    Anyone use AliExpress regularly, what's your thoughts please?

    In the whole not a lot has changed except added vat at the point of sale. My last buy has just arrived, despite the seller saying 45-60 days it arrived today of all days via RM and in 14 days. A new fan cooled dedicated 12s 3a lion charger and the price was marked as $8 for my £15 charger.

    High and low brake

    No it is simply the voltage supply to the brake sensor, 5v = low brake for hall sensors.

    Bafang BBS02 vibrations under load

    This graph shows the curve drop off dependant on the current draw of the cells. At low current draw one can see there is little point going below 3.3v as there is hardly anything left regarding mah. If using the full 25a BBS02 draw then going down to 3v - 3.1v per cell for lvc will hasten it's...

    JST / SM / DJ connector sources

    He hasn't got julet cable ends so not much use him unless he is going in for major soldering on both sides of the wiring, he has got block connector's.

    Question about scooter/hoverboard batteries and charging when there is only discharge connections

    5.2a then is very much likely as I suspected will be a Sam 26F type cell or a J cell.

    Bafang BBS02 vibrations under load

    What cells is one using for this 14s battery ?

    Bafang BBS02 vibrations under load

    Tbh 3v per cell is a bit too deep for my liking for cell dischage using a bms , a bms may or may not like the low voltage. One is best imho in using 3.2v as min discharge figure but that is my view and what I use. It is a different story if one is using manual balancing or a balance charger sans...

    Question about scooter/hoverboard batteries and charging when there is only discharge connections

    Out of the 4 packs available only one cell is rated for the 20a discharge and that is the so called HG2 pack, the other three are only a max 10a discharge and all will use a 5a cell. Panny ncr18650b are only 5a rated, the risk in useing them is far greater due to the cheap price nature and one...

    Question about scooter/hoverboard batteries and charging when there is only discharge connections

    The only thing wrong with those liitokala's are the cells they can't be genuine or new ones, the price just doesn't add up. For instance the LG hg2 pack though the specs are correct 20 cells for 6000mah for 10s 2p, £36 quid isn't a price I would jump up esp as the price of a BMS is included...

    Question about scooter/hoverboard batteries and charging when there is only discharge connections

    A two wire generic common port charge/discharge lead won't need a special charger so using a generic 2a one is fine. I would make up/solder a very short charge lead with xt60 male and a connector on the other end to suit the charger, 5.5 x2.1 are one of the most common types used. I don't see...

    Question about scooter/hoverboard batteries and charging when there is only discharge connections

    With diy batteries one would use the same connector type. A multi pin battery may be different and a generic charger may not work.

    Bbs01b died or so it seems

    it is at least 1v low if 40.6 is the full charge, it could mean that whilst 9 cell groups may be sitting at 4.16v - 4.2v. The tenth one may only be at 3.2v or so, that lost 1v is highly critical. The battery will need opening and some cell voltgae readins taken to see if the issue lies witha low...

    LVC = low voltage cut off.

    Question about scooter/hoverboard batteries and charging when there is only discharge connections

    They will use a common port BMS which as it says uses the same port for both charge and discharge, one can buy them for ebike batteries as well. Common port charging allow for higher amperage charging as well (if the cells can take it). The incoming current will use a seperate path for charging...

    JST / SM / DJ connector sources

    The sma's are made by jst company china, ebay or various such sites should sell them. The dj7061 is an automotive connector again commonly used on ebikes again one just has to search for them. cost about £2 - £3 each. Chop the bullets off and solder an xt30 or xt60 on instead.

    Solar trailer rides again!

    That is very good to hear Matt, the driver should receive a " without due care and attention for that " I some how though don't think he will get away with just 3 points and a fine, he will be lucky to get away with 5 points on his licence. There was no need for them to do that to you and I bet...

    Bbs01b died or so it seems

    40.6v isn't very healthy, most likely an issue there somewhere. One suspects a low cells group that crashes or is near the lvc so can't take much load and and sags suddenly.
