Rather than spend $20 on a connector that would likely fail again I decided to drill a hole in the end of my case and directly connect an XT90 connector to the battery output and then sealed the hole with silicone. I just mounted it back on the bike this evening and so far, so good.
The battery connector in my battery cradle failed. Does anyone know where I can find the type of connector shown in the link below? Also, I'm interested in instructions for how to replace the connector in a Jumbo Shark case.

Thanks.
I just got a new controller and it didnt fix the problem. It seems there is little way to know what to expect out of Bafangs firmware. Hence what I’m proposing is figuring out how to get around the PAS component of the firmware.
Interesting thought. I'll have to look into the tire pressure monitors as a source for pressure data. I was thinking more about this some more yesterday. Is there a way to disable PAS in our systems, but still have the throttle work? I'm pretty sure there is. Anyway, that would be a way to get...
I've been toying with the idea of mounting an arduino into each pedal with a pressure switch and bluetooth module. These would then send their pressure data via bluetooth to another arduino mounted on the handlebars. This Arduino would average the pedal inputs and then map that to a PAS level...
I've decided I should probably get an advanced charger to charge my Luna Shark and Jumbo Shark batteries to only 80% capacity in order to get them to last as long as possible. Luna carries such a charger, but they cost $100 and I'd need two of them since my batteries are ofdifferent voltages...
Does anyone know how to upgrade the firmware on the BBSHD controller and where to get the latest firmware? According to Luna the controllers currently being shipped from Bafang no longer have the issue with the non-progressive throttle while peddling. Luna has been gracious enough to offer to...
Thanks for the information Rassy. I'll take a look (hopefully this evening) to see what my serial number is. Where should I look on my BBSHD for the number?
Interesting. I have the gear change sensor installed (though it doesn't work very well). I wonder if I remove the sensor if the throttle would behave normally. Perhaps there is a way to cut the wire to the sensor and bridge the connection so the controller behaves as though the sensor wasn't there.
I read on a forum a month or so ago that when pedaling the throttle behaves in an on/off manner (i.e., full wattage or nothing). If one is not pedaling, then the throttle behaves as expected with some degree of modulation. I was finally able to test it out this morning on my bike (BBSHD with...
"...and so usually have 5v on one wire, ground on another, and a signal that goes from just above 0V to around 4V..."
This is good to know and is what I'm trying to figure out. Any ideas how I can tell which wire is which? The unit in question is the standard left thumb throttle for the BBSxx...
Does anyone else have a copy of a schematic for any of the Bafang throttles? I'm working on a project where I control the throttle input with an Arduino and need to know which pins do what.
