Here's some pics from inside that battery end. No switch or PCB or LED display, but tucked down over the battery appears to be a BMS.

Sorry, I wasn't clear, but you have nicely summarised what I understand to be the case. Yes, with this missing PCB/power display/switch, I do understand that the battery's outputting socket will be constantly 'live', and could/would therefore 'spark' on fitting, if the controller or other part...

Thank you again, both :-) From what I've seen on another post which showed a parts list for a similar Dorado battery, the switch was 'latching', so would likely have been as Nealh suggested - it was used to turn the battery output on and off, with the display presumably lighting up all the time...

Fab info - thank you. I've yet to tackle it properly, but that's helpful info. I plan to make a simple frame suspended from the garage ceiling to hold the bike where I can check it all, and hopefully set it running... :) I'll report back.

Hi, sorry - there is a further PCB sitting down on top of the battery, and I assume that's the BMS. And there are fuses on both the charging and output sides - the former being accessible from under a rubber lid, and the former being in-line inside the casing, of the wires to the output socket...

I think I know what you mean by 'dumb' :-) It certainly is now - I have another thread on just the battery, and found a blob of hot-glue where the rubber-covered switch should be, near the LED power indicator. Opened it up, and all that stuff has been removed, leaving only the battery cables...

Tee-hee - there's nothing behind that blob (yes, hot-glue). The switch, PCB and LED display have been removed, with the battery's output cables going straight to the output socket. I guess it must have gone faulty, and this was the easiest solution.

Thank you, both. I do have a bag of bits, and that has two (or three?) other controllers in it, as well as what looks like the original type of LCD, buttons, and throttle. The battery was charged up a week ago, and outputs 41.8V today, no load. It was also professionally refurb'd before sale...

Thank you. It does output a solid (but no load) voltage, and has been refurb'ed, so I'm hoping/expectng it's good. I cannot try it on the bike yet, as the whole wiring needs sorting - and the bike was sold as non-functioning (I have another thread on this). I think I may need to undo these...

Hi. For some reason this hasn't appeared on the 'introduce yourself' thread, so here it is again :-) (Mods, please delete the original - thank you). I wasn't looking for an e-bike, but came across this Benelli being sold locally, and was taken by its looks. I'm very familiar with doing up...

Hi all. Please also see my introduction thread for more info - and Qs - on this bike :) https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/benelli-e-misano-project-will-need-help.47863/ The battery has been recently professionally refurbished by the previous owner, charges as it should, and outputs over...

Hi everyone. I wasn't looking for an e-bike, but came across this Benelli being sold locally, and was taken by its looks. I'm very familiar with doing up regular bikes, and also happy with electrics, but there's a lot I don't know about these fellows. I've obviously been researching, but I have...
