    Are smelly li-ion batteries safe?

    Any smell is not normal, as I mentioned certainly sounds like venting electrolyte. 3 - 4 feet away from a rad should pose issue, some of my regular batt's are within 3 - 4 of a rad and GH keeps his in the airing cupboard.

    Are smelly li-ion batteries safe?

    The smell if can's is electrolyte being vented and if li-po/polymer then a burst or split cell. It would be prudent to open and check integrity of the cells inside following an impact, the likelihood of cell damage is always likely.

    With Wisper one might want to go with the basic PAS sensing over the TS version if you can"t add the effort needed.

    Battery

    Probably a re-cell using the services of ebikebatteries.co.uk, usually an increase of about 30% battery capacity for a very reasonable D2D service.

    Whyte Cambridge 2018 - Will this bottom bracket work with TongSheng TSDZ2?

    Afaik you and I are the only two who have mentioned or said this, though I may be mistaken. So many keep saying that TS is akin to a normal bike, it gets to a point that they must be thick or stupid in saying so. It gets to a point they just reprint what they believe trying to convince others...

    Whyte Cambridge 2018 - Will this bottom bracket work with TongSheng TSDZ2?

    There are torque sensor controller kits for hub motors on AliExp, BMSBattery , Woosh sell them and Wisper have TS hub bikes the theory is the same the harder you pedal the more the bike delivers. Never ridden a TS hub bike or kit so can't tell you how they ride or feel. Main issue is should a...

    What does your bike do with low battery?

    A good lcd /display will have a voltage readout for better user guidance, more accurate as a gauge then a simple battery bar indicator or led indicators. Ultimately the best option is a watt meter.

    Do I have a programming issue or do I just not like my new bafang motor!!

    Battery protection at 31v is normal for BBS 36v, leave it as is as a fail safe. The battery BMS will be set higher and will cut out before the controller does it.

    The link to the S06p uses a normal flat connector as in the Red pic/bottom pic. One should have simply ordered the lcd3 at the same time from the drop down box.

    FENETIC SPRINT EBIKE

    Your current 800 display is only 100% compatible with a Lishui controller brand, it might work with the KT controller and it may not (likely some programming will differ) Controller and displays are digital and have two way comm's between each other, items not compatible may partially work but...

    FENETIC SPRINT EBIKE

    PAS is pedal assist, it is a combination of a magnet disc and sensor head normally attached to the drive side of the Bottom bracket (behind the chain wheel/s) sometimes they are fitted on the non drive side. With the KT pairing one can add a throttle if needed (there is a spare connection for...

    Help! To sell bike or get it fixed up?

    4.5years old isn't very old and as vfr has eluded £1100 gets you a new good bike, it will boil down to funds available and how you like the current bike. The hardest part is finding someone or a shop nearby that will lace and true a dc hub motor into a rim.

    48v 11.6AH Battery high voltage Cut-off

    Em3ev is China/HK, vat and other duty will likely be added now as you will be the sole importer after tomorrow and might be a good test case for new trading rules. The Yose batteries give scant details of cell brand. Look to see what ebikebatteries.co.uk have and also enerpower in Germany.

    Downtube Baseplates

    10s 9p is heavy large battery. PF are ok for a budget 10a rated cell, life cycle isn't up there with the likes of LG cells. However the PF's I have hold the discharge really well even in PAS 5, even down at 3.5/3.6v per cell group the voltage remains very stable as does the power. LG M29 would...

    Help! To sell bike or get it fixed up?

    A new rim and spokes max £50 to buy the parts, then just needs someone to lace and true it for you, one could also speak to a Wisper dealer. Your battery will cost about £300 for it to be re-celled with likely better cells today, Jimmy at ebikebatteries.co.uk provides a D2D service and you...

    FENETIC SPRINT EBIKE

    Don't forget if you have PAS, you will need to buy a KT lcd3 or 4 display other wise you will only have throttle use. Your current display will not work with the new controller.
