    Hall Sensor Selection

    Knuckles, I'm wondering why you aren't just using Keywin's sensorless brushless controller? Is that controller just not able to handle the higher voltage you are running or something? My sensorless brushless controller is the 36v/48v model and it seems to be working just fine.

    Another 36V Li-ion Battery : BOSCH !!

    I can't seem to find these at Home Depot or Lowes. I think they have quit carrying them. I would like to take a look at them just to see if there is any way to attach some wires to the terminals. Has anyone actually seen one of these close up enuff to tell whether you can get some quick...

    Where to buy B&B BP SLA's 12ah+ 12v?

    Yeah, I've had trouble finding BB batteries locally myself. Try Dash Computers in Kansas at 800-844-7620. They have the BP series. Nice guy to talk to there also. They had just started carrying BB batteries a few months ago and he shipped me three at a very reasonable price. I've forgotten...

    48 volt to 36 volt

    I just re-read your post and realized I didn't comment on the second part of your question. The AH ratings of SLA batteries and other chemistries such as LifePO$ are really not comparable. SLA batteries sag a lot more and most people say you really can't expect to draw out more than about 60%...

    48 volt to 36 volt

    I woudn't pay too much attention to the yellow light. My guess is that the motor and controller will work just fine at 36 volts. I run my 400 series motor and 20 amp crystalite controller at 36 volts. The yellow light on the throttle is set to come on when the voltage sags down to a set...

    R/C Hobbiest, worker, bicyclist...

    Welcome, Three 7ah SLA batteries running in series at 36 volts will get you about 6 or 7 miles wide open throttle with no pedalling with a 20 amp controller. That's assuming a fairly flat terrain and a 200 pound rider. You'd have to help them by pedalling even on fairly small hills. I don't...

    36V/48V 600W sensorless and brushless controller

    I bought two of these back in May when Keywin first posted about it. Been running one ever since then on a X-Lyte 408 with bad hall sensors. Works just fine. I went ahead and replaced bad sensors in a second 408, so I'm not actually using the sencond one yet. Keeping it as a back up. Who...

    Another 36V Li-ion Battery : BOSCH !!

    Sure would be nice to know whether the BMSs will need to be bypassed (like the Dewalts) or whether the BMS will work ok unaltered like the MIlwaukee's. Sure would be nice if they have some sort of available connector blocks like Milwaukee or if the connectors on them are such that they could at...

    Crystalyte Hub availability - who have it in stock

    I have A Crystalyte 408. You can only hear the very slightest whirring if you listen closely. Virtually silent.

    Will a 36v LED throttle work at 48 volts?

    I'd like to add a battery and give 48 volts a try. My motor and controller can handle 48v. I realize I could just cut the 36 volt throttle wire and do without the LED lights and the throttle should still function ok, but I hate to do that if I don't have to. That light is my reminder to be...

    Seeking The "Most Cost Effective" Battery

    Hey Pwbset, How are you attaching the wiring to those Ryobi packs? I can't figure out how that would easily be done.

    SHENZHEN Controller Installation Stories

    Does anyone know where we can order matching connectors for the Shenzhen controller. Couldn't find anything local for the first controller and I got a bit tired of switching to Andersons. It would be nice if we could order the mating connectors somewhere. Anybody know where?

    Yesa vs Ping packs

    The Yesa website shows the maximum discharge current as 25 amps for the 36v 10ah pack. Depending on how many amps your controller/motor need, the 10ah Yesa pack might not be enough for you. I know some people who bought the 10ah Ping pack found that it cut out on them and they really should...

    Differences in SLA batteries

    Here's my experience for what its worth. I've tried 4 different sets of SLAs I have a crystalyte 408 motor on a cruiser bike (a lot of wind resistance) and I weigh 215 pounds and don't pedal much at all. I started out with B B brand batteries--EP series. B B batteries are probably the most...

    a123's for $12 each

    Knuckles, So, Are you saying the cells in your post with the Alibaba link are A123s? The link says they are "HPB" brand. I don't see anything that says they are A123s. Am I missing something here? I think your ALIBABA link post is the one that CGameProgrammer was referring to as not...

    36V/48V 600W sensorless and brushless controller

    To my puny little Newbie brain, this controller sounds like it might be just the thing to get one of my Crystalyte 408 motors with broken hall sensors running again. What do you guys think. Worth taking a chance on? Does it sound like it might be more or less equivalent to the sensorless...

    Need help diagnosing Clyte problem

    Fetchter, Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. After confirming that the hall wires from the controller down to the motor connection are ok, I decided that I may as well get a "Pedal first" controller and just go ahead and get a new throttle while I'm at it. I'm a little leery of...

    Need help diagnosing Clyte problem

    Thanks for straigtening me out. Rather than a brushed controller, I should have said "sensorless brushless" controller. I'm still learning. So, are you saying that both of my controllers have the same problem hence the symptoms are the same with both oif them? Do you think the hall sensors...

    Need help diagnosing Clyte problem

    I'm an avid reader for about a year now. Spend hours a day at it. (I really should get a job, huh?) I've enjoyed getting to know you guys and have learned a lot. Thanks. I do miss Xyster, though I'm on my second 408 front motor kit. After about 4 months, I developed a hall sensor problem...

    Crystalyte Hall sensor replacement

    I had started a thread over on the general discussion page about this same thing. I'll just switch over to this thread. I have a hall sensor problem also. I sure am glad you guys are a bit ahead of me on replacing one. I am just about to order one (Thanks for the tip on where to get it.)...

    Need advice on my latest Christalyte 408 problem

    Thanks for responding guys, The hall connector in the controller is a white plastic one. I checked it as well as the connector on the motor end and they both look ok. No bent pins or anything. And the continuity check on the wire between the two connectors checks out ok. I'm afraid the...

    Need advice on my latest Christalyte 408 problem

    Been reading the forum every day for the last couple of months since I bought a 408 brushless front motor kit--36 Volt 20 amp controller with a lighted 36v thumb throttle. You guys are addictive. Anyway, The latest problem appears to be a hall sensor problem. Whenever you hit the throttle...

    Cheap battery alternitives to SLA?

    All-Battery seems to almost always have 30 Nimh F cells at 14ah on Ebay for $345 shipped. The picture is for untabbed, but the small print says tabbed is an option. That would get a single string of 30 cells for 36v 14ah for building a relatively uncomplicated-easy to charge pack. Not as cheap...
