As the post title says.
I last charged the Samsung 36V 21Ah battery for my ebike back in March 2022 but due to illness haven't been able to ride and it totally slipped my mind. Then today reading about increasing incidents of fires caused by dendrite build up EV car batteries I suddenly...
The walk assist speed of my Bafang C961 display is set at 6 km/h. The advanced settings in the display allow for the overall max speed limit to be set, but obviously I don't want to change this. Is there a way however to change the walk assist speed to something other than 6 km/h?
At the very risk of your uncompromising disdain and acid-tongued vitriol, I've never come across the phenomenon of contact burning – I'm just a lay person, not an engineer. What is this in the context of using and charging ebike batteries. Thanks.
Yes, I've read a little and seen microscopy videos about dendrites and the nasty after-effects, i.e. explosive fires. Since I have no option but to charge indoors this is one reason I'm a little nervous about ensuring I'm not doing anything to unnecessarily put my family in danger.
I have checked and you are all quite correct. I now have absolutely no idea whatsoever where I got the figure of 17 °C from (possibly something to do with work), but I would have sworn that's what I read! It does in fact say not to charge below 4 °C (40 °F).
With the cooler and wetter weather approaching, I (a newbie to ebikes) was looking for some help and advice on best practice for caring for batteries.
I have a bike with a Samsung Lithium-Ion 21Ah 36V 756Wh battery. The bike's user manual only says not to charge the battery below 17 °C [edit]...
The results of a recent poll on here suggested most respondents use a lock when it comes to ebike security (followed by taking the battery).
I'm wondering what type of lock or combination of locks most prefer: d-lock vs chain vs cable vs folding vs something else? I'm particularly interested in...
Hi Fara. I visited Grenoble once, when I had to go to a conference and then on to CERN, years ago. Beautiful place from what I recall.
I'm all very new to ebikes so can't really advise, however there are lot of helpful people here who hopefully can.
Impressed by your distances you travel. Ever done more than 100 miles in a day?
Is it normal for odometers on displays (Bafang C961 in my case) to differ from distance calculated on maps? The C961 data is consistently lower than a range of maps/apps.
Don't worry, Phil, I welcome everyone's input to the thread, honestly. I'm all very new to this so the convos get on to stuff I've never heard of or thought about even if most of it goes over my head!
I've had problems with my knees all my adult life, even when I was a fit slim 20-something...
