Hi was wondering if you could give some details of anything that needed to be done on this? I was looking at a 2008 glory 0 to put on a bbshd (will be my second build). First was an easy bolt on to an old cannondale of mine. Dont have much machining abilities and wondering if this is easy to...

With lack of information on people using this I ended up going with the Bafang mid drive unit in mid summer. I have had I think three controller failures on the unit but happy to say it is working well now (I did cut the max current down by one amp on the contoller). It has been quite a bit of...

Curious to get some input. Purchased my first BBS02 kit. Had a string of bad controllers. First ran for 40 miles or so. FET Died, probably from my driving in hindsight. Second from another vendor (while I send the first one back) arrives DOA, sent back third works for another 40 miles...

I thought that was advice for Lipo chemistry. I partially bought the cycle satiator because I thought the claims of increased longevity of 80 percent charging lithium batteries also increased the life only to find out on further inquiry that only applied to lipos. (what is SOC and DOD by the way?)

Wondering if there is a general good/bad way to maintain an LIFEPO4 battery pack for longevity of cells? Here is what I have: 48V 16s 10Ah 38120S LiFePO4 Headway Battery Pack (with BMS) Cycle Satiator charger (its just plain fun to use...) What is the general philosphy for best pack life (or...

I left the charger at the beach house, cant get that right now. Voltage was the same as when it was originally supplied to my recollection. The battery is a 16 cell (assuming 8 series/2 parallel). Individual cells all report 3.294 volts and 52.7 across both the charge and run wire

I opened the battery pack up to look at it. Each cell is balanced and showing 3.294 volts and 52.7 across both the charge and run wire. I forgot the charger out of town, do not have it right now but I could charge through the run cable. Is it safe to assume that the BMS card is bad? Also...

So far I have verified the charger works. I ran it for an hour on the "run" cable for the battery bypassing the bms. Charge is showing and matching on both the charge set of cables and the run set of cables. I think i cut the charger out at 51 Volts plus or minus. Seems to be something with...

New Bafang system purchased from elifebike with battery and charger. Only about 50 miles of use. Noticed what appeared to be charger not working properly after a few uses. Battery seems to operate unit fine however upon hooking charger to battery the charger tells me immediately that the...

Really need some help from someone who can direct me what to do. Bought a new controller and had it shipped in, same issue, no power in any of the three modes (Throttle, PAS, or walking mode). Display shows no errors. Tried disconnecting brake sensors. Switched twist throttle for thumb...

Blue and yellow test at 10 +/- immediately. Green bounces all over the place, sometimes 40-50k ohm, sometimes 10ths of an ohm and doesnt seem to want to stabilize. Is green considered in this or is this a ground?

Looking deeper, mechanically I see no issues inside the motor with the gears. The stator seems in very close contact with the rotor though, not sure what tolerances there should be. I need some guidance for checking the MOSFETs and motor if anyone can provide some guidance. I have the three...

Frank, thank you for your help. Wondering if you can provide a little more guidance here. Which plug is being removed, the main harness or the one with the screen? Is there a map that shows which is the battery connection. I seem to see people refer to the display as the controller...

I have a 965 also. Apparently there are multiple versions of the same unit. My unit displays a small brake symbol when I grab a brake handle. I do not however show any power consumption data, which is what I wanted when I paid extra for the unit!
