If I understand what you're saying correctly then, switching to a Li-Ion battery makes more sense? It might provide a more stable power source and more reliable charging? The original battery was indeed marked 3.7v 240mAh and I replaced it like for like.

Oh! I did wonder. Well here's goes the indicator lights story.. I bought a set off eBay (an integrated brake light and two amber indicators, with a wired handlebar switch, and it runs off ultrabright LED's and 3xAA). At < 5 quid I wasn't expecting much. And like many things from China, it was...

D8veh do you recommend I use a higher current charger then (at the same voltage)? This is why I need you on our new CycleCharge "Battery Recycling, Research & Development Team" ;)

This kit is brand new never used and available from UK stock for next working day delivery (£12) or economy delivery (3 days) £6 (can go to a pick-up point if preferred). Flexible on price, feel free to make a reasonable offer, else I'll post up a price shortly.

I think yes, I'm not mistaken the Mezzo and Brompton rims are interchangeable.

Oh you mean the DECT stuff? It's just a little gadget from China off eBay, basically it replaces the need for a telephone. It pairs with any GAP/DECT base unit and acts like a telephone handset, allowing you to receive and make calls. It's a clever little device and I've never seen anything like...

It came from a Chinese seller on eBay only £3.18 including postage all the way from China! Here's the item number: 400810822403

Here's another tiny BMS...

I have a brand new super-lightweight high quality 1.2kg 200W motor kit surplus if anyone is interested, feel free to make an offer. I'll post a picture later when I can get over to the warehouse. It's 36H and spoked into in a 16" front-wheel double-walled rim (not suitable for disc brakes), so...

I'm posting a few pics for those interested of the kits, motors, and LCD's..these are from the actual factory.. The standard kit comes with: Motor spoked into a double-walled rim. Controller unit. LCD console. Two brake levers with motor cut-out sensors. PAS sensor. Thumb throttle. Wire loom...

Thanks very much Kenny, that's kind of you to say and appreciated! If we can help save people some money in these hard times everyone is experiencing, glad to help out. Also by buying through a reliable source backed by people in the UK, it takes the risk and uncertainty out of dealing with...

It's not too late! I've extended it until tomorrow, as I realised some might not see this and China's timezone difference and the time it takes to gather and wire funds, means we'll have a day or two to play with anyway.

Check out this, been doing some repairs/experiments in my little electronics workshop, and I discovered what is quite possibly the smallest BMS ever! It's in the red square and is only a couple of mm across, it manages the charging for a tiny 3.7v battery for a DECT gadget device! At the top...

Hi, you can e-mail it to paul@cyclecharge.org.uk or just send as a PM on here if you want. I'm also on Skype: magniauk

Well I've been absent from the forum for a while and so has Lynda, due to our illnesses. Things have gone quiet for a while on the CycleCharge front last year, but I haven't been idle and neither has Lynda! I had some very positive meetings last year and discussions, both with interested...

LAST ORDERS GUYS!!! :) OK guys, it's 'last orders' today before I begin invoicing everyone and place the order with China. I've got all your orders sorted cost-wise, it's just the freight side of things I'm doing now. I'm hoping to have it wrapped up today. Sorry it's dragged on a bit due to...

Yes buying from China is a very complicated/risky and expensive business, if you're dealing with unknown goods or factories. Unfortunately there's a distinct lack of quality control awareness in some Chinese factories, and a lot of unscrupulous people who aren't honest or straightforward to deal...

Exactly thanks d8veh. I think there's some confusion over what not-for-profit means. People need to think of CycleCharge as essentially a charity that engages in some commercial activities but not-for-profit, that's all. We obviously have to cover our costs and receive some revenue, but profit...

In a nutshell.. economy of scale, and subsidies. Just because we're selling at close to cost price, doesn't mean we're selling rubbish or stuff that isn't as good quality as goods sold at 3-4x the price. We're just a not-for-profit org that's all. The motors, batteries and kits we supply are...

Yes, the kettle-style plug (IEC) has become the connector of choice in the e-bike industry (at least for DIY'ers and in China). It makes perfect sense to use IEC connectors between controllers and e-bike batteries I think because: a) It's designed for safety and approved by the electrical...
