    Set up an imax b6 to single cell charge a Ping

    Thanks for your help. I am using the life part of menu .The on screen voltage is 3.6 so its never going to charge to 3.65 . I believe Ping manages a higher capacity because their balancers are efficient enough to protect cells but Ping told me to charge at 37v or 38v to reach capacity when I...

    Help needed in Yorkshire

    Great sugestion. This needs looking at but the guy doesn't know what he's doing. He tells me he's tried randomly replacing parts,he imported from a scrap bike. He can barely use a multimeter. He did order some new cells but I suspect he will wreck them if the original problem is not sorted.

    You said earlier that you would have a look at the bike if he could get it to you. Are you withdrawing the offer? If its a question of getting some technical information. They have a web site and Im sure they would provide information. He is quite desperate to get someone to help him.

    Any limitations on kit options for this donor bike ?

    I don't believe ANY ebike can do that range over that terrain for very long. I think you need to find a way to charge before your return because its going to cut your costs by about a third. You will also need to leave a charger at either end of the journey as they don't travel well. You also...
