    Severed wire on battery connector

    I hooked up my battery to my charger last night, and even though the LED kicked on the fan never did. Then I noticed that the connector lead to the battery looked like the shrinked wrapped red wire had been damaged. I can pretty much pinch through it. Before I tear into these wires, should I...

    Controller just stopped, but can be "rebooted"

    I suppose now would be a good time to get a meter. Stupid question #77, with this voltage meter, I can stuff the probes directly into the Anderson power pols right?

    Helpful topic. I'm a total NOOB! My setup: BMC 600W w/ BMC 48V controller - 48V15AH LiFePO4 I've got about 100 miles on this setup. Bad news, I think my controller died. I was heading down the road when all of sudden I lost power, and the Cycle Analyst went dead. The controller was pretty...

    cool battery box

    Thanks Zoot Katz. You have some brilliant suggestions there. I'm looking at a BMC V2 with a 48V 20 AH setup. It looks like the smaller sized scooter trunks will a hold battery this size. If I port out one these trunks, and aim the airflow properly (inflow and exhaust), I'm wondering if I...

    cool battery box

    I just took a peak at ebay for scooter trunks and there are scads of neato glossy finished/small boxes. If I get into this ebike thing, I might going this route.
