explained myself very well. I undertand what you are saying - yes I can test each bank individually and esnure each is working. However , when I test the output overall I cannot be sure that both panels are feeding into it just be seeing 12v. The wiring has had...

Morning I have one of these which is faulty and the sunhine this weekend finally gave me an opportunity to diangose issue http://www.amazon.com/Sunlinq-Portable-Solar-Panel-Charger/dp/B001TI6SP8/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t It has 8 panels and is 12v and 12w. There is a 4 panel version which is 12v 6.5w...

Hi Arbol, A though occurs - whilst on heigt you are fine. 3 x 18650 cell packs laid end to end is 19.5cm in theory but in practice it will be at least another cm or 2 but the time you've finished putting weld/solders and insulating layer bewteen the cell packs.. I'd factor that in in at least...

Thanks d8veh but no BMS inside these powabyke batteries. Just Sanyo 20amp cells in 10s 3p I will test the power at the motor whilst peddling. If it is getting there all the time but no motor is engaging (or only very occasionally) then I'm guessing it's the motor brushes It no power at the...

Thanks it these are lithium bottle batteries reading 42v It's not the trike I've got for sale - that's perfect , this ones a bit of a mess !

Thanks vm

found it thanks - there are a couple of things there i have yet to try worn brushes in particular seem a possible option here - not yet tested

Hi dean This is good news for all concerned However , I do take slight umbridge at the comment that people should contact you rather than just "guessing" The fact was the phone line was repeatedly not answered and then appeared to go dead, emails went unanswered (allegedly) and companies...

Hi D8veh Thanks for reply , yes, I know they have this odd system. I keep pedalling all the time but the motor either just wont engage or only for a moment Probrably its more like 95% of time nothing at all and 5% a few seconds enagement

Thanks Trex - i did think of that but couldnt find any brake sensors on this thing I'll have another look in the daylight when i get home - as i only looked at this last niht for a while

Forgive me but those are rear aren't they ? For front is the new q100h a good choice ?

Hi all, Hoping for any ideas on a brushed 36v x24 powabyke fault. The fault is intermittent and is as follows 1. Turn key and led handlebar lights go on and nothing more occurs at all This happens 90% of time Or 2. Start pedalling and then twist throttle , motor engages but only for a 2...

Pictures to follow

Hi all I have kinda inherited a powabyke trike with sla batteries for sale It is in excellent condition having had light use only It has also been kept indoors Charger and keys present and correct ! Batteries holding good charge (but as sla cheap replacements available) £425 for collection...

There is something that doesnt quite pass the sniff test here - it was bugging me overnight so I delved a little deeper. Seems the director of Beatbikes, Mr Stephen Spratt, has a few other directorships (some disolved, some active) - http://www.ccdni.com/director-stephen-spratt-3 they are...
