My new battery after the fire - with loop key to turn on/off - and stitched on two extra straps to hold the battery weight, for safety Just put winter tyres with spikes on the ebikes. Wish you all safe rides :D Tor

That's a good safety advice - thanks :) For now I will close my battery plugs with tape. I have had a hard time finding a connector that matches XT90s (solid+takes water splash+easy plug/unplug+high capacity+OK to solder+antispark) I have used Anderson and xt60, but they are not the same...

Just installed my xt90s loop key - works like a charm :D * Bike now only works with loop key plugged in * Lights (front and rear) come on automatically when I plug in the loop key * GPS tracker has power directly from the bike battery, also when loop key is out Simple and low cost I thank the...

Is there a reason why the loop key has to be the female plug? The battery side shall normally have the female plug, since this gives less risk that the plug by accident is shorted. Consequently, I would have thought that it would be the same when using an xt90s as loop key? I.e. on the wire...

Amazing job from Endless-sphere stopping the multiple propaganda attempts from this Chinese player in this thread - THANKS :D Don't buy low quality batteries - play safe

Low quality batteries can be dangerous! Thanks guys - for spreading this information. In my case - no one were injured and the house did not burn down - luckily

Representative commenting "under cover" on this forum - that's funny :lol: Nice try - but you underestimate people on this forum 8)

Attached another photo of burnt bike battery.

I will minimize risk of battery fire by trying to find a supplier with reputation of delivering quality. I probably made a mistake when I went for the lowest price See attached photos

Thanks for your good advise guys. I am currently looking at batteries from Lunacycle.com or em3ev.com

According to my friend it burned until he used the fire extinguisher. It was like fireworks. Seems like the aluminum frame might survive. I have built seven ebikes - this last one I helped a friend build of parts we ordered together from China - including 3 motors and 5 batteries. The motors...

The 52v 14Ah battery I bought from, caught fire and burned. Also the battery did not deliver more than 9,5 Ah, less than the promised 14Ah. Actually, none of the low cost batteries I bought from China delivered the Ah's as promised. My next battery will come from someone who is known for...

No injuries- thanks But I am glad it did not happen in a garage!

The battery suddenly caught fire after a few minutes riding :( I bought this 52V 14Ah Dolphin ebike battery No signs of damage or heating before it happened. Normally such fires are due to short circuit within the battery. However, the battery only delivered 9,5Ah and not the 14Ah as...

Kevin at http://www.btn-ebike.com who sold me the kit says the extra cables are for gear sensor and light :idea: He told me to watch their site - they will soon sell light and gear sensor to connect to these cables. I guess the rest of the cabling goes like this...
