    Help! battery needs repair

    hi nealh thanks.you have exchanged enough dialog in posts with me in the past ,when i bought the battery a year an a half ago the 30Q was considered a very good choice. i chose it after much research. so you think this is just inevitable wear an tear for the 30Q after 1500 miles, rather than...

    Bafang BBS01B Battery

    its the 850C, it has Watts & Amps. my bbshd came with one.it was so useful being able to see how much battery i was using in different PAS levels/gear selection/high,low cadence peddling etc. So i later bought one for my bbs01,it was about £47 from a seller on ali express. invaluable if you want...

    Bafang BBS01B Battery

    on the later 2016+ bbs01 controllers setting the KC function to 100% only has the effect that the minimum AMPS stay a little bit higher than say at 60%. The controller still reduces the amps when the load decreases.IE you can be on the flat an up to speed ,doing 22mph in max PAS and the...

    Advice on ebike conversion kit for 30mile commute

    ill try charging it off this time to see and check the cell voltages after. in my case where some cells still show more wear than others (the same 4 finish 0.05v lower than others )isnt it wise to always do balancing if they are less than perfect now. it seemed to correct the sagging problem i...

    Advice on ebike conversion kit for 30mile commute

    Advice on ebike conversion kit for 30mile commute

    So much for the vaunted 30Q then. i thought it was supposed to be the best. with a 14s5p giving 37.5amps continous,well above a bbshd using 24-30amps for moderate periods. i doubt ive charged the battery 70-80 times over the year.

    Advice on ebike conversion kit for 30mile commute

    Hmm thats interesting.Everything ive learned so far from people says the opposite.when i had my issues recently with the badly balanced bbshd battery.i trickle charged with a mobile phone charger all the cells to the same voltage,when nearly drained. Then when i charged switched on, for the...

    Bafang 250W amazing range

    Its a great motor isnt it. Despite having a bbshd i still use my 350w version more.Range anxiety limits the bbshd unless you can afford a huge expensive triangle battery.Have you set your bbs01 up with 'carls special sauce' programming? i find that works well.

    Battery capacity running down

    Excellent news.i feel annoyed at the lack of charging instructions too. Sadly in my case a whole year of incorrect charging caused irreversible damage. I was hoping it would still be in time for you.
