Hamilton Vic 3300 is anyone who wants to pop around and give me a hand. Your reply sounds promising 99t4 if it is only a battery I'd probably just buy one. Not sure what a DVOM is but I've got a common basic voltmeter and will see if can probe under the battery somewhere for a reading. In...

The battery was removed and left off for a few days and the bike was in warm conditions of the mild sun to dry. The battery indicator light doesn't light anymore. I've changed but not sure it even charges or does anything. Not sure of a fuse have to have a look. 7m wide, the depth was up to my...

It's obvious e-bikes don't like going through water. I got myself in a spot crossing the Murray River Billabong just thought wasn't so deep and I could hold the bike up and walk across I got in too deep fast and then quickly got to the other side it was only about 7 meters wide. I got on the...

Rectanglar LiPo custom built pack by a forum member enthusiast for an E-bike!

I'm hearing ya! And copping a wrap over the nuckles! Some big lessons learnt here. I just didn't have much knowledge of this stuff but I'm up to pa now! Least I will put some better preventative measures in place next time. Notice I said next time :D it hasn't scared me off the horse I mean...

Oh, ok so they're link posts. On first quick look thought it was a bunch of data dribble. You have put my link on there now! Good to see you're using it as an example. Cause i MUST WARN these things are dangerous, if that was in a house today or someone else's house even worse unattended...

Went with a 2000Watt Kit from Hyena and a custom made 36v, think was 15amp hr pack, because he is here in Australia. Now that it is revealed in fire i can see that it appears to be six cells pack about 2.5 x 2 x 6 inches in size each.

I had given the pack a couple of little attempts to charge in the last couple weeks through a 12volt car battery and inverter but the car battery was weak and it did not charge fully. I did this about three other times until today. It was on the 200 watt generater way bout an hour last night...

Cant get that link to ignite! Doesn't seem to load the right page! Wouldn't mind having a read of it after this dramatic event!

Yep it's a bit sad. Lot of money goes in :D but hell it was fun riding in the breeze. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_polymer_battery

The reason must have been (with hindsight), the battery was left on the bike at a house for 12 months, previously it was a brand new kit and battery had been charged every time, topped up each night after riding during the day. Since it not being in use I finally got back to pick up my bike. I...

My 36volt Lithium Polly Battery Pack blew Up today into a ball of flames! Very dangerous things!!! After seeing this first hand, don't ever leave one unattended in a house or a friends house charging! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: evil things!!!

Just wanted to post to say its good to see someone that has passion for what they do and the story from the early begginings. Glad I was able to entrust hyena to build me a system for "dummies" and to just get on and start riding leveraging not having to go through all the experimental stages...

Ok, Thanks for that! Is there anything wrong with the practicalities of a possible two 36Volt system, with a switch on a currently charging 36Volt pack effectively changing it as a 12Volt pack ONLY while charging? While either parked or riding using the other batteries energy. I generally get a...

A 12 Volt battery would not be to much to add on. Is a second battery to level out the amp, etc while it's charging so it's more constant? I have got 195 wat in cell wattage in total and could be built in any shape and quiet thin and foldable. I spent some time researching into the links...
