How did you go with bank #3? Was it only a couple of cells that had issues, were the rest OK?

Great advice, thank you. I was tending more towards cheaper than efficient at this stage, and am really only considering doing it because I already have the cells. When calculating I often halve the numbers on offer, so the 10w panel becomes 5, 3Ah cells become 1.5, etc. I like the idea...

Hi, I need some lighting for my workbench and want to make something myself. I have some spare lithium ion 18650 cells and want to use them to power some chip LEDs, but use a solar panel to charge the batteries. I've done a lot of research myself and asked questions, but haven't been able to...

Posted the bike for sale :cry: Would like to see it go as a package, but would split it if it all goes at once.

Hey John, The batteries are great, had no issues with them, apart from a few "learning" incidents resulted in a couple of melted plugs. I personally series, then parallel, because I found it easier to plus the ground and active wires together on 3 batteries, and then plug all the series'...

Hopefully everyone is already aware of the massive increase in police presence that is occurring in Brisbane at the moment and especially next week. Might be a good idea for anyone who commutes with a custom electric bicycle to give it a miss, next week especially. Wouldn't want anyone to get a...

Thanks for the link, makes sense why it's doing what it's doing. I'll just have to get it lined up on a few of the rear cogs and only use those gears. Maybe I can just use two on the back and two in the front to give me enough range to pedal at various speeds. Thanks again, stay in touch...

Hey mate, hope everything is going well at your place. Hope everyone is healthy and well. I haven't ridden for a while because I have been sick, and now even though I'm OK, I still have a coughing fit with the slightest of exercise, so I'm waiting for that to disappear before riding again. I...

Thanks, the tyres are hookworms. Very comfy and awesome for street riding. Thanks for letting me know about the cell alarms, too. I haven't been using them while riding.

I'd forgotten you had shown me about this, I'll need to have a look at mine, because it's not working so well with the new shifter. Bike is looking great, that mount is awesome, so solid!

Hey, do you have any pics? I still need some for my bike, but it is proving difficult to find something suitable.

Good luck with it all!

Fair enough. If you were in the bike lane, I would have taken their details and spoken to police about the incident.

Sucks to hear about the accident, I hope the battery box is the only damage to the bike and kit, and that you heal quickly. You must have been going quick to flip right over the door. If you're going to do dangerous stuff on the bike like lane splitting (that isn't legal) you need to be...
