will the bms work with a 'bad boy' charger? how much ripple can it tolerate?

The biggest questions in my mind are: 1. Can the batteries handle the current peaks of an unfiltered rectifier or triac without shortening their life? If no, then we need filtering. I think that the size/weight of an inductor needed to make a pi filter might limit the portability of the...

I was thinking about doing almost the same thing. Would you need any filtering at all? or is there some reason that the cells or bms cant handle the noise from the rectifier or dimmer switch? something like this would work well for me because there is an outdoor outlet that is right by the bike...

I like the sound of this. Where can I find a hall effect throttle? How do I tell what type of throttle I have already? what are the different types of throttles? This sounds really cool to me. Is this something that someone has done already? if so, could someone link me a diagram or schematic...

Thanks for all the replies! Since this will only happen at maximum speed, and I dont really plan on riding at max speed all the time, Im not really worried about this. All work and no play makes shredator build electric bikes :wink: What is the highest voltage/top speed that I can run...
