I should have clarified my lack of technical experience, but I think I posted some details here: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=74524 Hmm, seems like a good idea, I'll do that, thanks.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I have this lipo battery I bought a while ago that's only survived one charge and hasn't worked since, but I'm not sure what to do with it. I don't want to just throw it away, only having used it once. Can I do anything with it?

I'm not sure what else I could show you honestly :s I'm new to all of this. Near cincinnati, if that helps any.

Yeah, I'm all new to this, would it be worth it to figure out the problem vs buying a new battery? The bike still runs with the battery, it's just slower now since the voltage is lower. It never just cut off on me or anything.

Wow, what should I do then?

Well, my battery is nearly drained, shouldn't that be expected? I haven't been really measuring my battery in any detail before now, but the first time I charged it the battery charged fine. I charged it fully, and my battery read around 50V and that voltage decreased as I used it, which is...

Ah, I see, I got some voltage from my the battery side, 32ish Volts, so that means the battery is fine, right? I do get voltage from the charger's side also, so I would need to get a new charger? Where could I find one at? Well, I'm going by my bike's LCD, right now my battery is close to...

So how would I check my battery?

I'm guessing I just plug the charger in the wall and test the end terminals? I get 54v, does that mean the charger is good?

It seems my battery isn't charging anymore, it still discharges fine from its last charging when it could charge. The charger stays green when I connect it to the battery, only when it turns red is when the battery is actually charging, right? I noticed this after I left it on the charger for...

Hmm, that's really weird as it was working fine before... Where would be a good place to look for generic controllers?

Yep, that's what happened. :/ Any idea what caused this? I did noticed my controller was very hot when this happened. Also, any idea what I can do to prevent this? And where can I get a new one?

Hmm, I'm not very experienced with electronics and such. What do you mean by me having a "phase grounded"?

Hi again, I have a new problem with my new motor. At first my ebike ran very well, clean, quiet, and fast, with only one hiccup. Sometimes when I started my ebike and hit the throttle, the motor spinned but it met massive resistance, causing me not to gain any speed at all and my bike vibrates...

Alright, I'll try it, and thanks for the heads up. :) This is a pretty big lithium battery (nearly as heavy as the bike's motor w/ wheel), I'm sure it won't be pretty if something like that happens to it.
