    Battery advice wanted A123 pouch cells or 18650 cells

    As AK said which kit and controller ? The Samsung 22P is reasonable 10amp cell with low mah and agree that you must have given it some serious stick as they should be 90a rated in a 9P config. My crappy 4.4a 22F cells in 5P gave me 18 months good use unrestricted with 30- 45 mile range.

    Voilamart Front wheel kit

    I don't recall anyone on here giving a review of the kit. 15nm hub motor is very weedy torque wise, any hill climbing for it will be quite hard work. The kit is basic China no name stuff not for a heavy rider and best used on flatter terrain. The Elifeshop/YSBattery offerings are better and...

    New Build

    The YS Battery kit is quite good supplied with the very good KT controller kit. Though only 15a rated will be good for approx 600w max output or 500w average over the battery voltage range in assist 5, motor will get you to 23mph with good pedalling and is listed as 270 - 290 rpm but capable of...

    Long Distance Tourer?

    Best of both worlds convert a gravel bike with 42 - 47 mm tyres. You should be able to add panniers for taking your touring kit as well as a single wheel streamline trailer if needed. Definitely two batt's and chargers.

    S-LCD Repair and Waterproofing

    AK I posted on your other thread (can't remember which one) when you have asked this question previously. If I recall the separate remote button for lcd3 uses all 5 wires.

    What is the smallest battery I can use

    If they are old 2000mah lap top cells then they will be very crap and won't handle much draw, it depends on the cell in use. Voltage sag will be terrible.

    Best front torque arm?

    12 x 10 for most rear geared hubs, the exception is the 14 x10 one's that d8veh has mentioned. Bafang/8fun , Aikema, Xiongda and the Bafang copies Mxus, Yose etc etc,all use the 12 x 10 axle.

    Is Topbikekit T-06S controller same as the bmsbattery S06S

    PSWPower sell both types on their pages, sinewave sensored 6 fets and tq/sq wave unsensored 9 fets. The postage for the one you linked to is about the same give or take 1 or 2 $$. Cheapest option is $29 and PSWPower is about $30.

    Waterproofing bike wire to avoid the walk of shame

    The bath sealant above is a good idea. Like wise I use butyl sealant sometimes however the stuff I use comes in a 300ml tube for use in a std sealant gun, the product itself is very icky and sticks like s**t to a blanket as well but once it has air cured remains pliable and mouldable after...

    Gearing enquiry

    In general if the number of gears are the same then yes. You may have to adjust the cable tension in top and bottom gear though you are loosing and gaining rear ring sizes so might all pan out equal. Other wise end stops might need playing with. You will have to add a link or two to the chain...

    Is Topbikekit T-06S controller same as the bmsbattery S06S

    Enlarging pic of it is to blurred to read the label but yes it is a KT controller like the SO6S, so yes a generic relabelled customer model. Not much choice though as only 15a one available, though does have the speed limit wire if you wish to go a bit faster. The similar dual voltage ones...

    Pas sensor help please. No power arghhhhh

    With any ebike electrics you have to identify all wire sequence/order before connecting if mixing and matching. For instance Julet & Higo waterproof connectors are 100% compatible except the pins wire sequence is different, it's the same with any other matching connector like the commonly used...

    Pas sensor help please. No power arghhhhh

    Wiring order is wrong and you have a wrong wire sequence with the connection. You can't rely on the sequence being in the right order or rely on like for like colour, on both sides you need to identify 5v, Gnd & signal and connect 3 pairs correctly 5v to 5v, Gnd to Gnd & sig to sig. You will...

    Upgrade my controller?

    I use P5 & 3 for one of my dolphins and it appears to do a fairly good job of gauging battery level, I have checked the various drops as the battery bars go out with a meter and the voltage drop is fairly linear. It's trial and error so on P5 try the range 1 -12 until you find a setting you are...

    Which battery do I get?

    They are looking like a good option less cells = less weight even though a cell is a bit heavier. Less cells for more ah and a smaller pack as well. Mooch at e- cigs rates them as 16a cell.

    ebay link for red/black wire for ebike battery leads please.

    Plenty on ebay look for AWG silicone wire. 14 awg is what you need has a 32a approx load rating more then ample for most needs. 12 awg about 45a rating & 16 awg about 22a rating if you go too small then wiring gets warm/hot.
