    Ebike motor tester

    Fully correct. Or he could replace plugs that don't fit with ones that do, or crocodile clips! All available on ebay. A tiny bit of soldering may be involved. It is more of a DIY person's job....But if I buy one of these testers, I will be making sure that the correct plugs and sockets will be...

    Kalkhoff Tasman impulse 2.0

    A few of the possibilities are:- 1) PAS sensor defective or out of adjustment - assuming you have one 2) Broken wire somewhere 3) Bad plug/socket contact 4) Fuse blown 5) one or both brake senors are in the "Braking" position 6) Other electronic failure. If you are a good electrical DIYer, and...

    Lithium bike battery charging

    That sounds like a very good and plausible explanation for some bikes/ batteries needing to be "ON". Though possibly not quite cool is there is a possibility of theft or similar, for the owner, maybe..... It would be interesting for someone with such a battery label, to actually see if battery...

    Battery charging, how often

    Its human nature that it's scaremongering, till it happens close by, or to someone close to you. Everyone is warned about scammers, burglars, smoke alarms, pedophiles and the like, why should they all not be warned of other possible dangers as well....? Forewarned is forearmed! I wonder if the...

    Battery charging, how often

    Its a very valid point, as not all e-bikers are as knowledgeable as Pedelecers are, and some will have those bikes/batteries in their house or in a wooden shed or similar! Even if someone here says it only happens once in a 100 years, but if its my next door neigbour? Andy

    Stem extender

    I have not experienced that, and I add some height to each bike I have bought, as I have had back problems for many years. Never had such a problem myself. Take it back to where you bought it maybe and get your money back? Not fit for use comes to mind.... If you paid with a Credit card or...

    Battery charging, how often

    I liked the sheer power and acceleration of the ones I have tried/ been driven in, very impressive. Many modern IC powered cars, even really fast ones, have real problems in keeping up! But apparently, at the end of the day, after 5-10 years of use, the battery will probably need to be replaced...

    An "observer" demanding facts....... Ludicrous!

    Battery charging, how often

    I have to laugh at your wish for facts, that is really funny, on a forum where facts are almost never ever put in a topic by anyone..... And if the facts are SO important to you, I would expect you to tell me them, with supporting web links proving you are correct. You have got it as the...

    Battery charging, how often

    But the powerwalls seldom get into crashes on the motorway, which is the primary reason for e-car batteries to catch fire, an accident, maybe at high speed! If the battery gets ruptured in some manner, they can get nasty. Fast! I will probably be able to avoid ever buying one at my age, and I...

    Battery charging, how often

    Good point. I myself only trust Panasonic cells, for such reasons. The major problems with some e-cars is that the spontaneous combustion of batteries in some, the fire happens so rapidly, the driverPassengers, for one reason or another, do not always manage to get out safely. When the number of...

    Battery charging, how often

    I have been on the receiving end of some very rude comments, far too many times here, perhaps if they had followed yours and someone else's "new advice", things might have developed in a different manner.... And what I said was far less rude than some others here have said.... Andy

    Battery charging, how often

    I have found, over many years, that Li-ion batteries simply do not like being connected to a charger, once the charge is complete. I showed you a graphic and I explained it carefully why that is always a good idea, but apparently the graphic was in some way, possibly not understandable. I...

    Battery charging, how often

    You misunderstand the situation completely. Li-ion cell fires are extremely dangerous, foams seem to just make them worse. I have posted some up to date information for you already here. I would love to know how the UK Police handle such fires on the motorways of GB, if they do not do the same! Andy

    Battery charging, how often

    In the private sector, that is maybe the only way to save a house or people.....sad though for any wildlife! Andy

    Battery charging, how often

    You must tell that to the German Police and Fire departments, as they have experience of burning Tesla (an not just Tesla) electric car batteries, still burning and filling the atmosphere for miles around with toxic fumes, after 10 hours of burning! Nowadays they bring a huge tank to the vehicle...

    Battery charging, how often

    If always true, nobody could measure their actual battery voltage at the charge socket, on the battery, as the BMS would prevent that. Simples! Of the few different e-bike batteries I have actually looked at myself, and when people here are asked to measure that voltage, most manage that, as...

    Battery charging, how often

    That is my own personal take on keeping Li-ion batteries working longer, after many years patrolling this globe with a Laptop, from the early 1980s, I do not remember exactly when the batteries became Li-ions, probably 10 years or so later.. Many of my colleagues were needing replacement...
