I don't think I measured it on the charging port. I read in another topic how was setup the Max ports and my understanding was that : The charging one is the 3+4 The descharing one is the 2+5 I guess that the 1 & 6 are not used Therefore, I measured it in the 2+5.

Hi there, Thanks a lot for all that information. I better understand now why it's possible to get 15km range for a battery claimed as a 20-30km one. I finally bought a voltmeter and tested the battery output. The result is strange with voltage fluctuating from 33 to 39V. Isn't it supposed to be steady ? You can see a video here. I tested with other batteries and I even changed the cables to be sure that the voltmeter wasn't the issue. For now, my wife is able to do her 20km run with a 1/5 PAS but I would be curious to know why I get fluctuating voltage from the MAX battery and if that could be an issue (or if I'm not the one doing something wrong when measuring it). Thanks. Alex.

Hi Saneagle, It has almost no mileage. My wife started to use in December @+-50 miles a week. It worked well the two first weeks and started to bug last week. I haven't any technical abilities in that field but I'll try to keep it charged the full night and check the volage with a friend's voltmeter. Thanks for the tips.

Hi there, I've an issue with my kit and I gave up with the Swytch Support, which is amazingly inefficient. I can't believe it, they are close to psychological harassment with their techs almost as bad as their AI agents asking me over and over again the same things without answering my questions. My wife bought a Max kit in September (no throttle installed). That was working fine the first weeks, and it suddenly started to lose power after 15km. I did all the tests asked by the support, rechecked the câbles, the wheels, reset the controller and everything is fine. A typical ride now looks like that : Full charge, 10km to work, arrive with 4 power bars remaining (60% power limit setting with a 3/5 PAS) On the way back, after 5km, it suddenly drops to 1 power bar, the motor runs on & off and she may end the trip without assistance The battery is fully recharged in the evening and it's the same the next day That ride is not steep, no wind, good weather, 5 degrees. We have a friend with the same kit that does the same ride. He has no problems to come back, with 2 power bars remaining at the end of the day. I couldn't even get an answer from Swytch about if that's a normal behavior for a new kit or if it's an issue. So I ask it here, do you think that's an issue and if you do, what could be the root-cause ? The controller and/or the battery ? For now, we bought an expensive Swytch charger and she charges her battery at the office but I would like to understand that issue and maybe fix it. Thanks.

Yes, I got lost in the forum with so many information. It may be indeed a better idea to get the full KT kit if forcing the Swytch PAS and sensor could be that complicate. I'll think about that. Thanks.

Hi there, Thanks for the details about the 17a controller. That would be enough for my usage. About the PAS, it's just that the current one is working and I've two other new ones sleeping in my closet. By tinkering, I meant having to change connectors myself, welding and stuff like that. Playing with the components and searching for the proper settings would be fine. Regards. Alex.

Hi there, Me too I'm fed up with Switch AI support and I'm considering to upgrade my old gen2 kit with KT components. However, there are so much information about it in that forum that I'm getting lost. My few main questions would : Do I need to order a KT 500W Controller - 36/48V 22A only or 17A would be enough (I'm a complete electric newbie) Could I use the Swytch left side 12 PAS sensor with the KT controller ? (plug and play, no tinkering) Would I have to use one of the two sets of parameters presented in that post and pif, it's working or would it be difficult to properly set it up ? I like the idea to go to a DIY solution but I've played enough with my Swytch kit, trying to keep it alive and constantly wondering why it's not working properly so I would like the easiest set up to install. Thanks.
