new to the ebike world, a problem thats been plaguing me for weeks, and it was solved within 2 hours of joining now if it blows up my ebike im blaming you lot...hehe anyways, thanks guys for being solid

thanks man, iv ordered 2 meters of 12 gauge, instead of the pissy 0.6mm i was using, and ordered both 25 amp and 30 amp fuses with an inline holder, hopefully that will stop my wires overheating and the fuses blowing

guys please help, I have a 1000 watt hub, and a 4x12 volt 20ah sla battery pack, the fuse blows all the time, iv ordered some 12 gauge silicon wire for the batteries and a inline 20 amp fuse, I am using 13 amp household fuses and 0.6mm equipment wire like a noob, do you have any recommendations...

I have four 12 volt battaries running in a series, peak ampage of each is 4.6 amps, so would a 48 volt 20 amp be reasonable to hold the current and heat ?

spot on mate, the thin wires and bad fuse holder all contribute to the problems, some 12 gauge wire and a blade inline fuse holder with a 20 amp fuse the solution ?

12 gauge, like speaker wire ?, sorry for being a noob, also, how do I tell the ampage of my controller ?, it only says 1000 watts on the outside

I have installed a 1000 watt hub motor, with a 4x 12 volt battery in series, however, the wires keep running hot, in some cases, melting the spade connectors, and the fuse blew too, as the kit and fuse had no indication of ampage, I resorted to 13 amp household fuses, I go through around a pack...
