A normal PAS is any one with a hall sensor and magnets.RTIII said:d8veh said:IIRC, you can use anything as a cadence sensor, including a normal PAS. The Speedict just counts the pulses. You tell it how many pulses per turn. The speed sensor works exactly the same.
What's a "normal PAS"?
Note that I'm a TSDZ2 rider... My bikes have a torque sensor inside them.
The guy, Danny, at Speedict sent me an image of the sensor they ... sell?! (he hasn't given me a price after asking twice) and it has a ring with what look like some magnets and the center of it has in-going fingers... Not sure how they intend for you to attach it. And it has a wire with a normal looking connector on one end and a big loop on the other end - not sure what the idea is there - maybe the image is WAY out of scale?
Not sure why Danny has been so coy about it. He said they were thinking of pulling the product to merge that function into Neptune and my reaction was, "Noooooooooooooo!"

That is what some companies do when their flagship product is in trouble--fold cheaper sub-products that have higher demand into them, to force people to buy the flagship product instead, spending more money with them. Happens in hardware and software, and too often it seems to put those companies out of business entirely some time after they do it.RTIII said:He said they were thinking of pulling the product to merge that function into Neptune and my reaction was, "Noooooooooooooo!"

I love small size this bms . Are they sill the best ?

Can you switch on BMS to charge only and leave turned off when riding or do you leave on while riding - if so what is the current rating for the Neptune 20 Lite

Neptune 20 Lite is for cell monitoring only not BMS.
Please wait for our Neptune 20 later, the size of Neptune 20 size (70mm * 75mm * 10mm) and rated current 100A+

mcclead2 said:Thanks Danny I will wait as I'm currently buying the parts at the moment. Will it handle 3 x 6S lipo? If so how do I wire these into your Neptune 20 - PM me if you have any instructions

yes, all you need to do is make 3 6s pack in series >> 18s, and use Neptune 18s connector connect to Neptune 20

So just wire into the balance connectors leaving out the negative balance wire of each pack?

can you use multi-meter to measure balance plug all 21 pins with its adjacent not excess 4.2v first ?

mcclead2 said:I have balance charged all 3 packs to storage charge which is 3.8v per cell. I have done this with a Thunder Power lipo balance charger which I use for my R/C Models
Tuomito said:I'm building an ebike with a cyc x1 pro motor (with bac855 controller max rated power 3000w) and with a 16s lipo battery (4x4s 8000mah batteries in series, 30C rating). I'm planning to charge the batteries with my rc lipo charger, in parallel. The charger has a balance function and the controller has power limits I can set.
Tuomito said:I would like to be able to monitor the battery during riding, especially in the beginning when batteries are new, if there is bad cells etc.
The Neptune 20 lite seems be perfect for the task but it's unavailable, discounted?
Tuomito said:The non lite version does everything but with extra cost. Would the Neptune 20 be able to handle my setup?
I'm little confused in buying from your webshop, do I need to buy the Neptune 20 (hardware) AND Neptune 20 (firmware) = 188$?
Tuomito said:Are you planning to release another lite version?
Tuomito said:Btw. Does the Neptune have an ip rating?
Going to charge each 4s pack separately, if cell balance is good, I understood I´m able to charge all at once with parallel board.do you mean your RC Charger can charge all 16s at once, or charge each 4s pack separately ?
if you're not concern short circuit protection, imbalance cell protection / cell under-voltage on high current discharge cycle, cell over-voltage due to re-generative, you don't need NEPTUNE 20 !
Very thankful for this!yes, it's discontinued, but we should have some leftover stock, we can send you one sample for free, just PM me for the arrangement and you just need to pay for shipping cost.
Chri_Tof said:Hi. Unfortunately today I installed the latest firmware on my Neptune 15 (which, according to the device, worked). Since then I can no longer access the device via Bluetooth. I've tried different phones, re-pairing, re-installing the app, unplugging and re-plugging everything, but no change. Any idea what it could be and what else I can try? Is there a way to reset the device? I couldn't find anything about it in the manual.
Thanks
