    "Cheating"

    Well I had a very positive encounter today with a fully lycra clad roadie. I passed him and then he tuck right in behind me for about 2 miles until i got to a traffic light. He came next to me and asked about the bike. When I told him it was electric he laughed and said thank god for that He...

    Wireless charging (a proof of concept type thing )

    *please do move to technical moderators if you prefer * On a different thread I got discussing possibility of wirless charging a 11.1v booster battery made of 18 x 18650 cells in 3s 6p I decided. see if it worked on 1s 6p (one 3.6v pack of 6 cells of about 1800mah each). I do totally see this...

    Wireless charging - particularly booster packs or headlight packs

    Wellthere are a couple of problems with my idea ! 1.) seems geebee is correct. The powermat acts as a psu, specifically as USB psu and not a charger I.e will not itself cease charging. Which leads to problem 2 2) the output from the induction is coils is USB level I.e 5v not the requesite 4.2v...

    "Cheating"

    Wireless charging - particularly booster packs or headlight packs

    It's smart / charger - it won't over charge a cell or device and stops transmitting when full http://www.duracellpowermat.com/powermat

    Charging Headway battery using Accucell 6

    I'm still confused by this - Jerry's problem / common issue does not explain it. It would not work regardless of amps being delivered. Unless anyone else can say otherwise ? It remains a head scratcher ! c

    Wireless charging - particularly booster packs or headlight packs

    Powermat wireless charging matts are now ridiculously cheap. I paid 7.99 delivered for a mat that can charge 3 devices at once and a universal receiver coil. I also then paid 99p for an old ipod touch receiver case as well. I stripped the induction coil out of the iPod case and wired it to a...

    Charging Headway battery using Accucell 6

    That's very odd I get this error if I try to charge using a combo of amps/volts that goes beyond the ability of the psu to supply it Could it be a settings issue relating to the voltage difference between lifepo4 and other lithium ? Not quite sure what you mean by self checking ? Do you...

    silly question?

    Noisy motor with ku65 controller.

    I found my 8fun 36v motor runs noisier on a ku65 at 36v than the stock controller However the ku65 does run faster at around 17/18mph hot off the charger( when unrestricted) and has a higher amp rating so maybe that's a part of it I then run the setup at 48v most of the time and have done...
