High Quality LiFePo4 cells in bulk for sale, NC
I work in racing, and obtained these packs that are no longer in use. The cells contained within the packs are these: http://www.batteryspace.com/high-power-lfp-polymer-cell-3-2v-10ah-8790160-5c-32wh-50a-rate-un38-3-passed-dgr.aspx The cells in each pack are ohm matched and of the same date code.

Re: I cheated this time
A suspension seat would be really nice. I have a brooks seat on a foot-powered Raleigh Twenty, and boy is it nice. The noseless seat is a standard item in the bike section of Wal Mart for $20. For larger people like me, it makes all the difference in the world. I think most bike seats are made for r...

I cheated this time
Wanted to get back into the game on the cheap, to help me get back in shape. Looking around, technology has made big leaps since 2009, but there aren't any more $250 shipped 9C kits kicking around. I scoured eBay until I came across this bike, a Schwinn Transit Electric 700C. Has a 24 volt lithium p...

Re: help swapping from yescom 48V controller to Lyen 12 FET
The black/green/red wires on the three pin connector is for your throttle, that is standard wire coloring for an ebike throttle. The other two wires on the smaller connector, the red and black, are probably just a feed directly from the battery to the throttle. The circuitry to display the battery v...

Re: Yescom Kit 36V Controller internals revealed
The controller probably has a preset amp limit, from the looks of it mine will definitely do more than the 500 watts it is marked, but if it's programmed to do 500 watts, that's what it will do, or at least that's what I am under the impression of. Get a Lyen controller if you want a good programmab...

Re: Yescom Kit 36V Controller internals revealed
Going by that figure and the fact that it has twelve FETs, how much current would you estimate it could safely handle continuously? Surely more than 15 amps?

Re: What have I done wrong???
I am tired of messing with these cells. Must have a damn ghost inside them. Every single cell reads good and charged to 2+ Ah. I have already dumped a month into these and will spend no more time with them. Anyone who wants them can have them for the cost of shipping. PM Me.

What have I done wrong???
I have spent all night working on this piece of shit battery, and after getting it done, it reads 4 volts at the outermost two points, where it should read 40V. On the next two innermost points (8s) I get 24V, like it is only 6S! Measured at any 9S, I get 32V, like an 8S pack.. There are no dead cel...

I have attached a picture of what I use in case you wanted to try something else. A "MetroPCS" standalone cell phone battery charger I purchased from eBay for a whopping $3.50 shipped. I took it apart and ran clipleads out of the original contact holes to charge any battery with tabs. The circuit in...

It is indeed the O2 micro chip after further inspection. A little easier (hopefully) question...anyone got a wiring diagram of the pinout?

Can anyone help me out here? Specifically looking for the wiring diagram, any features, and the current limit. Came off of a working 36v (10S) Li-Ion pack.

Re: Prius Batteries - How to make them work
I am still in the process of cycling all the cells to find 5 of them with close enough capacity to each other to use in a 5S pack. They provide promising results at a 25 amp discharge, though. I'm a tad busy at the moment (assuming you were talking about me) but I definately plan to use them in some...

Re: Prius Batteries - How to make them work
Today, I did the final testing on the first cell. I ended up with a capacity of around ~2600 mah after 3 or so cycles at a low charge and discharge rate. I decided to put the battery to a test, so I did a few cycles at 6A charge and 20A discharge. The good news is that the battery never got hotter t...
