    Battery not fully charging

    I am now wondering,,, I am not entirely sure that I didn't replace 1 cell,, that may have been grouped with an existing pre charged cell.. So I connect a cell at 4.1v and one at 3.6v in parallel. I'm quite sure I didn't do this, because when I read them with volt meter all cell groups...

    Battery not fully charging

    Hi, to give update to the thread.., it has taken a while to arrive and for me to get around to it.. but I received the charger and charged up individually each set of cells. As saneagle suggested above, I did have to find a way to connect the charger and I chose to solder it to the lead strip...

    Battery not fully charging

    Yes sorry, tricky probably not the right word. Maybe fiddily or time consuming. I have seen what seem reasonable balance chargers second hand for under £30.. but they seem to be for li-po battery not li-ion. And on Amazon there is multiple parallel charging boards.. less than £10 for some of them.

    Battery not fully charging

    Hi @Ghost1951 Thanks for confirming my understanding, and advice on how to fix.. it seems like a bit of a tricky one. I have also heard of some kind of charger that can perhaps perform balancing.. I might look into one of those as if my life carries on in this direction it might be a useful...

    Battery not fully charging

    I have found an RC car charger that runs off USB. I'm quite happy because I guess this will fix a problem I have been having. My battery keeps cutting out. When it still appears to have charge. But I guess the BMS is cutting it out. Because some of the cells have reached the limit. Even though...

    Battery not fully charging

    Ok I have discovered it needs to be balanced. I not need to find a way to do this I have seen a guy on YouTube using a light bulb.. to drain the cells that have higher charge. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm thinking I could get a 4.2v charger and just charge them all...

    Battery not fully charging

    Battery not fully charging

    I have a bike with 36v battery. When it was new I'm sure it used to charge to 42v. But now it charges only to 36v. I made the battery pack myself, and will take apart and measure voltage over each cell etc.. I don't have any equipment for reviving battery cells or charging them other than my...

    Hi whoosh,, I can't see me going down the threading onto 28h rim route, but from what I have seen online it is possible. route as the examples I can find wouldn't solve my problem anyway,, they use a crazy spoke pattern and they don't go into alternate holes on the rim,, so if they were angled...
