Thanks I agree. I presume this extract from the "blurb" ● The product is suitable for 3.7V lithium series multi-platform, 3 string, 4 string, 5 string, 6 string, 7 string and 8 string 9 string 10 string 11 string 12 string 13 string 14 string 15 string - which could be written in double Swahili as far as I'm concerned - means it's OK for my battery as you said. I ask only because it stresses how suitable it is for lead/acid batteries. Thanks again. Dawes 700.

Thanks. At £1.99 I can even afford to mess it up. On a more serious note the green&black wires from the controller connects to the red&black from the voltmeter I assume, but where does the yellow go to? I don't understand the wiring diagram in the 'blurb.' Thanks again. Dawes 700.

Can anybody recommend a combined thumb throttle (left hand pref) and battery condition indicator. At the moment I've got an On/Off switch and a thumb throttle. Indicator lights have failed. Nothing else, pedelecs, brake cut-outs are connected. The kit is an Alien Ocean front wheel 36v conversion. I'm looking for something with the plugs/sockets already fitted as I don't feel confident enough to cut existing fine wires and re-solder. Relevant part of wiring diagram below, - if it's legible! Thanks, ijn advance. Dawes 700

I agree, although I've already pushed, pulled, tugged and wiggled everything in sight. If I do sort it I'll let you know. Thanks again, Dawes 700

The cells used by BGA were Boston Power cells Dawes 700.

See my reply to d8veh. Thanks d8veh I thought, what a good idea, went out yesterday with a voltmeter did about 16 miles, never missed a beat. Damn! I'll get back if/when it happens next. Dawes 700

Hi d8veh I used the term ignition switch as a sort of layman's description for the key operated lock/switch on the side/end of the battery. No, the throttle doesn't have lights and the on/off lights gizmo failed about 6 months ago, so I substituted a simple handle bar mounted on/off switch. PS. Came home bike not having been touched for about 4 hours, switched on - it works but presumably - as previous experiences show - won't last. Dawes 700.

Recently on a 20 mile ride the motor cut out about 5 times but restarted if I switch the 'ignition' key on and off. Checked for loose connections etc and found one I suspected might be dodgy. Soldered, reassembled but same fault. Thinking maybe a faulty 'ignition switch' I bridged the switch, tried this morning, failed after 2 miles and wouldn't restart at all. The electrics are an Alien Ocean front wheel conversion kit about 5 years old. Only an on/off switch and the throttle are connected, no pedelecs, no brake lever cut offs - nothing. The battery was upgraded to 36v 15Ah by Jimmy at BGA in Nov. 2016. Fully charged it puts out 41.2 It's this type of battery although I suspect it's irrelevant Any ideas, suggestions, help, gratefully received. Dawes 700

Decided to abandon sophistication, just bridged red and blue. Works a treat! Thanks again.

d8veh, Thanks for rapid response. Have I got this right? If I simply connect the red and blue that used to go to the meter, then when I switch the battery on, (it's key operated,) nothing will happen until I operated the throttle, with then acts as an accelerator does on an automatic car. If I've got the wrong end of the stick (I'm not much of a technician) then I do understand about putting red and blue through an ON/OFF switch. Thanks again, Dawes 700

In the last 10 days I've lost power 3 times. Having checked for loose/bad connections - couldn't find anything, I think the fault is the King Meter itself. It can't be switched back on unless I press and hold the ON/OFF button for about 5 secs. Before a simple press was all it needed. Logic says it'll go wrong permanently one of these days so buy a new one now. They're easily obtainable from Alibaba, Aliexpress,etc , but in wholesale packs of 50's etc. Question, Anyone else had this problem but sorted it out? Question, Anyone know a stockist preferably UK where I can get a new one without exorbitant shipping costs. Question, Is there another make that performs the same function and is readily available? Mine is one of the earlier ones before a light button was incorporated. RIGHT CLICK HERE Thanks in advance - hopefully! Dawes 700.

For reasons I can't figure only a bit of my first post 'got through' Here's the full original:- Following up on a telephone conversation to BGA Re-Working (link picked up on this forum*) I recently sent my battery to them. * Thanks Fordulike. 'We'll have a look at it and do as little as possible to sort it out!' Day 1. They send a courier to collect. Day 3. I get an email with a technical report about my battery, which I don't understand, but I can understand:- 'Your existing cells are in perfect balance, so there's no remedial action we can take, they've just had it ' They suggest re-cell and recommend an upgrade from 10Ah to 15Ah. Day 4. I tell them to go ahead and arrange payment. Day 6. I get another technical email containing test results of my new battery. The only bit I understand is that all connections have been made using copper welding, which is technically superior. Day 7. Their courier delivers my battery. There's a weekend involved in all of this. Total cost about the same as a 36V x 10Ah from China. Tel: 020 8361 1790. Email. info@bga-reworking.co.uk Mary will probably answer the telephone and you need a chat with Jimmy. I've no connection with them, just a highly satisfied customer. ANY COMPLAINTS? Oh yes, I forgot. Since I got the battery back the weather's been rubbish and I haven't been out! 1 of 10 Inbox x Graham Fardon <gfardon@gmail.com> 09:52 (2 hours ago) to me Following up on a telephone conversation to BGA Re-Working (link picked up on this forum*) I recently sent my battery to them. * Thanks Fordulike.

Thanks. I'm going to Nottingham later this month and will go and see them. Dawes 700.

Thanks for that. I've spoken to Jimmy and, as you say "he's yer man." Dwes 700

I bought an Alien Ocean conversion kit for my Dawes Galaxy following 2 replacement knees. Simple question. I now need to replace the battery - 36v 10Ah, and have found several under the Ali Express banner. What effect, or damage would result from replacing with 36v 12Ah or even 15Ah please? I'm pretty sure, but not certain that the motor is 250 watt. Thanks. .
