Thank you so much... new socket is coming, but got spare charger as well, we'll see what happens with new socket/fuse

It got colder here in Chicago recently, maybe condensation from keeping charger in garage?

N/M found exactly same socket with fuse on eBay 😃but why did it fry is the question... Battery seems fine...

Hi, my charger plugvburnt up some, took it apart and everything else looks in good shape except for cord recepticle/fuse housing. My question is how would i wire this if i wanted to try to attach another plug to see if it works i am fair with electrical stuff but this has me stymied. I assume...

Anyone know which is the correct phase angle for the Cyclone 1800-3000 watt motor, bought from Luna about 4 months ago. It should be either 60 or 120 degrees. I have heard it could possibly be either..but was wondering if there was a standard for this motor/size. I have new programmable...

ok thanks guys, battery has BMS, and the on/off switch does cut all battery output. I'll have to ponder on it, as I might get different battery setup in the future... thanks again Joby

thanks for the reply, thats what I was thinking, splitting the negative. just making sure... what do you mean when you say "switch it", you mean put in a switch before the converter? I was planning to run some fog lights for headlights, that supposedly can run 12v- 80v, so straight to battery...

hey all, Making a decision soon on buck converter to run possible alarm system, lights, horn etc. I see two types, one has separated positives and negatives for input and output. other type has 3 wires, red for high volt input, yellow for low 12v output, and a black common wire. I am...

Hi, first off this forum is great, thanks everyone for sharing your info and thoughts! I have Cyclone 1800-3000w motor, with stock 40amp controller. My current battery is a calibike 48v 20ah 18650 cell based pack rated for 40 amps continuous. It is not made up of PREMIUM high C rate cells...

Thanks!! I have already bugged Teklektik with 3-4 private messages, and he has been very helpful...I will check out your threads as well thanks again Joby

thanks for all the replies, appreciate them all...:) Joby

Thanks again for the relplies, makes a lot of sense..good stuff. I was planning on shifting my current bag over and mounting the other one side by side with it. My top tube is 1.5" my bag is about 3.25" wide, if other battery is comparable width, which it should be close, both together should...

I have a 48v 20ah pack, that is basically fine, no issues....looking at other batteries, possibly higher voltage. I am sure this question has been asked a million times, but I see different answers. The question is this, if I just get another 48v pack, to parallel to the pack I have, can I get...

thank you for the links and all the posts/ideas. Makes sense, Will do more research as well. any more input is appreciated of course... I like the idea of a switch because everything (wiring) is hidden currently , I have not unplugged the battery since installation, it has the charge port on...
