Ah got it 7.2*5. I was using 8V that others have been charging up to. Rjoe, thanks for the explanation. That makes a lot of sense. How long does it take for a complete charge (when battery is exhausted) with your setup? Also, do you use the NTC temperature sensor that comes with the charger...

Monstarr, Looks like a great setup! I'd like to find out how that charger works out for you.

Rjoe are you wiring 4 modules in series? Can your charger also handle a single module at a time? (Assuming 4 in series) Have you had any problems with over/under charging any single module? And for the newbie question of the day: Can you explain what "-dV" means? My understanding on how to...

Yeah good point. Well I was thinking that I could build a separate "electric" wheel. And then swap the two if I wanted to. OK thanks Corkscrew for the info. Any idea if a campy freewheel would fit on a hub motor? A guy from the local bike shop said that I should make sure that they are...

I have a 1997 Lemond Alpe d' Huez road bike that I'd like to add a rear hub motor to: http://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=1997&Brand=LeMond&Model=Alpe+d%27Huez&Type=bike The bike has campagnola shifting. Ideally when I purchase a rear hub motor I'd like to add a campagnola...

Hi Slawek, I like the Angle grinder gear box idea. What model of Dewalt grinder did you use for this? Andy
