    Lifepo4 voltage?

    Thanks for the response. I just went for a 5 minute test ride. Before riding the voltage read 45.1 on the battery. After that short ride it reads 39.8. Should it be that low that quick? The battery is 12 AH. Thanks!

    Lifepo4 voltage?

    How would I know when It's fully charged then? I've had ito n the charger today for 6 hours and it still sporadically goes red for a few seconds.

    Do these chargers alert you when they are done somehow?

    Lifepo4 voltage?

    Thank you for the replies. Is it normal for it while on the charger, and testing through the other lead to read at and above 45v? The battery is from CammyCC. I'm impressed so far!

    Lifepo4 voltage?

    Thank you for the response! Hopefully that 3 volts will make a difference! It's charging now, are all these charges pretty much the same? It goes red when I plug it in, and after a big goes green then red. and now it's solid green but the battery reds 42.6v. Will the charger stop charging...

    Lifepo4 voltage?

    Hiya, How many volts does a fully charged 36v lifepo4 put out? I just tested my setup and the battery was reading 40.2volts but it seemed really weak. (I didn't get on it.) the battery hasn't been charged yet. But I'm wondering what fully charged voltage is? Thanks!

    Torque Arm and Drop Out Question

    Thank you for the replies. The wheel spins clockwise, so I will put it on the right of the bike. But should the arm go forward or aft? Sorry for the confusion, the drawing is just the dropout, it does not display the torque arm.

    Torque Arm and Drop Out Question

    Hi, I have a solid steel fork and purchased a Amped Bike Torque arm just to be safe. What side does the torque arm go on? And does the arm part go foward or rearward? Also, my dropouts are all steel, and fit without inside washers. However, there is a very slight gap between the top of the...

    Help wiring up a LifePo4?

    Hi all, Can someone lend me a hand? I'm eagerly trying to get my Ebike ready. Got everything today! Anyway the battery is confusing me. It came with no information. I am using the Ampedbiked kit and none of the connectors match! If you could follow my picture story and tell me what the wires...

    Do I need a Torque arm for steel front forks, too?

    Thanks for the reply. I'd rather not risk anything then. Would this be sufficient? I will be using 36v. http://www.nashbar.com/profile.cfm?category=&subcategory=&brand=&sku=13284&storetype=&estoreid=&pagename=Show%20All%20Products

    Do I need a Torque arm for steel front forks, too?

    Thank you for all the replies. I've found out that it is Aluminum. Can I use it with a torque arm or is that a bad idea? Did it matter that it was a suspension fork?

    Do I need a Torque arm for steel front forks, too?

    Hi guys, Purchasing a Ampedbikes kit and am wondering if I'll need a torque arm for the front fork if it's steel? Will be a mountain bike fork if that makes any difference. Also, if I do need a torque arm, do I need one for each side or just one? Planning on using this on a Steel Giant Boulder...

    Amped Bike kit and 12ah 36v LifePo4 - acceptable combo?

    I've read that if you have a "weak" battery, it can ruin them. I just don't want it to be ruined. I live in a relatively flat area. I talked to Danny and he said the max I'll see is 19 amps. The battery is within that range as Max Cont. Current.
