Hi guys, I have a Li-on lithium battery for my Cyclamatic e-bike that seems to be playing up. I need some advise but, as I’m new to this forum, not sure if this is the correct thread to post my query on. Would it be OK to discuss here?

Hi, I have an four year old battery that has started cutting out whilst going up hills. It only works if I turn the key to off then on again. Its been fully charged up before I set out so there should be plenty of juice in it. Just in case this was an indication that the battery was nearing the end of its life, I went ahead and bought a new one and this has been charging up for at least three hours and the small LED has still not turned green (does it normally take this long to charge up a new battery? I thought they came fully charged).

Can anyone help with a cyclamatic battery pack? Have lost the two screws securing the battery switch to the case. Can anyone tell me the size of threads for these? Thanks PJK

Hi d8veh, have had the battery apart and done what you suggested with the BMS and also checked the voltage (29.3 approx) then re-assembled and tried the bike again, but it still doesnt work. Any further ideas? Charger is showing green when attached to battery, but battery c;early not fully charged, or indeed,charged at all. Is there someone called Ping that does something with/to batteries?

Thanks d8veh.

Can you send a blow by blow account of how to open up a battery? Many thanks.

Thanks for this. Sorry for the delay in replying. Find navigating around the forum confusing. Will try what has been recommended and get back.

I've had my battery on charge, on and off, all day and it's still registering nothing. its about two years old and not had heavy use. I always recharge after I've used it but have laft it standing for some months (since last Autumn) without a recharge every couple of months?(as recommended by the manufacturer on the side of the case - which I have only just read!). If its dead, is there a way to open up the case and replace the batteries inside? I'm sure I read something on Pedelecs a couple of years ago about that.

That link takes me to one that costs $169 and postage of $91, so I'm not sure where your figures are coming from. However, I have now left a message on the website re; payment methods and refund policy etc. Will let you know if I am successful finding the right battery at the right price. many thanks.

Thank you flecc. I am making some more enquiries on the website.

Thank you flecc, I have measured my battery against the ones advertised and they are different - only by 10/20 mm but as mine fits snugly onto my seat stem I'm a little concerned that the difference will mean its a no goer. FYI here are the sizes with mine in brackets; 115mm (90mm), 80mm (85mm), 385mm 365 mm

I cannot find the 10aH on the site. Would appreciate you sending a link. Thanks.

Hi d8veh, not sure me reply earlier today got sent, so here we go again...I did go to the website you posted a link to but there is postage payable on all sales. They were offering the battery for $180 but postage brought it up to just over $300 in total which is about the same price as Cyclamatic in UK ( depending on how they sort the exchange rate out).

Hi, I bought have a folding cyclamatic last year and am looking for the best price on a new battery (current one OK but I'd like a 'spare'). Sports HQ were selling them for £225 each a couple of months ago, but today when I looked on their website, the price had jumped to £299. Has anyone else noticed this big jump in price? So my question is, are there any websites selling discounted e-bike accessories?

Hi, I bought myself a new Cyclamatic a couple of months ago so now have a Powabyke (lead acid battery) for sale. I watched one being auctioned on e-bay for parts the other day. It reached £99. Any offers? I live in the Exeter area, so if you're reasonably local and can pick it up, let me know.
