    Are there different KT display lead standards?

    You are indeed correct... It looks like a 1T5 with a red light socket. However searching for a 1T5 Controller I have not found any with the same connector I have. I think a controller with included lead is the way to go.

    Are there different KT display lead standards?

    AmbewWolf - yeha - very much agree with you. I think I am going to buy a KT controller with matching lead. That should mate with the KT display and Bafang motor .... pleaase god let it work. I wil also be moving the controller from the old "waterproof" box into the rack mounted battery box -...

    Are there different KT display lead standards?

    As I am finding out - can't find a controller in this config anywhere. I am thinking of getting a controller and new 1T5 lead. The controller and display should work as they at least seem "standard"ish.

    Are there different KT display lead standards?

    Thanks for the confirmation I was not going mad. I have sent the old one back ... Now all I need to do isfind one that match my existing setup. I am wondering if it might be easier to buy a new lead at the same time ... displats and throttles seem to prety much standard ... the hunt continues.

    Are there different KT display lead standards?

    Hi all, bit of a head scratcher here. I just bought a new controller (KT- 22A) to replace one that flooded. The new one does indeed say it's a KT-22A and all looks good apart form the socket for the T4 extension lead. The old plug/socker is different. Both round and same diamater but the old...

    "best" charging current.

    AmberWolf to my rescue again :). Thank you. All of these things sound realy bad. I think Iwill stick with 2A. I would rather take a bit longer and be less "explody".

    "best" charging current.

    Hi peeps. I am about to buy a new charger for my 48V e-bike battery. When I had a look I see they come in all sorts of different ampages and I have no idea how this relates to battery charging. Is it a case of higher will charge faster but both it and the battery will get hoter along with a...

    Bafang and battery disagree.

    OK Gents - we have our first data point. I had to go into work today to pick up my keys I left there on Friday - and as it happened I also snagged a multimeter. Now see if any of this makes sense… 25 mile ride - 14ah battery mostly on throttle so basically riding it hard both ways. When I got...

    Bafang and battery disagree.

    Ohhhh - this is interesting. Both battery packs have dedicated recharge sockets so the "not to be used for re-charging" does not sound like it will be an issue. It would be nice to plug both in and not worry about swapping. I think I will get the voltage meter I just ordered and get some date to...

    Annnnnnd ... that's what happens when you are not paying attention. Thanks for catching that. I have canceled the order and placed one for the meter you kindly found me.

    I have a multi-meter and will take readings before I make setting changes. Just wondering if one of these would be worth it for £10 - wire it in all the time and get real time data...

    Bafang and battery disagree.

    I would love to do this BUT ... one battery is a 9ah and the other is a 14ah. Just to make it more fun the 9ah is a year or two older compared to the new 14ah. From what I found when looking into this it seemed there were issues with two identical batteries - let alone two mis-matched. I figure...

    Apparently ChatGPT can help you write code / programs?

    I got to be honest - it’s stuff like this that makes me glad I am at the end of my career rather than the start of it. I am a Wintel System admin looking after about 100 servers with a team of two. At the moment things are quite safe but over the years I have seen workload decrease as hardware...

    Bafang and battery disagree.

    Yeha. I'm still new to all this (electric not trikes). Also - I guess - this is a different approach to a lot of use cases. I want to be able to commute with a minimum of fuss in as many conditions as I can (spending a lot of effort on waterproofing things). This is to be used as a utility work...

    Bafang and battery disagree.

    Sorry if I caused any confusion. When I said worked before this is in relation to the batteries being able to supply the old 1K motor. The 500 is new and I only have 100-200 miles on it so it's all newish. That chart is however very interesting. Acording to the Bafang manual it is sett to the...

    Bafang and battery disagree.

    Hi Amberwolf, First off - thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and useful reply… much helpful information to think about. I think a little history would help here. I bought this trike with a 1K motor 48v and a 9ah battery. I needed more range so bought a 14ah 48v battery to...

    Hi Peeps - new here and learning all sorts of interesting things about my new electric trike. I have fitted a 26inch rear wheel with 500W BAFANG G.020.500.DC motor - 22A KT Controller and KT-LCD8H display. All is going well and it makes my 11 mile commute to work quite pleasant. I have however...

    Complete KT-LCD8H manual. All settings.

    You are 100% right. I have been looking for a full manual for days until I found this link. So thank you a million times.
