The reason I dump them in a bucket of water is to kill them and 100% reduce shorting from causing a fire. Simply taking them to a recycling centre dosen't render them safe, esp with the handling they are likely to receive when there. Simply piling them in to a bin with other batteries would not...

Yes, correct.

One expects it is programmed to conform legally to uk regs of 6kmh walk assist limit. The eu itself do not allow throttles.

It's not clear the exact position of the damage, is between the hub axle and motor cable connector or the other side of the motor connector ? If the former then one should be able to cut the outer Black sheath to expose the wiring to see if it is just one or more then one wire damaged. If only...

If the motor cable damage is near the axle then repair is tricky. It really depends on the position, show us a pic.

The springs one refers to are part of the tension system on the QR axle, the conical spring sits pointy end in on each side.

A couple of memebrs have successfully used KT controllers with the HESC hub, one might want to opt for 22a 9 mosfet KT controller. As for brake sensors they aren't needed with KT contorollers unless of course one is using a throttle, in which case one sensor should be used. The hesc hu wiring...

Throttle on ebikes like pas & spd sensor use a Hall sensor that need three wires. The Hall needs to see 4.5 -5v so needs the Gnd and 5v wire, inoperation it needs to see low voltage or a pull down voltage, typically approx.1v so this is where the signal wire comes in against the gnd, so gnd...

A driver of a Range Rover has been fined over £1100 and 3 points on his licence after going to court. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/cars/news/driver-ordered-to-pay-1-100-and-given-points-for-overtaking-cyclist-too-closely/ar-AAZH0kK?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=c0b81feb516a41a1828bc27efef30bad

Bafang mid drive brake sensors aren't compatible with KT or other controllers, the pin out sequence at the higo connector are not the same as Julet connections used on non Bafang controllers.

My KT 6 mosft 20a controller use to get so hot I couldn't touch it, it was hotter then a baked spud. Eventually the mosfet will overheat and thermally cut out an electrical short, once it has cooled it will operate again but will be weakened. The likelyhood of future issues will occur and likely...

Before even getting too involved, write down the 14 cell group voltages to see if it is worth the effort. The battery if wildly out of balance certainly won't it self stand a chance of balancing it self without manual intervention.

For lipo/ pouch celsl I lob them in the general rubbish once I get a 0v reading . Sadly the recycling is very poor and afaict it simply doesn't occur.

Controllers usually need airflow or a heatsink to help cooling, other wise yes if placed in a bag with no air flow heat will buid up. In the past I have made airholes if I place controller in a bag or I opt to use a larger controller for heat dispersion. The small KT 6 fet controllers do get...

As mentioned it's isn't hard if one does it correctly and methodically. Never connect the BMS sense connector until all soldering is finished and one has double checked the voltage increase is correct, other wise if incorrect one will blow the BMS. The sense wires connector has B0/B- marked on...

I lob them in a bucket of water to die, then take them around to the outlaws shop/business where they get paid by weight for scrap batteries.

Too early for me to give much feed back about reliability of tsdz2, my one is fitted to a kona ute longtail cargo bike and is used for toing a trailer as well with 2 x 9 gearing . On ES forum someone has 30k miles so they say on a tsdz2 with no issues.

P1 depends on the internal gearing reduction used, one assumes 4.4 x motor winding magnets 20 ? This would give a figure of approx. 88, the input value correlates with the odo speed reading which one can varify with a GPS for accuracy. Adj the numeric value down if reading is to high or upif...

Funially enough whilst on his touring hoiliday in France today, a new kid on the block took a leaf out of Geraint's book and blasted up Alpe d'huez as if out on a sunday jaunt.

Without balancing attached one always risks an unbalanced battery unless one has the option to keep an eye on any cell drift. On could attach a seperate set of balance wires with jst and route to the pack exterior for manual checking.
