    Premature power loss in headway pack

    Ok problem solved. Turned out the controller was set to 65v cutoff because it came from a linmo2 battery. Now everything runs fine!. i'm so happy :mrgreen: Just one more question. It kind of worries me that the connectors for balance leads get pretty warm when balancing. is this normal? I...

    Premature power loss in headway pack

    i've found the problem!! its the controller itself. i've tested my system with another controller and it ran perfect. lots of continuous power! Battery was fine right from the start. I did some stupid things with this controller in the past like cutting one of the shunts to make it draw less...

    Premature power loss in headway pack

    Sorry for bordering... Turned out it is a bad connection after all... Deeply ashamed :oops: I connected the headway cells together with a threaded pin in pairs of 2 . seems like that isnt working so now i'm going to replace all connections with stainless steel rings. Should work right?

    Premature power loss in headway pack

    I posted a link in my first post and its rated for 80 amps contentiously . http://www.batterybms.com/64v20spcmbmspcbforlifepo4batterypack/PCB-D131.html Its well over spec'ed for my 45amp controller. Also I just tried the bike it without the bms and it has even more power then ever. No power...

    Premature power loss in headway pack

    I assembled the pack myself yes and i connected the cells with self made 6 gauge wire. I soldered long tips and squashed them into an O ring. Than sandpapered and cleaned them. They actually have a pretty large contact area so i guess they make good contact. And i Checked the individual cells...

    Premature power loss in headway pack

    Okay. I have this 20 cell headway battery pack with http://www.batterybms.com/64v20spcmbmspcbforlifepo4batterypack/PCB-D131.html this bms. The problem is that at full charge i've got full power out of my 45amp controller and already after a few meters the power drops substantially. The cells...

    Headway cell manufacturing dates

    Thanks for clearing this up!. I've bought the cells from a german model car company. http://shop.strato.de/epages/61333079.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61333079/Categories/%22A123-AHR32113M1-AMP20-HEADWAY%2038120%20HEADWAY%2040160%22 Cells all read 3.33v so i guess they're okay for now.

    Headway cell manufacturing dates

    I ordered 20 headway 40152 s cells and i noticed there is a date on them that says 13-09-05. Does this mean the cells are almost 9 years old? And don't these cells have expiration dates?

    Charging a 28v lithium pack with a 42v/36v charger bad?

    How can i put an s3 pack in series with an s4 pack? That would be even more useless... Or i have to rebuild both packs to 3s which might not be bad idea but an insane amount of work.. And sorry for not having another $400 for a new pack laying around...

    Charging a 28v lithium pack with a 42v/36v charger bad?

    I found out the problem off all the death cells! its the frikin bms that some how discharges my cells at the 3th balance lead. I just managed to save another cell by disconnecting the balance wires. All the cells that are death now were on the 3th balance wire. The cell was reading 2.7 when i...

    Charging a 28v lithium pack with a 42v/36v charger bad?

    The 1st death cell (the one that died a year ago) is completely death reading 0.0v and the other one 0.6v So I think its safe to assume they are death. And yes I measured them directly on the cells itself. And the cells died just like that in a matter of days. I have a cycle annalist so i can...
