    Can this battery be revived?

    I suspect what you refer to as a 'charger' is in reality just a 5V power supply. How can that power supply, on its own, 'charge' a Lithium battery properly ?

    Connecting identical packs in parallel with a single BMS

    Agreed. I have two batteries for my eBike, to parallel them up would be daft in my view, so many advantages in having two seperate batteries.....................

    5 years for death by dangerous driving

    So the 'plan' is only to ban him from driving for one year after release. There surely has to be a case for driving bans to be very much longer in such cases, like a lifetime ban maybe.

    Ebike display

    If you actually want help, do you think it might be helpful to provide information on the details of the conversion kit you bought and the bike you are attempting to fit it to ?

    Livall's venture, their Pikaboost ?

    Agreed, I still get battery contact issues with torches etc, so I presume that problem has not gone away. So what possible invention have Licvall invented ?

    Livall's venture, their Pikaboost ?

    So unless the product is fake, they appear to have found a way of contructing the battery pack and contacts in such a way that the 'self replaceable battery' is possible and maybe, just maybe, reliable. I understand the general skepticism about spring loaded battery contacts, I too have many...

    Livall's venture, their Pikaboost ?

    Cue the enquires on forums like this; "I am sure there is only one faulty battery, how do I check ?"

    Livall's venture, their Pikaboost ?

    Two holders of 9, and the commentry does say the battery 'contains 18 lithium batteries' 2 x 9 = 18

    Livall's venture, their Pikaboost ?

    If the way the batteries are 'replaced' in the Video is not accurate, then in the UK at least that would likely be missleading advertising. But the other obvious bit, how would the connections for a BMS work ? Looks like a 6 sets of 3 in parallel ..............

    Livall's venture, their Pikaboost ?

    Watch the Video, no evidence at all of screw-on contacts. The batteries are shown just being put in the holder\seperator and the top clipped on. No screws visible. And the clip on top does suggest something else is missing .........

    Livall's venture, their Pikaboost ?

    You would imagine not very well. But if the basic idea, some sort of surface contact, is flawed then you wonder how its got past even the most basic of tests.

    Livall's venture, their Pikaboost ?

    Looks like the battery pack is super easy for users to take apart and replace worn cells, a bit like replacing batteries in a radio etc. Has this been done before on an eBike battery ?

    Damn pedestrians using the cycle crossing!

    Confused loyalties, I am English by birth, but do support Wales. The centre of Cardiff has become a fair bit more dangerous for pedestrians recently, large areas where you used to walk have been taken over by those wooden cabins selling stuff. There is very little room left for pedestrians...

    Damn pedestrians using the cycle crossing!

    Taffs Mead Embankment, Cardiff. At the end of the road is the Millenium Stadium, where Wales play Argentina tommorow. Saw several of the Argentina players wandering around in town midday.

    Why car drivers DO NOT see cyclists

    Omitting 'vast' and just saying 'the majority' might have been more balanced.

    Why car drivers DO NOT see cyclists

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-63492215 According the the survey that Panorama did; "one in three drivers think cyclists shouldn’t be on the road at all" "one in four admitted deliberately driving too close to them" So one might assume from that a minimum of 25% of drivers are not...
