    How hard can it be?

    I can't send the video but didn't realize what the display was telling me. When the battery is on and the display pressed it show 8h and a flashing carlike engine management symbol. Someone on Facebook and another site online said this is an error code for hall sensor. Any thoughts?

    Dillenger 1000w hub

    Hello again Nealh! It's fully charged. I can't make this out. The instructions say the brake sensors don't need to be fitted for everything to work, but I ve just watched a YouTube video of someone with a dillenger kit not having magnets on the levers. Then his mate put it near lever and...

    Dillenger 1000w hub

    Hi, can't get my newly installed kit to work. Throttle doesn't work. Haven't ridden it because l ve contacted the supplier. Only clue is when l turn display on, it lights everything up then goes to a battery symbol with no bars in it flashing, and a carlike engine management light flashing in...

    How hard can it be?

    Hello again, so put my project on hold and bought a dillenger 1000w hub kit so l can ride something. I ve been thorough and l can make it do anything. I haven't ridden it at all, because l assumed l turn battery on, press bar switch and press thumb throttle and bingo. Nothing. I ve checked...

    Battery amps

    Hi nealh, thanks for reading. So like a car, the battery pack would draw most current on climbs, starting off etc? What amps would it draw flat out? Impossible to say?

    Battery amps

    Hi, had a few questions answered so thanks for that. I understand the fundamentals of battery building but here's another one that l want to grasp. An 18650 cell for example has a spec of 3000mah and a continuous discharge of say 10. So if it's made into a pack of 5p it becomes a 15ah battery...

    Yes that was my understanding of it. BMS built-in or charger that balances

    Thanks for the confusion. Balance leads to what? I ve been told a BMS will protect the battery and get a cheap charger

    Thanks for the advice. You've lost me on the last section. I know the fundamentals of it all. I ve just discharged a simple 5s on my clone b6 and that seems ok. Doesn't want to know when charging though. So my cheap batteries are crap or something wrong with charger. Think that's made me go for...

    Ok l see. I assume lipos have a BMS so didn't know why they had balance leads hanging out. Why don't they when you're told to be careful with them.

    Forgive my lack of knowledge. So a lipo would have a BMS, with the leads on show. So surely they would be plugged into a charger?

    Yes l ve just read up on this charger. I do have uses for it so it wouldn't be a waste of money. What l don't understand is how a basic charger works with a battery with BMS which has been recommended. Can you still plug the balance leads in? Getting confused here

    Batteries

    I think l ve found the charger Hi, think l ve looked up this charger correctly. So what type of connector does a battery need to fit this? All good research!

    Batteries

    I didn't realize but it said on top line confirmation 5s and 6s so not a match. I checked the connections again so either it doesn't recognize a 6s or something faulty. Could be anything l m doing wrong . What is a recommended charger if l try and build a battery with a BMS? I like a challenge...

    Batteries

    Hello, been on and off a year trying to build battery packs. I don't intend to burn my shed down so just experimental with cheap batteries. I ve a b6 cloned charger which seems to work. My immediate problem is l ve made a simple 2s battery with balance leads and it discharged and charged ok. I...

    Beginners guide to batteries

    New question in my quest for knowledge. I discharged 5 cells and the average was 1015. Only 30 mah between highest and lowest. So put them together as 5p cell. Charged it and discharged it and only got 3717 mah. Just the cells being crap, or charger getting bored?
