    Ping batteries

    That’s a nice and neat case Beeps, and Dan, it’s important to have a fuse, there’s a lot of power in batteries, even when flat, a short can cause a serious fire and even serious burns, so fit a fuse. Michael.

    Ping batteries

    Have had my ping 36 volt 16 AH battery since June this year, have only done approx 700 mile and it’s still going strong, a long way to catch Beeps or Nick or some of the other forum members. I use it on my Ezee Forza, and the maximum distance covered on one charge was 48 mile, and it still...

    Ping re-celling There is only one way to find out if Ping can re-cell an eZee battery by sending Mr Ping an e mail, he’s pretty good at answering, and I would not he surprised if he’s been asked this question before. Postage will be considerable cost and it may be cheaper to by a new eZee...

    My new bike with Currie kit installed.

    Hi Andy, I’ve had a Currie electro drive for three years and its now on it’s second bike, and found it very powerful but as Flecc mentions it’s noisy, very noisy. Getting spares is a problem, especially the thumb throttle, I am on my third, and in the end had to make one using a 5K...

    My new Ping Battery

    Thanks Rog for the help. Had the battery on charge last night and has now 44 volts. Had to put two 25 volt 50 watt bulbs in series across the terminals to get the voltage down to 41 volt. The BMS has little red led lights that stayed on after removing the charger, and then they started...

    Thanks Tiberius, Rog and Torrent 99 for the encouraging replies. There are four wires entering the battery, two are red and appear to be the wires to the motor / controller, whilst the other blue and black are for charging. My volt meter reads zero. Not a flicker of voltage. I sent a e...
