Hmmm, I guess you lot are still pretty unresponsive even though i've been on best behaviour and checked for replies every day!... Well here's an update anyway. I'm really excited about solar and wondered if I should continue on this thread or start another?? The Hybrid quad is taking shape and...

Wow 48ah! That's a lot of battery. Must be pretty heavy?? 25kg? I love the idea of solar and i'm starting to think about where you could strategically place a small array of panels.. What is your range like with your full setup?

Is this the kind of pack you mean? http://www.hobbyking.co.uk/hobbyking/store/__49509__Turnigy_nano_tech_Ultimate_7500mah_2S2P_90C_Hardcase_Lipo_Pack_ROAR_Approved_.html what kind of charger/BMS set up would i need to charge 6 or 12 of them (44.4 volts) as fast as possible? Is the Meanwell...

Hey, thanks for the input... I'm very excited about the prospect of a decent sized pack that could charge in minutes! What kind of pack is this? I know Graphene super-capacitors and the likes are just round the corner but i didn't know there was anything that could charge that quick available at...

Hahaha! I was waiting for that :). To explain what i hope to achieve with the generator.... I like the idea of never having to stop or plan too carefully my journey. I did eventually figure out that i had a dodgy cell in my 20ah pack and after replacing it with a £30 ebay jobby it's been running...

Yikes. I guess newbies don't get a second chance around here. :(

[EDIT] You had a lot of helpful guys reply in a previous thread that you subsequently abandoned. People may be hesitant to invest their time here as a result. Wow, offending behaviour duly noted! Apologies to anyone who was disappointed by my lack of response :oops: I spent 2 weeks waiting...

And i'm planning on modifying the exhaust to be quieter and to exit at the bottom of the pack... May well end up with a simple ducting system and fan to draw air in at the top and exit at the bottom/rear to keep warm air heading away from me and cool the engine and alternator. I know it's going...

No schematic but here is the product listing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331366277595?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT It has a built in rectifier but no regulator so will put out more volts and amps the faster you turn it.....

Hello, So the plan is to use a very small, efficient (honda gx25) 4-stroke engine that I have, to turn a Permanent Magnet DC alternator designed for wind turbines. The engine puts out about 1hp or 720 watts and the alternator ( i am yet to purchase this but have been in contact with the...

Oh another thing that might help is.. I only just installed this controller and throttle and motor. Before i had a new 1000w kit off ebay and I think I fried the controller pulling a friend on a skateboard up a hill (i was very sad :( ) It had no bms issue with this set up but now it does with a...

I'm not running regen charging. But does the motor send a current back anyway when it's coasting? Also the cut outs are not totally random they do seem related to throttle input/big variations in current. (but it does cut out anyway sometimes) Multimeter is ordered and when it arrives i'll get...

Ok, do you mean a loose sense wire on the bms? I haven't actually taken the rapping off and had a look yet. And i need a new multimeter before i can test anything. But that's a really helpful place to start and a little hope is all I needed to stave of the no-ebike-blues!! Time to unwrap the...

I'm a bit puzzled. I have a 20ah 48v with built in BMS (chinese sun-thing). And a cheap 1000w (allegedly) rear hub motor. The bike will happily pull full throttle up a hill and reach full speed etc. but will sometimes cut out straight away or mid ride and not turn on again without...
