"See the E-cat run in self-sustained mode" http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3264362.ece I've been following this mess a couple of months now and still don't know what to think, I guess we'll find out sooner or later.

I've been looking at the 2.5A single cell charger from batteryspace, http://www.batteryspace.com/smart-charger-2.5a-for-3.2v-1cells-lifepo4-battery-pack.aspx, but how can I tell if this is an isolated charger or not? Anyone got any experience with one of these and care to comment? Thanks!

I'm gonna try to see if I can get rid of my temporary zip-tie battery pack mounting solution this weekend so I finally dare to run some more cycles on the pack. Hopefully after that I'll have some idea of whether the charger/BMS is behaving properly or not, despite that the charger keept...

I decided to go with the Ping BMS (v1) and charger (2.5 A) and now that I've finally gotten my pack together and taken my first ride today, I got some more questions about charging that I hope someone perhaps could answer: First off, is a high pitch noise from chargers common or did I just have...

I don't know if I should be inspired, or just scared, by this guy's build. But after stumbling upon it I thought I should at least share it with you headway builders. Images: http://fagges.freehostia.com/Bildgalleri%20p%e5%20n%e4tet/EL-Cykel%20V2/index.html Build log (in Swedish)...

Since I'm a first time pack builder myself I though I might as well ask in this thread. How do you guys usually mount the BMS inside your packs? There aren't any mounting holes on the Signalab PCB so I'm thinking about just basically wrapping it up, add some duct tape and call it a day. But...

I too can recall the excitement... got my package yesterday! I had a good laugh reading your post since I thought I had it bad when the status for my order only said "sent", without them ever providing me with a tracking number. It would have been so frustrating to just see a "Processing"...

I'm just getting started with building a pack using the Ping BMS and this was news to me. How often is it recommended to recharge the pack when not using it regularly then?

I'm considering building a 12s Headway pack and was also wondering about chargers and their output voltage. I'm thinking about going for the Ping V1.0 BMS and getting a charger from him while I'm at it. However, his chargers are rated at 45V which is 3.75V per cell and thus higher than the...

This sounds like an interesting project, sure hope you keep us updated on the progress! Btw, where are you getting loose parts for electric skateboards, e.g. large trucks, wheels with the built in teeth etc.? I was thinking of building one myself, though simpler of course (4wd sounds like a...

Lock: Nah, you're correct in assuming that these decks are not intended for ollies etc. I find that they're a bit heavy for those kinds of tricks. I'm not really considering adding a handles to it though, since what I'm after is a fun way to get to work at morning. And in that regard, I really...

Hi there, I'm quite new to these forums and first of all, I've got to say thanks to everyone for making it such a great start for everyone who wants to get hooked on EV:s in any form. I was initially googling for a good place get some replacement SLA batteries for my electric skateboard when I...
