    Going around any "closed-system" battery - Use your Satiator on any battery?

    Maybe, but if BMS is located after the controlling system, then it makes sense right? And even if BMS and controller integrated, is there a big chance of blowing everything up by connecting Satiator directly to cells and charging only up to 80% (i.e. 52V on a 13S) and doing full charge through...

    Going around any "closed-system" battery - Use your Satiator on any battery?

    Hi team, Looks to me that an increasingly large proportion of ebike motor manufacturers are getting into the closed system business (including Bafang, shame on them). This means that all of us who have bought expensive Cycle-satiator chargers, are kind of unable to use it on most of our non-DIY...

    Charging Stromer 983 Wh battery with a Satiator?

    Hi Rob, any answer or solution on your question? I saw on another forum that the Stromer charger has apparently a simple resistor between the 2 comunication poles that unlocks the charging port of the battery, so all this idea that the charger would "read" the battery vital parameter is just...

    Bafang M620/G510 (and all other Bafang motors) now on CAN-BUS (2021+) rather than UART (2018-2020)?

    Yes indeed, I have the pyramidal type which is the CaN bus version and Bafang has changed all its controllers to that type in 2021. :evil:

    Bafang M620/G510 (and all other Bafang motors) now on CAN-BUS (2021+) rather than UART (2018-2020)?

    Hi rac, Weird as when I received my M620 Directly from Bafang they had predefined my wheel size (26inches) and have locked my motor to 50Km/h which I cannot change. Before, on the UART version, I think you were able to change your speed limit directly from the display, but on mine (and I guess...

    Bafang M620/G510 (and all other Bafang motors) now on CAN-BUS (2021+) rather than UART (2018-2020)?

    Silly (naive?) question guys but since I understand that even with the BEEST tool, only a few parameters can be changed on the M600, would it be fair to assume that the controller of the M620 is locked? Or would the can scanning tool (does it also exist on Windows rather than Linux) read and...

    Bafang M620/G510 (and all other Bafang motors) now on CAN-BUS (2021+) rather than UART (2018-2020)?

    Quite pricey at EUR 429 for just the controller LOL.... Unless you absolutely need more power, just waiting for a hack of the CAN-BUS system and buy a cheap EUR 10-20 USB cable to adjust the parameter of the existing controller seems like a more interesting option to me. By the way, now that we...

    Bafang M620/G510 (and all other Bafang motors) now on CAN-BUS (2021+) rather than UART (2018-2020)?

    Hi, if your bafang comes with a wiring systen which has the display port as a round green connector, the eggrider will work as this means your Bafang is a 2020 model running UART protocol. If your Bafang wiring system comes with a green pyramidal connector as screen connector, then eggrider...

    The Cycle Satiator, universal charger for the enthusiasts

    Halleluhiah, I tried the connections below and it worked first time (both reading and writing). So you wan make your own USB to TTL cable very easily. So if you want to build yourself a XLR to USB connector, you need to buy: - 1 FT230X connector : EUR 10.16 shipped on Aliexpress - 1 XLR...

    The Cycle Satiator, universal charger for the enthusiasts

    Even for that option on ebike-solution (only official reseller in Europe): - USB Cable: EUR 20.92 - Jack connector: EUR 16.72 - Shipping EUR 14.92 - Taxes on arrival: EUR 18 + 10% Total: EUR 77.6 i.e. USD 93... pretty crazy how well this world is made on pricing arbitrage, isn't it ;o)...

    The Cycle Satiator, universal charger for the enthusiasts

    Thanks, you forget the need also for the adapter to get the jack connection, shipping costs and import costs making the price ridiculous for something that costs USD 5 to make (I live in Switzerland) - would cost USD 72 plus taxes i.e. roughly USD 100.... I am sure that changes the perspective...

    The Cycle Satiator, universal charger for the enthusiasts

    Hi, i just bought a Satiator 72V but the USB cable was unavailable (and quite expensive since needed to buy the USB connector AND the adapter which I did not need since my battery charges directly through the XLR. I am therefore trying to recreate this USB TTL connector and bought: - 1 XLR...

    Bafang M500/M600 thread

    You could reach out to Bafang directly. I was stunned when they replied and accepted to sell me only 1 M620 motor... I contacted Robin who was just super helfpul (robin.hua@bafang-e.com). Just so that you know, all systems you will order from Bafang: - Will have a lead time of c. 3 weeks as...

    Bafang M620/G510 (and all other Bafang motors) now on CAN-BUS (2021+) rather than UART (2018-2020)?

    Sorry for the delay. - If you have a display cable that is green and round, then you are on UART system and the eggrider will work - If your display connector looks like a house drawn by a kid, then your system is CAN-BUS and the eggrider won't work for now That said, since Bafang changed all...

    Bafang M620/G510 (and all other Bafang motors) now on CAN-BUS (2021+) rather than UART (2018-2020)?

    Thanks much, sounds like Bafang is going the route of closed systems like Bosch, Shimano etc. Shame.

    Bafang M620/G510 (and all other Bafang motors) now on CAN-BUS (2021+) rather than UART (2018-2020)?

    Hi, I just ordered a Bafang Ultra (aka M620 aka G510) and was surprised when Bafang specified on the invoice that the display would be a CAN-BUS version as opposed to being a UART version. They confirmed this morning to me that they have changed the manufacturing and that they are NOT producing...
