    PANASONIC ebike battery change

    I've had similar experience with the Yamaha, even leaving the two pack connected in parallel on the balance wires for months. I've come to the conclusion that any e-bike that requires a specific BMS to run (like the BionX and never Bosch system) will most likely be worthless after a couple of...

    So you are using 8s LiPo's on a 26V Panasonic system without issues?

    PANASONIC ebike battery change

    This set had been performing poorly during the summer, and sure enough, all 14 bags were puffed. I think I'm better off ditching the Panasonic BMS and using a proper external balancing charger.

    PANASONIC ebike battery change

    The Zippy cells didn't survive the winter break. Their capacity was very poor, despite all 5 led's turning on when the test button was kept pressed. Opening up the battery case revealed that all cells had puffed up, some of them had actually burst. I got 1½ years service and maybe 1000-1500...

    Programming the Bafang Middrive BBS01+BBS02

    I was desperate and tried to find other drivers etc, because no Com ports came up to chose from. Until I found this post and wrote COM7 in the blank field. All other programs I know that use serial interfaces list the available COM ports by themselves. First I connected the green, white and...

    Does the battery meter become useful if you raise the LVC? Can you use make a 36V unit accept higher voltage by reprogramming?

    No I meant upgrade. Like upgrading from Vista to XP, when you bought a new laptop infected with Vista. Who stole the start menu? If you, like me, like to play with various diagnostic cables, using the latest Windows version is a sure recipe for disaster.

    Upgrade your computer to Windows 7, the Bafang program probably has problems with Win 8 anyway.

    Thanks to Aushiker in this post: I've found this on DX.com http://www.dx.com/p/maitech-8-copper-core-waterproof-connector-terminal-head-black-304891#.U2x7XKK0Mso This looks like a good candidate for replacing the display connector, for easy programming. They don't offer a 6-core version on DX.com

    If you pedal slower than the motor spins the chainring, the motor is doing all the work. If you pedal faster than the motor spins the chainring, you are doing all the work. On a Panasonic mid-drive, the motor has a 9-14T sprocket pulling the chain at a certain max rpm and the chainring only...

    A heads-up for Europeans: I've just received this USB to TTL converter: http://www.ebay.de/itm/USB-RS232-TTL-UART-PL2303HX-Konverter-Adapter-Kabel-CP12005-F44-/271361620831 I ordered it Wednesday evening.

    The two are mechanically locked together. Only on Panasonic mid motors can the ratio be changed by changing the motor sprocket.

    My son has had several "interesting episodes" when he has run out in the soft sand on the side of the path and the motor keeps pulling for a while after he's stopped pedaling. Are there any adverse effects of turning "stop delay" all the way down?

    I think using the term "male, motor side of the plug" will reduce the risk of confusion. The controller is in the motor, but many call the display "controller"

    Could someone please try to configure a lower voltage than 36V for a BBS-01 ? My battery infrastructure is mostly 7s packs, so being able to use one for my son's bike would be convenient. The other way around, I also have 2X 6S 8000mAh packs, which I would like to use as well, for longer trips.

    Bafang BBS01/02 on a bike with hub gear and footbrakes?

    The freewheel allowing the motor to keep on driving while the crank is not turning (no it's not a fixie) also makes the use of a coaster/foot brake impossible. If you have no mechanical feeling and shift gears on a hub gear while the motor is pulling, you will destroy it in short order. Having...

    You need to rotate the magnet so the other side faces the sensor. It's easy to check, there's a red LED in the end of the sensor, which blinks each time the magnet passes - if the correct side of the magnet is facing the sensor.
