    Best voltages and methods to cycle lithium cells between?

    Either way, voltage or using the LEDs if provided, you can choose a middle span to operate within, for example 44 volts to 51 volts, if that span gave you enough range. Im basing that on the fact that a designed BMS for your battery would have a low voltage cut-off at 40 volts, so you'd be...

    Ongoing reliability of Kalkhoff/Focus Impulse 2 motors

    I'm not so sure they were flawed components. The troublesome gear was perfectly ok in the Impulse 1. It was only the power race they entered into with the Impulse 2 that caused the problem, so phasing that power back down to more sensible levels could well be the answer. In short, it was the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    A perfect real world example Alistair, we give up some freedoms for the gains in the quality and richness of life that come with association. .

    Best voltages and methods to cycle lithium cells between?

    With the exception of the 500 charges if fully charged and discharged within the limits set by e-bike controllers and battery BMS's, these are fantasy figures. The only evidence is from satellite usage. In those only 13% of the battery content is used and then replaced in each 24 hour cycle...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Not no, yes. The facts are what I stated. I didn't assume anything, I only said it was an indication of what could happen to us. As for likelyhood, the Swiss experiences are a strong indicator. And as you Brexiters have said, David Cameron's was unable to get a good deal from the EU...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    And that's what you got. The facts were what is happening to the Swiss. It's an example and a warning of what could happen to us if we attempt the same things. N.B. Crossed with oldgroaner's post. .

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Many are rightly asking for facts instead of the inane propaganda that both sides are issuing in the EU dabate. Here for once is an actual case which includes many of the consequences that will accompany Brexit and any attempt to limit EU migration. This isn't part of the propaganda, it's...

    How's the Bank Holiday weather where you live.

    Dull and grey, not surprising since I'm on the London/East Surrey border close to your Kent border. The forecast close to here at Biggin Hill, Kent is cloud gone and clear sunshine all afternoon from 2pm. .

    Leaving the EU

    That is cloud-cuckoo land, and I have proof of that with an actual case which I will be posting shortly. The proven position is the opposite, and it is we who will have to be making concessions if we leave, should we wish to trade with the EU. Those concessions will include us fully signing up...

    Leaving the EU

    Oh dear. :( I just saw a reporter on BBC TV news ask an English Liverpool mother what she thought about the EU referendum. She looked puzzled and said she didn't know what that meant. It turned out she really didn't, apparently not having heard anything about a referendum. How can any...

    Leaving the EU

    I think returning them to the womb is beyond current medical science! :p How about this to cheer you up: As part of extending respect for the EU currency, the EU is forbidding the British to say "Spending a penny". In future they should say euronating. .

    In comparison to Prince Charles, absolutely. The Duke of Edinburgh is the best of all of them though. I bet he's a closet Brexiter! :D .

    News: ‘Twist and go’ type approval guidance emerges

    But the EU law overrides all of our regulations in this area where they conflict. Also this statement by the DfT is crucial: However, under European law new "Twist and Go" vehicles will, from January 2016, have to meet a range of technical requirements before they can be used on roads. This...

    What is the advantage of 36volt over 26volt?

    I designed and made the trailer from step ladders as said, below a photo of it carrying one of the step ladders which I stripped and used for the materials: Our area has a recycling service but all of our flats don't for complex physical reasons. The chunky attachment in some of the photos...

    What is the advantage of 36volt over 26volt?

    Home made from aluminium step ladders. Four rubber feet on the end so in the event of a puncture, loaded or not, I tipped it onto it's tailboard to drop out the offending quick-release wheel. The attachment was a car type ball joint on the rear of my bikes, so the whole trailer a completely...

    Leaving the EU

    Because a very high proportion of them, some 2.1 billions, 30% of the world's population, are Commonwealth citizens who already owe allegiance to the Queen and the United Kingdom. .
