Thnaks so much to all who posted,,,all so much good info, thank you! I have decided for myself anyways, that it's not good to do, but wont kill them, and more a matter of lifespan and that I plan to not do this in future past a few days at most....lifespan is more the issue than safety, and I...

Thanks to you both for the info, but my question wasn't really answered.......how long can the pack stay charged SAFELY? again, is two weeks too much as many have told me its ok..... I really don't wanna discharge it now, plans are to use the pack this coming saturday, making it only two weeks...

Hello Gang! Learned a TON on ES, and happy to report on the third season of my built lipo pack of 16S, 67.2 v/15 ah pack and have been using HK 5000 mah 4S hardcased lipo's safely now for years.....and a turnigy user for rc planes for many more..... I never charged them past 4.15 and never...

Thanks so much to all in this thread for their help,,,,,great bunch of guys! Gonna go the 14S route, and just ordered the extra 3 more batteries of 2S 5000 mah's HARDCASE lipo and a new charger to cut at 58.8v Great stuff gang,,thanks again to all that chimed in and helped with all the good...

Looking for the RIGHT 2S from Hobbyking to add...... Hey Gents I AM going to add the 3 more 2s5000's......and am now at HK site, and OMG tons of 2s5000's.... *Anyone recommend which 2S/5000 mah do I buy to match with these 4S I have already...

Oh I guess I have one more dumb question..ok, maybe its two,,,lol I can only assume(at HobbyKing anyways) that I cant buy 2s/5000 lipo in a hardcase pack like the 4s/5000 they sell.... And isn't it risky to have a battery without this hardcase protection added to the row at end, could it not...

Thanks so much guys to ALL that posted all good info...... And like ykick I am hapy with the hardcase packs, happy with charging with a bulk charger(dunno what the one guy meant about a trickle charge, my bulk chager works quite well as I dont have anything biger than an imax b6 250 w charger...

Thanks for more info Dogman, really helpful Well, I have already ordered lipo,,,you mentioned lico.....? And already have these packs made for another bike and have been happy And ok, I get you both now,,,, 44.4 is 3.7 x 12 or my lowest point I use of the charge< I get it now... and 50.4...

Thanks Dan for the reply and confirming that 48v SLA fully charged = 53 v, it is appreciated the help... And mate, read again, my line is NINE total as I did say 3 rows (of 3 each=9): "3 x 4S Hobbyking 5000 mah HARDCASE PACKS in series BY three rows to make 50.4 volts and 15 ah?" Now you...

Hey Gang Just need to confirm some voltage numbers with you guys that know more than I ! I just bought another ebike like the nikon switch, emmo urban, that uses a: 48/14 SLA Battery It is sagged to death, so I tossed the sla and am converting to 48/15 LIPO using: 3 x 4S Hobbyking 5000 mah...

Thank you Hydro one for joining our little 'puzzle game' I will do just that as ykick also suggested, try same and test again on a lower voltage(12s) and 50v setup And will report in about a week, bike wont be out any earlier it looks like, as temps here are to fall back to 1-5 c early in...

Thanks again ykick for keeping on, and ok, I will do just that...and yes, I have the Turnigy WATTMETER, similar to a CA I believe, that should work When she comes out, I will try her on that 50v and report any findings and measurements next week if it ever warms up and stays warm here in...

"Okay, that's helpful - all that I can suspect is it's speed related. Perhaps that controller has a speed limit?" Thanks ykick again, but no I don't think this is true, reason I say this is because the guy that had this controller before me, was running it in a 72 v lipo gio maxed at 84 volts...

Let me address some points mentioned...and a HUGE THANK YOU to all who have chimed in, some great info despite nothing I can see that is a cause yet..... "He hasn't told us if he's just wanging the throttle from a stop or taking care to get up to speed. If he's just going wide open from a stop...

thnx dnmun! ok. I will do. as I do have a turnigy watt meter, similar to a CA I believe, will charge her up and attach this But dnmun, how will that show me an HVC level? it usually reads 67.2 at start when plugged into bike, and just goes down as I ride? How WOULD I find if theres an HVC in...
