    Solar MPPT Charging Lithium Ion - Bulk, Absorb & Float Voltage Settings

    This seems like it should be an easier to find an answer to question. I have a SE MPPT and I just want to set it up for Lithium Ion. There is no default option so I'm needing to set it up as a custom battery type. What values should I use per cell for the Bulk, Absorb & Float?

    Off the shelf precharge contactor/relay/circuit?

    Hello Is anyone aware of a simple timer based solution for connecting a precharge resistor for a certain amount of time before connecting the main contactor? I want my BMS to totally disconnect the pack at LVC but I have several capacitive loads (inverter/charge, motor controller, DCDC) so I'm...

    Cells in parallel vs whole packs

    Hi hopefully this is a quick question though preliminary searching didn't reveal an existing answer. Say you have 8x 3.6V identical cells. To make a 12V battery I understand the best approach would be to do sets of two cells in parallel then 4 sets in series. 2P4S. Then this could be managed by...

    Ferrule End and Screw Lug for high current cable - bad idea?

    Hi. I'm trying to figure out a solution for a cable end that can pass through a gland and am wondering about using a combination of a ferrule and a screw lug. It's a <1m run of 3/0 wire carrying 600A max. Or would the preferred option be to fatten the cable at the gland with some heat shrink...

    Wanted Vancouver/Canada source for Gigavac GV200-QA or equivalent

    Looking to source some contactors for our Curtis 1238 motor controllers. Trick seems to be that they need to not have PWM or Coil Suppression so as to not damage the controller. https://www.evwest.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=2_13&products_id=406

    Shunt Based Smart Solenoid "Diode" for Battery Isolation

    Hi there I'm wondering if anyone knows of a product that is essentially a circuit that only lets current flow in one direction using a relay. I'm thinking its a simple IC that boots up, closes a relay then watches the direction of current flow and if the flow goes one way it opens the relay...

    Min Voltage for Throttle Output of Cycle Analyst 2.3

    Hi I'm trying to setup my cycle analyst 2.3 for current limiting. I've wired it up and it does work but it is output 0V as a minimum voltage which is putting my Grinfineon motor controller into regen mode when I'm not on the throttle. Is there a way to set the minimum throttle output. My...

    Throttle Issue

    Hello I'm trouble shooting a Cycles Maximus trike, http://www.cyclesmaximus.com/TractionDrive.htm. It seems that when you run the throttle full for say 30sec when you release the controller stops working, no more throttle response. Once you power cycle it starts again. I'm wondering if this is...

    Parallel Charge Controllers

    Hello I'm looking at using two Midnite Classic 200 charge controllers with a single battery pack and a single wind turbine type generator. I know they can be connected in parallel and synced with a bus bar connection for charging a common battery pack. Is there any issue having a common input as...

    Power Assist vs Human Power

    Hi all I'm interested in setting up a power assist system with the cycle analyst and bb torque sensor. I'm wondering though how exactly the system works and if it can work in a way I think would be really cool. So as near as I can tell the assistance in these setups is proportional to pedaling...
