Hiya folks,
New member with a new-to-me Greyborg bike, featuring an adaptto mini-e controller, a v1 (i think) cromotor and 10 x Turnigy 5000mAh 4s batteries, strung up in 5 sets of parallel pairs, to give 84v and 10Ah.
Still learning the ropes and fiddling with the controller, and after reading this whole thread (yep, really!) and the manual, I had a few quick q's if anyone can oblige me:
1 - I've stuck my boost profile close to the max the MiniE can allow - 60 battery amps and 170 phase. As best I can tell, the cromotor can certainly handle this, and the 60A (30A over each battery in parallel) is well under half the 20C of the batteries (100A). This gets me up close to 70 kph....but only for a few minutes. Power then cuts and I get a "protect" message on the top of the screen, which I have to reset in the Advanced settings.
The manual says this is "overcurrent protection" but I dont know why it's happening - the current stays around 60A on the display, ie the limit I set. How coudl the current exceed the limit in the Boost profile? What exactly trips the "Protect" mode? Is continual cruising at 60kph unreasonable?
2 - The darn range meter at the bottom! Ever though I've set capacity to the 10AH and done the 'reset stats and set charge 100%' function, it still gives range estimates of 200km ++ and when the battery is at 72 v (3.6 / cell ie nearly flat) it says I have 95% left. Am I missing something?
Thanks heaps!
