Hi,
The battery I have for the moment doesn't have enough capacity for the controller/motor on my trike so I decided to build a current limiter with an arduino nano.
This is a beta version as I haven't tested it yet. I putting this here to see if anyone has an opinion to help me improve it...
Hi again,
The panel I have is http://www.going-green.gr/products/panels/Solarworld_200-225_poly.pdf
I already have a PWM controller but the LOAD output only support 3A. I could use it to switch a mosfet.
The RC hobby charger I have is only 60W (imax) and it would be a waste to use this on a...
Yes thanks it is an interresting approach!
I would then need a relay to cut the alimentation from the SLA battery when there's no sun but that sould'nt be a problem as I will be using a arduino to control the CC/CV from the converter to the 18650 batteries
I'm also wondering, how the solar...
Thanks Monstarr for the link, i'll look into that.
I do have a lot a space on my trike. There was two lead batteries there before.
As said here, a 2A charge on a 6.5Ahrs would not be sufficient to trigger the dV or dT so stopping before full charge isn't an option...
Amberwolf, i've read this on many article. here's an exemple ( http://www.gpsy.com/ev/2012/01/charging-prius-packs.html )

I do have an RC charger (imax b6) for my 18650 batteries but...
yes I've been reading quite a lot but the part I'm having a hard time getting info is: When exactly do I stop charging.
in this thread ( https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=6726 ), he seems to be only charging them at 8.3v and basta.
Others I've seen uses the same approach...
Hi,
I came across a free used prius battery (1st gen) and I want to extract 7 or 8 cells for my trike.
I've been looking around a little bit but can't figure out the right way to charge it. Anyone has experience with this?
Thanks!
yes that's what kind a figured out since then. Now i'm looking at the possibilities: either use the "3 speed mode" of the controller and disable the third speed or add a resistor on the throttle do decrease throttle voltage and therefore avoid going in the upper part of it.
Hi everyone,
I am building a battery pack for my e-trike. I've bought a lot of brand new laptop battery (DELL 650) that are "samsung icr18650-26f" 18650 cell (72 cell in total). As they are new and already soldered in 3P configuration, I was thinking in NOT de-soldered them and do capacity test...
