    which electronic component is defective?

    Left my 72V brushless motor bike sitting for 1.5 years rusting away in the carport. Its been ultra reliable in the time ive used it. Battery full. Greentime controller. When I first tried it it doesnt work of course, rust everywhere. So I checked and redid all the wiring, but forgot my...

    ironmonkey's pack problem thread

    Well, it turns out that my 72V 20AH pack from victpower delivers nowhere near 20AH. My 2.5A 72v charger stops charging in 4.5 hours, thats alittle bit more than half of the 20AH capacity. Gives me 25km~16 miles, with me cruising in between 35-40 mph (not sure about average speed). I believe...

    Is my BMS doing its job?

    I have a 48V lifepo4 battery (16 3.2V lifepo4 cells purchased from alibaba that I assembled myself). After releasing off the charger from 57.5V, I get: negative terminal: 3.3V,3.4V..........3.7V,3.6V,3.7V:positive terminal negative terminal: 3.3V,3.4V..........3.6V,3.5V,3.6V:positive terminal...

    stumped - getting motor to spin correctly

    Just got a new controller to replace the one I blew up when the FETs shorted (not the same controller as the old one). After installing it, the motor can only do 4 things from all the wire combinations I used: Jerks alittle and then nothing (this is the default combo where all colors match)...

    shorted fets mean dead hall sensors?

    Hi my phase wires came loose and for whatever reason shorted the FETs in my controller. I'm not sure how it did, can two loose/disconnected phase wires from the motor contacting each other (with all other wires plugged in) create this? And will my hall sensors go bust? Hall sensor wires were...

    controller current and phase wire current

    Hi I tried searching and I couldnt find a definitive answer. Is current in the phase wires entirely dependent on controller/battery current, or is it more the total power supplied by the controller? I.e. Can I reduce phase wire current by using a 72V 20AH instead of a 48v 30AH controller...
