    Stripping a battery to test it

    Hi folks, I have a couple of 36v batteries which are not performing well. I’ve seen a few threads on testing each cell group to see if it’s one cell or group that’s the problem. I’m happy stripping the battery and testing it. My question is how do I re-wrap it if / when I’ve fixed the problem...

    Lithium-ion blaze aboard ship - specialist crews en route

    Cargo is electric cars not E-bikes but it's a harsh example of what can go wrong when you have a lot of high capacity batteries in one place. Scary stuff https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/cargo-ship-carrying-cars-us-catches-fire-adrift-atlantic-crew-rcna16675 :oops:

    KT controller - throttle is stronger than PAS ?

    Hi folks, I'm starting to get used to the KT setup I recently fitted and have noticed the throttle gives more assist than pedals. Settings are P4=0, C4=4 so the throttle should match pedal assist level, it's similar but throttle is maybe 20% stronger in all levels. It's very noticable when using...

    Suggestions please, how to modify a 26" kit to suit a 29er bike ?

    Kemp Starley Dutch Town Bike - out of hibernation.
