Received the 4 packs.
All labeled 36V 4.4Ah
2 labeled with Samsung, other 2 of no known manufacturer.
Only 1 charges to near 4.20V!
Discharged all below 3.40V and doing metered charge on each. Will have results tomorrow.
Have not broken open double shrink wrapped packs yet, will after charge results tomorrow.
latecurtis said:It is a 2P. I built two 10S - 2P packs. I hooked them in parallel for 4P with parallel cables I built.
I fixed the cell and reassembled the one 2P pack and have been running them at 4P for three days now. My ol lady is in the hospital with phenomena. I have been running the Currie.
I run the 4P LG pack I built to get there about 2 miles and run the 6P Samsung packs back home. I hope she will come home soon. I got a heater for her room as the furnace is not working right now. Thanks.

Sorry to here that. Hope she gets well soon.
How cold is it getting up north? They say it's gonna be in the 90's for another week or so. rain all next week too.
So have you tested the pack to see it's capacity? 2 miles isn't much.
I thought it was a 8ah plus pack. What are the cell voltages after the short run?
Samsung are good down to 3.40Vlatecurtis said:The LG packs have good capacity. I just don't run any of my packs low. For Wall-Mart I use the SONA packs which are also 2P. The LG packs I think are greater capacity than the SONA packs. The LG cells were rated at 3,000 mAh but are approx. 2,500 mHh so at 4P about 10 AH compared to the 8Ah SONA packs. The Samsung packs are 6P so 12 Ah total. Voltage after 2 miles are 3.84 with the LG cells and 2.90 with the Samsung packs. The SONA is about 3.76V after 2 miles. I try not to run any packs low.
Sounds like your meter is way off!
You "adjusted" it, before finally replacing the battery. Recommend you purchase another and compare-adjust back to proper setting. Or compare with someone else's meter and adjust.

Looks like your 4.05V metering is actually very near 4.20V.
You should confirm voltage against other meter, then adjust.

If you have a radioshack or similar near you, you can also buy a Zener diode for a few cents as a reference. Any voltage power source, an appropriate resistor, so you're not short circuiting, and then "read" the voltage at either end of the Zener like below: (they're using a 5.1v zener)
My wife, my girlfriend, anything but “my old lady” shows some level of respect. Women deserve more.
Ambition is what you have. Being lazy is a different thing.latecurtis said:Thanks.
I still have that little 500 watt motor and a push cart project to finish.
I just have to find something that I often run out of basically my entire life.
It is called ambition.

Thanks.
