    EVG mini E-bike 36V Ni-Mh to LiPo conversion. Orig Batt box.

    A copy of my latest email about selling the EVG min folder. FYI Hi Mike, Your questions. "What condition is it in? How long have you had it. How much are you asking for it, etc?". The condition is like new, Original tires have perfect tread and even the warning label on the folding feature...

    EVG mini E-bike 36V Ni-Mh to LiPo conversion. Orig Batt box.

    Kauaikit, that's some collection. I think I should rename myself Mililani-kid (Oahu) for respect or comfortableness, (is that a word)? I have two EVG E-Bike mini folders, one yellow one black, they are like new and stored indoors. I also have 5-7 full size 26" wheeled bikes from the same maker...

    Balance charging a 10S LiPo with a Thunder 1220 charger.

    I tried that but the charger gave me its' middle finger. I'm pretty sure I do need to fabricate a solution to this issue. I just can't get my head around what the 10S able charger wants to see to make this work. BK

    EVG mini E-bike 36V Ni-Mh to LiPo conversion. Orig Batt box.

    Thanks for the input. I was thinking about the same thing but cannot find a 10S BMS that is readily available or simple. Are you privy to these devises? Also if so, do they have the ability to prevent over charging a cell during the 2 amp bulk charge cycle and also detect a cell going south or...

    EVG mini E-bike 36V Ni-Mh to LiPo conversion. Orig Batt box.

    Great input fellows. My real concerns is that charger being in the battery case and not having enough ventilation, second how to balance the RC li-pos from time to time, 3rd how to inform the operator about SOC "state of charge"? I think the OEM system is calibrated for a 24V SLA system, this...

    EVG mini E-bike 36V Ni-Mh to LiPo conversion. Orig Batt box.

    I converted one so far of the two I have and man is it peppy and quick. The stock gearing is definitely geared for 24V applications. I don't know where to go from here. I could curb it back with 24V (29V) li-pos, I could up the front chain ring size for more assisted speed, or sell as-is as...

    EVG mini E-bike 36V Ni-Mh to LiPo conversion. Orig Batt box.

    Ok here's the situation. I'm talking about two nearly zero mile EVG small folding E-Bikes (20" wheels) that I bought many years ago. They both started life as 24V Lithium machines (pioneering in its' decade) from the builder. There were a few consumer charging mishaps (read fires) that forced...

    Balance charging a 10S LiPo with a Thunder 1220 charger.

    I have this charger; http://www.hobbypartz.com/75p-1220-charger.html It's 12S capable and has two balance ports, 1-6 then a separate port for 7-12. My issue is the 10S battery i'm trying to balance charge is really 2-5S batteries in series with two separate 5S balance leads...

    Bosch 36V fatpacks opened up

    FYI the "BMS" isn't a bms at all. It only contains circuitry for the 3 segment led display and a thermo sensor. Both the power tool and charger engage the battery directly with no interference outside of a stock 60amp fuse. BK

    Bosch 36V fatpacks opened up

    Ambrose, yes I use the stock Bosch charger. All packs are striped down and no problem charging, just use one BMS on the charger. Plug the charger in after you hook up your packs and expect a small spark on the last battery connection. BK

    Bosch 36V fatpacks opened up

    Both of my Bosch chargers go up to 41.2V, is it a different revision? Dunno. It does this when charging a single BAT832 or 5 in paralle, no difference except charge time of corse. Any one else experence this? My OTC multimeter is accurate as I've used flukes to compare with identical results...

    EV Global (EVG) w/Ebike Rear Kit

    Did you guys try running the stock motor off 48v before switching it out? I'm running 48v with a cheap Chinese controller and it's awesome. Still has the Heinzman whine but pulls any hill and top speed is about 25mph.
