yes the one on the bottom should have your battery charger it's in san fransico so the shipping should be cheaper than the doudle shipping cost of bms battery. That battery is only good for a smalll motor and small controller or will melt. So what are you using it for ?
Plus we need to know where you live to help. just put it in your sig.
The first charger will not work it's a rc hobby charger that needs a balance plug or wrong style for your type of battery.

Thanks I will update my sig.

First your battery is to small unless you have a 10 amp. Controller. Melt...
It's a 400watt charger. So 400watts for what you have as a bms. At 3.7v ( high voltage per cell to trip bms )for your 16s lifepo4 .And your bms can not support it. You need a 250 watt charger for that small a battery
Get the one from S.F. it a 2 amp.
Wait what's wrong with your's first charger a
Fuse ???

999 is right. Though a 5 amps charger , 300w, might work the battery can last longer with a slightly smaller one, Look for a 3 or 4 amps charger for a pack that size.

Sorry I just wasn't sure how many watts the battery can support ? So maybe a 15-18 amp controller, but these still making a guess about what your battery can support.

I post to learn to spell and write hoiing someone would chime in. For correct info.

Thanks for the help 999 and others.
I think the fuse went out, i'll try replacing it to see if it works.

It will be powering a magic pie 3 48v motor: http://www.goldenmotor.ca/products/26-Inch-Rear-Magic-Pie-3-Conversion-Kit.html

Re the battery matching the motor, the battery is big enough on paper based on lab tests, but you will ride it in the real world. It's 5 ah smaller than what I'd recommend for cheaper lifepo4 type.

Real world means, at every stop sign, starting up again gives the battery a big amps spike. And all batteries hate them. Though you have a good motor for starts, it still will help your battery if you make a habit of pedaling the first 10 feet, then easing on the throttle, rather than just goosing it from a dead stop. Or just give half throttle the first 10 feet. It will help your battery stay balanced better, and last longer.

I find what kills a small size battery is loaning for a ride. They find the biggest hill and runs up and down wot. Very hard on battery. Dogman has slow me down while rideing on the beach slow enough to see the waves and smell the air.
So it's not a 2 stoke dirt kicking motorcycle. These how we all melted are new toy. And payed for it. So enjoy.
