So ive been doing alot of reading on these cells, and generally they are a pain in the a@se. Not as easy as Lifep04 or lipo. Why do the car manufacturers use them? I want to draw 70amps continuous and max upto 150amps. And they can be bloody dangerous enough to set your house on fire or...

This is the absolute NUTS! I cant wait for you to finish this. Inspiring me to do mine! http://www.ebay.com/itm/03-04-05-Honda-Civic-Hybrid-Integrated-Motor-Assist-IMA-motor-1A240-PZA-305-/230957961730?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35c62ad202&vxp=mtr could a similar thing be...

The thing is i have 24 calb 40ah cells which put together are bulky and heavy. Im hoping to strip the battery pack down and reconfigure the cells to run 28/29volts which means putting them in series and parallel. Where would i start? would each cell pack in parallel need a separate charger...

Ok everyone so i managed to buy a hybrid battery pack for cheap! i mean i paid £150 for a LEXUS MODEL CT200 HYBRID BATTERY CELL PACK, this has 28 NIMH 7.2v cells which are 6.5ah. My plan is to strip it down and somehow use them for my bike project...

Man why is this so hard! Dogman i'm using a 2006 aprilia rs 125 as my testing chasis, i think jozztech did the same type of build using headways? Your right is saying ill need a gigantic pack hence why im trying to find something that will suit my needs. At a guess what the hell would i need...

I'm confused guys in which batteries to use, i went and purchased 24 calb se40aha which are quite large and heavy for my bike project. Now after searching through endless sphere and looking into ttxgp technology more people are using Lipo it seems. Now i have an alltrax 7245 controller and a...

deciding going to use the lem-200 to drive my cafe racer bike, 24calb 40ah cells in series with an alltrax 7245 controller. If anyone has used this motor what are your thoughts on it? Can my batteries cope?

Just for anyone interested in what both motors look like together. Look very similar, Lm200 is the black matted one. Having some mad ideas about how i can use both of these motors.

Maaaaaaannnnn, what a pain :? think i just best email Headway and tell them what i need see if what they can do for me? Surely they will be able to do that all for me.

Thanks everyone this is all really helpful, so plan if action is as follows: 1. Buy 6 more 40ah cells (yes they are the se range SE40AHA) http://www.ev-power.eu/CALB-40Ah-400Ah/SE40AHA-Lithium-Cell-LiFePO4-3-2V-40Ah.html 2. Stick all of them in parallel for about a week ad let them do there...

Sounds like a plan Dogman, i want to be able to go at least 40miles per charge and want a fast charger, those cellogs look ideal and very handy for me i think ill order a couple to help keep an eye on the cells. i was thinking i would put 15 cells in series to make 54volts (if each cell was at...

Thanks Jeremy that sound like an obvious solution, so i can put all the batteries in parallel, therefore all the voltages will (in theory) balance and charge themselves, and i dont need a BMS? Ill be sure to put a multimeter across each battery to check there voltages. Ill also check out the...

Hi Dnmun, i just bought a chassis, building a cafe racer type bike. I also have two lynch motors which are rated at 24volts (30 volts max) 4000rpm and 200amps peak, again i have to find a suitable controller. Cedric Lynch advised me to use the motors in series needing 48volts. Its about...
