I know this has been covered all over the place but I can't seem to find a clear and concise answer to this. I am running a tidalforce 750x on the B battery (which is a self built headway 12s1p pack 43.8v). I connect to the bikes controller via andersons and right now get a spark when i...

I've got 12 brand new 38120s (10ah) that i didn't use because i found 10ah was plenty for my commute. It only gets you halfway there to the 24 you need. But they are in CA, PM me if you have any interest.

Foxx seems to be a subsidiary of Skeuter. (http://skeuter.com/condor/) I bought one of Skeuter's First Condors, at the time when the Lithium batteries were not yet available. I love the bike, and Zane has always been very helpful, but it seems to be a fairly small operation as of yet...

Has anyone rode one of the Trikes built by this guy: http://www.ffrtrikes.com/electric_trikes They look fast, Although i think i prefer a hub motor just for asthetic reasons though the motor mount he machined look pretty sweet.

Personally, I think troubleshooting Pack balancing is an essential part of building a functional pack. BMS's are a part of the pack are they not? anyway... I attempted Daks series resistor amp restriction on the charger this weekend. It seemed to be working fairly well but I could not...

All electronics Corp. they have several kinds but this looks like the one you pictured http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/ACS-48/IEC-POWER-RECEPTACLE/1.html

Doc, How'd you wire these up? You running 48volt?s Just wondering, I am running a 36 volt pack (12 cells) so id need two, but not sure how to wire them up and if they can handle the 43.8 v fully charged pack.

1: Asked my supplier he said he believed BMS Shunts around 3.7v (which makes sense and is similar to the 3.69v of the Goodrum/Fetcher BMS), I also checked individual cell voltage and felt the shunts for warmth. 2: I have BMS from KAE 3: I did not fully charge the battery because 2 cells were...

I think it is important to discuss surface voltage and charging voltage here. Anyone qualified to discuss the aspects of these concepts (coz i ain't). I've found that the Chinese LifePO4 chargers are fairly inconsistent, had to return 2 before i found one that seems to work. Another issue is...

Any updates on the BM16? not seeing anything on the chargery site and id really love to be able to monitor cell votalge in my 12 pack without breaking out the voltmeter.

I've noticed your polyfuses before Dak, Never used them before and don't know much about what they are or do, can you explain briefly and tell me the part number you used. (i seem to remember you used them between 6 and 7th cell or your 12 pack to split the string is this correct and do you...

Less what kind of controller/motor combo you using. My TidalForce 750x pulls about 25 amps constant and has gone up to about 30 (i think it might go further too). So 25amps might be a bit low for me. I might be able to get away with a 30 but i think 40 is more in my neighborhood. Am I...

Preston, Nice pack looks, similar to my tool box! I noticed the fuse at the end of the pack, what Amp fuse is that? and where did you acquire the fuse holder. ? I have none installed at the moment but it seems like a reasonable upgrade to make with around a 50amp fuse or so.

Sorry this is the view of the cutting boards

Just wanted to throw some pics up here to show my build. Still working out the kinks, have had a few failures, chocked up mostly to loose wiring, still working on a proper balance. Following Jules' lead I found some cheap cutting boards at the 99cents store and drilled out my spacers. The...
