this charger is underpowered for this battery, 2 are aswell, original charger was 3.6A 145W for 1/4 of this pack, as its made from macallister garden tool batteries. , edit just looked up cell specs, standard charge is .5A and rapid charge is 4A, which is higher than i thought, as original...

obviously pay attention to your battery specs, the cells in this one i have was charged in around an hour with the original charger.

Ended up with 2 chargers due to shipping times for one of em being too long and buying another elsewhere, after googling about it and not finding much or generally not advised i decided to ignore that and see what happens for myself, and surprisingly works just fine, one and 2 connected...

is dd 1000w hub motor, has regen braking, willl try test next time on a hill if lights or the horn add drag as upgraded them to cree u5's and should be about 12w each, only prob with em is cars think i am motorbike:P

because it powers the lights when im going along with the battery disconnected, cant remember if the old controller did it as i didnt have the 48v lights, does this mean i get free running of lights or at least reduced power use on battery when not under acceleration? 2x cree u5 motorbike...

1: Paint matt black 2: hub motor added to front wheel and a mid drive 3: MORE POWAHHH! 4:

is it just plastic with embedded magnets? id prob just glue it in place/together with some impact adhesive, not sure if jb weld would do as contains metal. a zip tie around the outside may work if theres enough room

could do, just the carrier currently has the battery on it, and the controller and wiring fits kinda neatly in a triangle of the frame, was thinking of hanging underneath where front frame mudguard used to sit, http://i.imgur.com/c4QENN5.jpg will prob just pick up the 1200w, an extra 10 amps...

the 1500w controller is gonna be a pain to mount:P tho if you know of an alternative that works with the lcd unit would consider that

yeah got another bike to build up for then but unsure if should electrify at some point, its a merida 120 carbon got cheap off ebay, , prob want a mid drive or some light hub motor, getting nice bits for it is expensive tho.

current controller is 26A, have a choice between a 1200w 35A or 1500w 45A, looking at amps the 1500w is near double what i have and im guessing would top out near 2kw? maybe i should just get the 1200w one.

samsund 13q cells in 13s8p config, built from macallister garden tool batteries, i think they are 17 amps continuous a cell, 1300mah capacity not great but they were cheap, about 25 quid for 20 cells. battery wired direct rather than going through bms output but its only a 20amp one from the 48v...

im confident the frame can handle it, upgraded to disk brakes and better forks few weeks ago and made a fair bit of difference over the v brakes and non dampened suspension, tho i need to get a new rear unit at some point. im usually wearing my hardhat for work:P

Got one of the 1000w hub motor kits for 154 quid off ebay a while ago, then later got another controller with lcd3 unit which is now running great once the correct p and c setting put in, and now wondering if i should get a 1500w controller for more torque, i know the battery can supply the...

came here while searching for macallister 4ah batteries that i missed out on, gonna stay and browse a bit i think:P currently riding this bodged together thing, no idea what make frame is as was given to me with nothing on, tho seems pretty sturdy and ideal for running as ebike, alu frame with...

gone now, bugger, would have needed 3 or more to make a decent sized pack, would be lighter than the one i have atm which is about 5 and 1/3, and my rack is gonna need welded as one side of the support as come undone and zip ties holding it in place atm, tho did get the wiring mostly finished...

i liked how easily they stacked and wired together, only prob i had was the macallister charger cuts off after an hour or so, and easy enough to dremel apart and make smaller sections as the cells are spaced also found a schottky diode in one of the spare chargers that works well for the regen...

i wondered where all the 4ah batteries went, didn't get a chance to grab any but did get 6 of the 2.6ah ones, was using 4 initially joined together then upgraded to 48v, so cut the other 2 into 6 cell sections and added onto end and wired in a 48v bms, 13s8p, working well so far. a 10.4ah...
