    SLA back up battery recommendation

    Is the discount price for this about $41? This is the price it starts with. I'm not seeing the discount price pop up as you say. Do I need a 'discount code"? Also, can I use the controller I already have? I got it from 'Dogman' and is a replacement that came with my Aetoma motor from about 5...

    SLA back up battery recommendation

    Okay I'm in Bay area California. What/who is a good source for RC Lipo or other lithium battery pack? I'm not going to put anything together. I just want to buy a five plus amp hour pack that will work with my controller 36 volt. If I can get the charger pretty cheap then that sounds good.

    SLA back up battery recommendation

    If I go to a local shop to ensure 'freshness' then the price of 3 8ah SLAs is not worth it (3x$35). On the other hand $17x3 or even less (from one of those battery outlet websites) seems worth it to spend as a back up to my lithium pack...but no guarantee of freshness! I'd be willing to spend...

    SLA back up battery recommendation

    I need a back up set of batteries which I'd like to be SLAs. I recently had a bad experience with Universal Batteries (3x12v 8ah and 9ah sets) in that they clearly had been sitting on a shelf for a long time and so didn't last very long, or in one case, dead upon arrival. I am using them...

    Does anyone have a contact for this person. He knows of a part I need for my battery pack. The email address I had for him is not working.

    Trouble shooting help needed

    If I did touch red to purple and damaged (controller ?) would I have seen, heard or smelled anything? I will try connecting 4.5 volt battery to test throttle as you suggest.

    Trouble shooting help needed

    I'm definitely not an electrician by any means. However, I know not to cut into live wires. On the other hand (this is where I probably am not so smart) I did start touching those wires (from throttle leading to the controller) to each other (with battery connected and controller switch on) to...

    Trouble shooting help needed

    I am suspecting throttle. I cut the throttle wire and I see four little wires (white, red, purple, black). I noticed -almost by accident- that when the black and purple wires touch a big spark occurs; nothing seems to happen when other wires touch. What can I do to determine whether or not the...

    Trouble shooting help needed

    Thanks. How can I test to be sure it is the controller? Especially if the lights on controller are on and blinking like normal and the throttle lights are on when battery is connected.

    Trouble shooting help needed

    Thanks. I don't know what, or if I have, a brake switch. I have a volt meter. Since the indicators on throttle light up, some of the wiring and connectors must be OK...but I need your help in understanding which wires/connectors those are.

    Trouble shooting help needed

    4 year old Aetoma front hub motor 750 watt, basic 4 year old stock Aetoma controller for 36v battery packs. Problem: turn throttle and nothing happens. History: for a couple of years would get occasional cut outs of power (less than 1/2 second) a few times per week. The frequency of this...

    life of battery

    Forgot to mention that I have the Aetoma front hub motor -probably new 3 years ago. It would seem it was their stock motor with a stock controller (36 volts).

    life of battery

    Thanks to everyone for their input. Yes, to the gentleman who included a link to the battery, it is in fact that same battery pack. Well, if I attempt to digest and integrate all of your input I ought to be happy if I make it to the end of this school year (June 2013) with this pack. Thanks, Jeff
