Battery range

[UrbanPuma]

Hi all,

Can someone explain how to measure the remaining battery capacity on my Powacycle Puma? I have a multimeter.

Also, everywhere I've tried is out of stock, so does anyone know where I can purchase a new one?

Many thanks,

Urbanpuma

Screwfix appear to have plenty

I assume you mean a multi meter?

You can't use a meter to measure capacity. You need a wattmeter connected while you ride your bike. The wattmeter has to be installed between the battery and the controller.

You can get your battery re-celled if the case is OK for around £250 or you can buy a new cell-pack and install it yourself for about £150 if you're OK with wiring and soldering.

Yes, the case is in good condition, so I'll probably opt for re-celling from the North London company. Thanks vfr400
