    Help! SLA to Lithium Battery Swap (Izip EZGO project))

    I agree, but when I got the bike I pulled the pack apart and the fuse was a right state. I've never seen anything so melted and bubbled in my life. How it hadn't blown is beyond me! I swapped it out for a nice shiny new one and installed a proper housing for it and it's been great ever since

    Help! SLA to Lithium Battery Swap (Izip EZGO project))

    And this is why I came to the forum! I'd completely missed that in the hordes of numbers I've been looking at lately! I think you're spot on there Benjahmin. Thanks for the input! The current setup seems fine in terms of range, it's rare i'd go anywhere over 8 miles in a day. I'm only 5'8 and...

    Help! SLA to Lithium Battery Swap (Izip EZGO project))

    Yep, I most certainly am! Apologies for the error there. It appears I really am awful at this. I've also just seen that hub motor is actually 200w not 500w that I read somewhere. So I've concluded that the current setup is x2 12v 12a batteries in sequence, making it 24v 12a pack, passing...

    Help! SLA to Lithium Battery Swap (Izip EZGO project))

    I imagine its similar to TV's and the like. A nice top of the range Samsung 8k will have far superior components to a cheaper Bush TV from Argos but they will predominantly be Chinese components either way. So as Nealh explained, the battery I linked above previously wouldn't work due to the...

    Help! SLA to Lithium Battery Swap (Izip EZGO project))

    I found this wiring guide for the rough idea of how its set up Specs from the Izip site are as below: As I've swapped out some parts the weight etc has changed. It has some schwinn 20" springer forks, apehangers, sissybar and banana saddle so the weights crept up. I've kept the 16" wheels...

    Help! SLA to Lithium Battery Swap (Izip EZGO project))

    Blimey! What a ruthless way to sell consumer electronics! Glad I stumbled across this forum and thanks for the advice! Much of the izip appears to be cheap Chinese components and poor quality. Even the controller as below is Chinese. It appears to be an "Exclusive Currie Electro-Drive...

    Help! SLA to Lithium Battery Swap (Izip EZGO project))

    Hey Neath, thanks for the reply. I honestly know nothing about electronics but I'm building a bit of a project while I'm off work for the foreseeable. It's main doner is the izip ezgo I picked up for £40 at the LBS but its getting the lowrider treatment. I know that these SLA's aren't what...

    Help! SLA to Lithium Battery Swap (Izip EZGO project))

    Hi there folks, I'm attempting to swap the batterys out on my Izip EZGO but I'm a bit stuck. I'm a novice in electronics but after looking on here I saw a similar thread several years ago that was really helpful where a guy named Billy did a similar thing. Some of the help was amazing so I'm...
