    Please HELP me!!

    Thanks for the input iamsofunny... My controller to battery connection is across the cycle analyst shunt and the wires soldered together, so I think that eliminates your first suggested scenario... Could there be arc slag on my throttle plug/connector (what does it (slag) look like and how...

    Please HELP me!!

    Good news and bad news. Seems it was moisture/water in the throttle pin after all so I dried it out and everything was working flawlessly! I managed to make my longest trip ever on a bicycle yesterday: 95km using an average of 7.3wh/km! Bad news: I was riding back home today (few hours ago)...

    Please HELP me!!

    So I unplugged pin 3 (throttle) from the control cable hub that comes with mp3, and then proceeded to plug in the 48v pack. Result: 2 tiny twitches not even a reading on the CA. I waited and nothing more. I then proceeded to blow inside the male and female portions of the throttle cable (very...

    Please HELP me!!

    Very interesting responses... I really appreciate the input. Am looking into both of your suggestions as we speak. I must say: this was a truly scary moment! Lifting the back of the bike is a feat in itself as I had two 48v 20ah pack on the rear rack plus the heavy mp3 motor, and no good place...

    Please HELP me!!

    I am really confused and have a serious problem here... This morning I plug in my magic pie 3 equipped bike to my 48v battery, and the thing basically takes off at 400w (not exaggerating saw the reading on my cycle analyst)!I managed to lift the back wheel fast enough to not let it pull it...

    I have a problem...

    So after all I did find a place locally that had "anderson" (tyco) 50amp multipole connectors. Bought four and installed them (2 on battery packs and two on y splitter...). Controller is limited at 45amps. With the two 48v20ah in the rear pannier bag feels like I am driving a tugboat or...

    I have a problem...

    Free end of the cable is already mated with the cycle analyst shunt... I am really not sure what to do... Any other ideas? I would love to keep the ability of plugging one or both of the battery packs. If the packs had the right connectors I could do this right now. So to clear things up to...

    I have a problem...

    So I received my two 48v 20ah packs that I ordered from Victpower in Hong Kong only to find out the the 30a powerpole connector cables I bought from ebikes.ca are not the same as the 50a multipoles that are on the battery... I bought the y splitter for putting two batteries in parallel and...

    Quick question about A123 packs

    Figured I should post a quick update. Ended up going with victpower as suggested. Absolutely mindblowing prices. I am really new to this but it seems obvious that I would not be doing any harm in recommending everyone jumps on this while they still can. I bought two 48v 20ah assembled pack...

    Quick question about A123 packs

    Thanks for the replies... the more I think about it the better it looks. How many cells would one use to get an equivalent of 48v? Are lifepo4 usually charged to 3.3 or 3.9? Much love
