    so 5000m a/h would be the equivalent of what ive got now- if the charger is 12v does this mean i would hook this up direct to the panel? i dont know this gets more complicated the more i look at it-what ive got now works and i sort of understand it/ it dosnt present a serious fire risk- the...

    thanks for the link to hobbyking- only thing that worries me is they are rated in mah- millionamphere hour right? ive got two 20 a/h batts at the moment, this gives me a very good range,so how many would i need to keep the same range? with the charger-its looking a bit pricey?

    I also live in NSW and ordering Lipo / LiFe batteries is cheap and easy. It takes a few weeks but that's the price you pay for good value (and chinese labour). so where do you get your batts? easy yes- cheap? my sla's were $60 each delivered

    also just thought if my battery is discharging at 3% a day it would last quite awhile before it became useless right?

    the bit about drawing current from the panels sounds brilliant, all the ngative stuff ive red on the web was starting to make that sound impossible and i was consentrating on using them to charge. so it just a possitive and negative wire to the battery terminals, no charge controller and off...

    thanks how long would you expect a 200 watt panel to charge a 20 a/h battery from flat to full?

    im pretty slow as well, realy not worried about speed if i was i would buy a big car and knock it out in a couple of days, i thought about the shade thing but im worried the wind blast from the road trains might cause me to take off- does make sense though is two 12 volt batteries wired up to...

    im in dubbo- western nsw - but thanks for the offer. been whatching the sun alot recently and it gets overhead pretty quickly and is there for the bulk of the day- i can see how normal riding conditions can make pointing the panel at the sun a big problem but im going to be riding in a pretty...

    Golden Motor/Conhis Motor - same company??

    ive bought two kits from "sannykung" on ebay. ive received good service on both occasions(my controller with the first kit blew and they posted replacement) and their communication has been prompt and honest. im still fitting the second kit (both 24v 500 watt) but the first kit has proved to be...

    newbie only got 30 k's out of brand new hub motor

    just got back from the same 30k run that blew the original controller, was even riding into a strong headwind on the way out this time and it survived-didnt even get luke warm. the final stretch is up a long uphill drag, deliberately didnt pedal checked the temp at the top-nothing. so ever...

    newbie only got 30 k's out of brand new hub motor

    so if i fit a fan do i just direct air over the outer case or do i need to direct it through the internals? been running around on it on and of all day-this is fun! want to take it back out on the highway again for the same 30 km run that blew it last time-was i just unlucky or do you think i...

    newbie only got 30 k's out of brand new hub motor

    your right about it being addictive-ive just bought another one! ive installed it as well as i can now, cut off most of the dodgy connectors and soldered the joints, moved the controller into the air flow (but it is hot here, is there anything else i can do to keep it cool or generally make it...

    newbie only got 30 k's out of brand new hub motor

    got my replacement controller,fitted it onto my newly soldered loom and it now apears to run fine again. am i expecting to much of this thing? should it be able to run for as long as the batteries hold a charge? or is it going to bust its guts everytime i take it for a thirty k run? :oops:

    newbie only got 30 k's out of brand new hub motor

    definitely only 200 watt :lol: and its identical to the ones shown on the cohnismotor web site, they claim to manufacture them, so im going to claim its one, until i know diferent. ive soldered all the wires on the loom now to prevent any chance of a bad connection and moved the controller...
