That isn't an equation. It has to equal something, such as (LVC + P5)/3.77=1 I don't understand why they are formating it like this, instead of just P5=xxxxxx Like if it was (LVC + P5)/3.77=1 then solve for P5 (if LVC is 40) 40+P5=3.77 P5=-36.23 If it was (LVC + P5)/3.77=0 (multiply both...

Oh, I see. So the LVC isn't changeable on the LCD1. P5 was set to 15 for me, I changed it to 0 and it shows full battery now. I'll see if it's more accurate over time and try 10-15 if not. I still don't understand what they're trying to say how to calculate it. LVC+P5/3.77 40+P5/3.77...

Can anyone decipher these poorly translated instructions? I'm running a 12s(44.4v) battery, so the default setting for a 48v battery shows my battery as low all the time. And I'd prefer 42v lvc if possible. From the manufacturers manual: http://www.szktdz.com/en/news_show.php?article_id=374...

The controller wires are too short, the connectors would have to be all out of the bag, plus the tons of ugly colored wires. Maybe my OCD is just a little too strong :wink: Cool, I didn't realize they(my local hardware store, actually) sold it by the foot for cheap. Thought I would have to...

I just started re-wiring my controller. There's so much conflicting information everywhere. I'd rather get advice from an e-bike specific source. My controller is rated for 13A/26A burst. What size wire is safe to use for my battery connector, 1-2ft long. I thought I had some 12 awg wire...

I have my controller and batteries in my triangle bag right now. It's okay for short rides, but for longer rides it gets hot. I can't keep my finger on it for more than 2-3 seconds hot. Especially with summer coming, it will be worse. So I need to mount it somewhere it can get some airflow...

Ok, I tried another PSU and it works at 4.5A, without any load on the 3v or 5v. So if that's the case, it would just turn off entirely instead of dropping to 10-11v? These extra PSUs I have are really old, from the Pentium 4 era. The second PSU is working at 4.5A, staying at 11v. Is this unsafe?

hmmm, yes, I may try putting a load on the 5v rail and see if it improves. I found I can charge at up to 3.5A with the PSU staying at over 10v.

I bought this charger thinking it would charge twice as fast as my 50w ac charger that I already had. So you're saying I have to buy a 20v+ power supply to use it to its full capability? It's not possible with any 12v pc power supply? I have a few more I was going to try.

I got this charger http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=74030 With these batteries http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=64439 I'm trying to use an old PC power supply. It's rated for 18A on the 12v rail. So I should be able to...

Don't have any before pictures, because it was never a whole bike before :D

I've never seen more than 1 device connected to a batter, do you just connect it like... parallel with the controller?

Nice blog. I have a light that looks exactly like yours, but the battery "pack" is the size of a single 18650 cell. Should I therefore assume that I need to use 4v instead of 8v if I do something similar to you? Also can you show how you connected it to your battery? Thanks :)

nice, I got my 10ah ones in August, used them to brake my elbow in September, so they've been sitting there unused til this week. Should have just saved my money and got those now :lol:
