Thanks. That's a lot of mileage. Good to know it should last much longer. I'm glad I took it apart when I did.

Just wanted to share my experience and ask some repair questions. I have a 750 watt BBS02 built in October 2014. I've run it for over 2600 miles (over 4000 km) and it's been trouble free. I did make a programming cable for it and set the max current to 18 amps and I only use it with pedal...

I'm having a hard time finding an economical way of buying just 20 of those cells. Would love the ability to shape the pack into a saddle bag.

I see where you are coming from and that's an excellent point. I have a BBS02 crank drive on a hybrid and one thing that I don't like is that I can't turn the wattage down below 200 watts so if I'm riding with someone that is slow, I either have to turn it off and pedal pretty hard or pedal...

I think I'm going to use 2 18v Ryobi batteries together to get the 36V as in this thread. I already have the batteries and charger, so it will be a cheap experiment. If I like it, I can get 2 new batteries for $100 total. http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=68281

If I used 2 of the 4Ah batteries with a controller that has a LVC, I'm thinking it would just shut off if one of the batteries disconnected. Wouldn't make my wife happy, but would save the battery. :D I also found a Bosch tool battery that is 36V in a single battery, but its $200 and I'd have...

I have 1200 miles on mine so far with no issues. I think Kepler has over 5000 on his. I would expect to replace the plastic gears at some point, but probably not before 5000 miles.

I am preparing to order a Q100H from BMSBattery and would like some advice. I'll be powering it with a 36v battery. It will be used on a cruiser bike mostly for assist up hills of 2% to 10% with the longest hill being about a quarter mile 5%. I'm ordering the 201 winding. Won't be going fast...

10 amps - It's for a Q100H 24volt motor that can go to 360 watts. I'll be overdriving the motor at 36 volts and just 10 amps.

Love this idea and your implementation. I was looking for a way to get a pretty light low ah 36volt battery, something like 3 - 4 ah. I've got a couple of the Ryobi batteries already and will give this a try and post my pics.

I'm looking for a small 36 volt battery for a bike where I need very little range. Something like a 3 - 5 ah. Haven't found anything from the sources I usually use for longer range batteries. Thoughts?

Nope. It's rated at the higher amperage. As another person added, it will run at 400 watts continuously without overheating.

The great thing about the 250 watt version of the Bafang mid-drive is that it is stamped 250 watts which will meet your laws, but it actually puts out 540 watts - 36volts X 15 amps. I have a BBS02 and use it regularly set between 400 watts and 500 watts and it provides enough power for my...

Can't help with your issue but I would like to know where you bought them.
