WOW! How in the world can that happen? Good luck with what ever you need to do.

Dan

50 MPH! Not a chance. 11" wheels at 50 mph, a small pothole and your gone. Not legal in any state I believe. Too much money for a thing like that. Buy a bike or a cheap moto.

Good luck LC. Moving is a bitch. 3 months later and all I have ridden is 1.1 miles. Movers don't care about you baby all they do is stuff it in any place it might fit. Still unpacking and finding mistakes in the house as well the shipping mess. Can't find stuff because we haven't totally unpacked. I...

First post said 500w hub, so most times that is what the controller is. The hub motor is not limited to 500w since the controller controllers that. the hub will take more power but will over heat sooner if too many watts are pushed thru. How fast does it go with stock battery voltage and is the cont...

I know if the larger line at the condensing unit isn't ice cold, it need Freon. Never heard of the return line being cold. Always warmer than the suction side.

Has #35 chain changed? I used that 50 years ago go-kart racing. I know we had to oil but that was with 30hp, not 4.

Dan

Wow, too busy to help you? Call again and again. Tell them your a member of ES, they really don't want a bad review here.

That controller is for that system. Many controllers out there but wiring is hard to match if not from original vendor.

As the Hub Motor Turns and the LiPo Fire Burns. Hurricanes :!: Sinkholes :!: alligators :!: Oh my :!: My mother has been retired for a few years now and spends most of her time down there. Also my ol ladies son and grand-kids live in Clearwater FL. We have been offered to move down there on many oc...

Congrats on your new house. Is it this one here? https://p.rdcpix.com/v06/l1fa12644-m0xd-w1020_h770_q80.jpg (First one to turn up when I search Port Richey) Sometimes I do wonder how and why it is that busy people like you and me still seem to get more hobby work done, than the unemployed and under...

Well LC, it appears things haven't changed, while I was gone. Still the easiest way to hit 40 is a DD and 72v. You might get there with 16s but that depends on the motor and controller. And if you wanna do it so bad, do it on a 26" or larger bike. That way you might survive the ride to tell us about...

Were the packs still in series (44v)? A resistor won't help. If they are that far off they should not be connected.

Dan

samsung.png I will see what happens. Doing the math the two 10.0 Multistar will run me $150 to get 44 volts @ 10 Ah The cheap Wall-Mart cells tested on youtube would run me close to that with tax for a 44 volt 8 Ah pack. Is it really true that the 18650 cells will last 2 to 3 times longer than LiPo...

Don't ask you will never know.

https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=61608&hilit=cheap+18650+cells Only the first post on the first page. 1.49 for 2250 cells and up. There has been 99% good results from him. takes time to get here as it's overseas. Contact thru PM and see what shipping costs and cells. Minimum o...

NO, NO, NO on the packaged cells!!!!! I will get that link again to you.

Dan

20wh/mile is a nice benchmark, but 100wh/mile or more is just too much fun. :mrgreen: I like your way of thinkin! Yes fun is probably why most here have Ebikes. I know commuting is one thing, mine too, but many use the bike to have fun while commuting. No they don't see 100wh/mi like you, but, fun ...

LC,I recommend you to leave them alone. You don't quite understand them yet. Soldering is getting better. Why are you afraid using the SONA packs? If the bike is drawing too much they would shut down fast due to the BMS function. That would tell you that there is a problem. Hope you get your money b...

You might want to put something between the rows of cells, so they don't rub and short.

Dan

That pack is used!

Dan

Sorry LC but we did worn you. Just because they look like diamonds they really aren't. I would defiantly let the seller that they are not as listed. Ask or tell him you want a refund, at least half. I bought some fake cells knowing they were not the listed 5000mah but only 1500mah. I got half the mo...

Yes the controller could do it as it hits LVC. Normally the controller will come back as the voltage rises with no load. It sounds like the battery is done. A BMS shuts down to protect the battery from over load or a low/bad cell group. Since you need to turn off and on to regain power, it is most l...

Your gonna need 16s not 15. I have read that those cells aren't that great but I have no experience. Do you think the magnets will hold with all the bumps?

Dan

All I got was a cup of Dunkin coffee and a donut

Dan

OK LC. You want them get them. You added .1v to the cells, ok all that is miss leading. They are 3.2/3.3 nominal not 3.4. No big deal. As for charging. If you charge more than one pack, at least 5 maps and more if more packs. I charge at 10 amps with my 16a pack and it is rated at 2c or 32 amps. NO ...

That will work, I thought you meant, TO EACH CELL. I think the top capacity 18650 is 3500 mah but they are getting better. And the old cells are getting cheaper. Like the 3000 mah cells. If they are real that's not bad. Back to the 26650 cells you keep bringing up. They were/are lower voltage cells ...
