    Lab power supply as charger

    The balance wires do come as you say from all of the serial branches but most of them are just for measurement not to actually power the 'brains' of the BMS. The power for the brains normally only comes from one set of cells not the whole 36/48v pack.

    Lab power supply as charger

    Surely if you don't charge it fully the battery will go out of balance as the bms will never. The group of cells that power the bms will always be lower than the rest and over time will drift so far that you are over charging the rest.

    Wind Turbines

    First quarter was 29% of UK generation. Yes its low at the moment but no where near as bad as you are claiming over an extended period. Keep burning fossil fuel and choking on the emissions. I wonder how many people who are forced to ride ebikes wouldn't have to without all of the emissions from...

    Yamaha PW SERIES motor

    The time I had the same sort of thing it was a hired battery that was the problem, again no errors. Shouldn't really be your problem to sort out if you were knocked off your bike, surely it's down to his insurers to sort it out. Cycle Republic and Naitionwide ebikes are both Haibike dealers in...

    Yamaha PW SERIES motor

    Any error messages / numbers? These may take some time to appear after starting. Only time I have come across this without an error code personally it was actually the battery that was at fault.

    20 mile commute on an Electric Mountain Bike...

    I guess it depends what you are recording on. For me on Android I have to open the activity, go to edit activity and select the drop down arrow next to ride. Ebike ride is at the bottom of the list.

    haibike failure again

    According to the manual Er15 means the display unit is not fitted on to the holder correctly. Take it off and clean the contacts on the back of the display and the holder. If that doesn't sort it then it's probably a new display.

    20 mile commute on an Electric Mountain Bike...

    I didn't think you knew about the ebike option, many don't. Nothing wrong with a bit of light hearted banter with 'lycras' but people do get upset when unrealistic times are set when they have worked hard for their achievements.

    20 mile commute on an Electric Mountain Bike...

    Close, there are enough haters in the unpowered cycle community, why give them ammunition. It was actually aimed at Jimrod who chose to disagree!

    Speed Sensor? Torque Sensor?

    I'm talking about a pre-emptive increase, once you hit the obstacle maybe a branch on the trail it is to late to increase the torque because you are already over the bars! When I am riding off road particularly when it gets steep and narrow you need to be able to control what is going to happen...

    Speed Sensor? Torque Sensor?

    I don't think the gyro can predict when you need a little more power to lift the front wheel over an obstacle in quite the same way that a torque sensor is going to respond to your input.

    my enerprof softpack has arrived but not with lg mj1 but samsung 35e

    The Samsung is pink wrapper, the LG is green wrapper. Each graph contains the same information for each cell type. The different lines on the graphs represent discharge times at different current loadings.

    my enerprof softpack has arrived but not with lg mj1 but samsung 35e

    You are not reading the graphs correctly, the top one is for the Samsung the bottom one is for the LG. The pink line is a 5A load, 39 mins for Samsung and 38 mins for LG.
