flecc I assume you are talking about the Mitsubishi i-Miev? If this is so the battery used by Mitsubishi in this vehicle is not LiFePO4. The only safe lithium chemistry is LiFePO4. As you correctly state batteries with cobalt and manganese electrodes are a potential fire hazard. I would...

Gentlemen, we have to be clear which family of lithium ion batteries we are talking about when we discuss self discharge and low temperature performance. What flecc says is true of lithium ion batteries ie, Li-Co chemistry, as used in consumer appliances such as mobile phones, camcorders, etc...

Sounds like you have one or more faulty cells. You need to be able to load test each and every cell in the pack to find where the defective cells are. It may be only one cell which is defective or several but you need to be able to get access to each of the individual cell's terminals to be able...

Mussels, I supply loose cells to many companies and individuals all around the world. How the manufacturer in Austria of the el-cycle uses them in their own custom assembled battery packs with their own wholly designed battery management system is their busuiness and I had no input into. They...

There are a few different battery packs/configurations available for the el-cycle. I understand the main one is a 20Ah pack. I am sure if you email the manufacturer of this bike directly they will get back to you with the battery pack specifications and range per charge with the relevant batteries.

There is not much chance of the battery dieing or risk involved when it is backed by 3years/3000 cycles factory warranty. Also the cells have minimal self discharge and a fully charged cell will still have 80% of its original capacity after 2 years so even if a cell isn't used for a few weeks...

The "el-cycle" from Austria is supplied in two versions. First version is the "street legal" version which is speed limited/governed to 30kph. Second version is what the manufacturer calls the "off road" version which is speed limited/governed to 60kph. Both models are programmed not to...

...but long life batteries are available for e-bikes now. It is common for lithium batteries to have a life of well over 1000 cycles (compared to only 300 deep cycles typically for lead acid batteries). For instance the factory waranty on a BMI LiFePO4 battery is 3000 full charge cycles or 3...

Tubaman the following is the wiring information for the throttle. Red and Black are the power supply connections and Green is the Hall effect sensor. Red=5V Black=GND Green=Hall sensor You can test it works properly as follows- With a voltmeter/multimeter there will be 5 volts between...

Richdog, if money is no object and you want the highest powered e-bike available you can't go past the "el-cycle". This is the world's most powerful production e-bike and has a top speed of 97kph. It is entirely European designed and hand built in Austria. The company which builds them only...
