This is for the Techies especially but hope many more will find some interest. As reported in an earlier post it was my intention to strip the old battery in the hope that some of the cells were well enough to fire up my Cree torches. All cells came away easily enough but one or two have...

Okay folks, good news tonight, though my wallet, a hell of a lot lighter. I have bought a 15.6 amp/hour lithium battery from Ebay and it was delivered today mid morning. Read some do's and dont's from the supplier, then put it to charge for a few hours. My last battery, a 9 amp/hour came with...

That's something else I definitely won't do in the future, once charged it will come off the charger. It's amazing how new chemistry comes along and the rules change but never really widely expressed,at least to some of us. In the lead/acid days it was considered good to keep a battery on...

Between you, you have convinced me I need a new battery. I see there are some monsters out there, for example, I see on eBay, a 15 amp hour for about £230. I'll continue to look around for a day or two but that does look appealing despite the huge price tag. Are these things to be...

The battery was nearly always empty before recharging but was never left depleted over any winter but you have just prompted a thought. Last winter the battery was left on the live charger for about five months, perhaps I've over cooked it? I have just tried your suggestion to measure the...

I've put that badly. The three LEDs are present *until* the battery cuts out, then all three disappear on the cut out. Battery power resumes and the three LEDs light up again when I throw the power switch to 'out' and then 'in' again.

"Wild unsubstantiated guesses" ... 'It would help if you told us exactly which bike it is'. Pot, kettle? Okay, then let's give it a try. The control box is wired for pedal assist but I chose not to fit it as it would have meant my getting a longer bottom bracket to fit the sensors...

Here we are again NeilH and d8veh. I must relate this incredible tale first. I have looked all over for triangular screwdrivers but haven't been too impressed with the prices, some of them you'd need a mortgage. However, I finally got around to Amazon and found a set of four for about £11 plus...

Thanks, Okay, I'll do that. Been looking at triangular screwdrivers and most describe them as "security drivers" and used also on mobile phones and play things and some sources charging a fortune for them. My problem as you can imagine, I need a single size but unfamiliar with the new "...

I think that makes sense so have gone for it and opened the case up to discover an inner case held together by triangular slotted screw heads at the bottom of steep sided tubes, These manufacturers definitely don't like us to look into these things do they. Not a lot I can do until I can get a...

The bike is a Marin so that is irrelevant as I bought a Chinese made, Electric kit for it and fitted it successfully myself. The motor is an "8 FUN" brushless motor. The battery as I said is lithium and has a capacity of 9,000 m/a. hour. It has been a really great piece of kit till now.

Mine is a front hub motor and I find the wheel slips sometimes on loose gravel or sandy roads. I told this rarely happens with a rear wheel motor.

My battery is 36v and have run it for about 20 times a year [ Summer Months] over 6 years now. The problem is, that although the indicator lights show the battery is fully charged, after about a hundred yards of gentle riding the battery cuts out completely. With the switch to off then back...
