So I’m building a third bike with the same equipment as every other time; namely a ”Shark” frame battery with an integrated controller.
I ordered this from bmsbattery.com, nothing unusual about that.
However.. as far as I can tell, they’ve put the wrong connector for the PAS coming out of the controller.
It should be an orange 3-pin connector, but it’s green with 4 pins.
The included PAS has the standard orange 3-pin alright, which manifestly will not meet with the battery, of course.
I went to check with my other 2 bikes just to make sure, and yeah, coming out of the battery is the orange 3-pin, not a green 4-pin as in this case.
I’ve also googled far and wide for a 4-pin PAS and have come up short. 3 pins appears to be the prevailing standard.
What can I do about this? Is the controller amenable for surgical intervention? Or some sort of adaptor perhaps?
I could possibly open it up and try to solder a different cable to it I suppose but I’d rather not. As it stands, I can’t connect the pedal assist sensor.
And no, BMS Battery have not yet deigned to answer my emails about this.
I am right in thinking they’ve made an error at the factory, yes?
Best,
