Yes, the smoke/fumes will kill you while a sleep should something go awry. One should only charge when an eye can be kept on them for safety's sake.

One only needs anormal bike chain for BBS01 ic an be a 7 - 10spd or even a 1/8th chain hub gear type chain, it doesn't have to be anything special.

Problem is it puts folks off when thread go way off tangent with nonsense. Then we start to loose some good knowledgable posters or they don't bother to post much. I only have one person on ignore.

I have used your tip and placed a wrap of amalgam tape to the frame first then the P clip over it, also I went with your other tip and have insatlled a new rectangular hollow section bar with a 30mm x 12mm section.

Matt did have some advise on panels which to buy so I will have to see if I can find the info, it may have been on his earlier solo trip to the land of the leeks and daffodils. Storge batteries are expensive so the more ah the better if going down that route, I have seen bolt together 3.3v...

Use a gps to see how correct the display reading is.

Apart from cost it appears pretty simple a decent size PV panel of what ever wattage 180 - 300w, a mppt variable/adjustable solar boost charge controller suitable for up to 60v and a bit of wiring and one could be away. Static or on the move it is wholly acheivable. The addition of an...

If you get time when your trip is done, may be Matt you can give some insight on the new thread I posted regarding solar charging systems for ebike batteries. As your trip usage has peaked my interest in to alternative charging of said batteries along with Wheezy's usage. It appears from your...

Your thread has rekindled my thoughts of camrera's on my bikes seeing that highly dnagerous pass you had. I have two cheap bullet ones which I have got the date/time stamp correct and they at least manage my 11 miles route to the bees with my trailer, I have placed a mount permanently on my...

Desolder the sense wires from the battery it self or cut one at time as near to the battey cells as poss.

Cut or desolder the Black negative wires one at a time and tape the end up. The positves all eminate direct off the battery cell group #13 and the cell groups. One thick wire is for the discharge connector , another for the charge connector.

So here goes I would be interested in the idea of setting up a solar charging system for an ebike battery or two, might be pretty useful on the sunnier days. Wheezy menioned it on the thread of " Battery charging - cost of". Also with Matthew slacks 30 odd day tour of Scotland with his solar...

Wheezy start a new thread regarding what is required, parts needed etc and recommended parts for a solar charge set up for ebike batteries. I know for sure it would interest me and what with matts solar trailer ride, it may peak interest for a few others to have ago. As long as Guerney can...

I remember as a kid in the 70's trying to ride, then end up walking up Titsey going to Biggin aerodrome, mega fun coming down though. In those days I don't think the brakes would ever of stopped us and just hoped nothing was coming out of the turning on the lhs at the bottom.

Yep your battery is toast as SW has put it, as expected the liitokala's for there very cheap price use very suspect cells or very poor BMS. I would say you got your moneys worth but it is a price not worth paying. Cell group #3 & #4 have bit the dust. The battery is only fit for recycling, if...

The spoke flange arrangement is unsual not seen that on a hub motor before.

Phew a bit of relief for now, hopefully a one off. With a simple generic set up one would say the issue would be a simple one, but having the wiring extension one can only assume a comm's issue via the CANbus system. The bike has had a tumble so if not due to a very low battery could simply be...

It may just be sticky pawls on the freewheel end so one can try dripping some ATF or light gear oil to see if they loosen up. Some times cable adjustment can be an issue so check the yellow marks meet when in 1:1 gear so 4 th or 5th gear. It really depends on the exact model for more advice...

Sounds like the hub whether a nexus8 or Alfine8 needs a service, They are servicable by the competant diyer with the right tools but is probably better having a LBS familiar with them to have it serviced. It depends on the model as to whether which type of pawls or clutch type is sued...

P2 needs to value 1.
