    No worries, did you make the BMS as well mate? I like the look of the 18650 format, hooking them together might be problematical though :|

    Hi Sam, any particular reason you chose that spec battery over (say, VTC5s) ... bigger capacity? Also interested in the specs of the BMS Thanks mate ;)

    Well, it seems I have an invalid comment if one of the 20 odd pages ... I'm not doing it again :shock:

    Aussie 200 Watt Limit Thread

    G'day peeps :D Would it not be sensible to limit top speed assisted to 25 (or 30 ish kmh) and have no limit of power? That way, people who live where there are long, steep hills (with strong head winds) can get up them relatively easy and at the same time, not exceed the speed that motorists...

    Sam, he won't at 3.6V - LiPo is fine down to around 3.3V although I would never recommend it and only take mine down to 3.8V. FWIW, I run the 8S on a 21V cutout but I also monitor my cell voltages. I don't see a problem with 6S then. I use at most 5.8Ah and as little as 2.2Ah out of my pack on...

    Hi drekkus, welcome to the aussie Aprilia owners club :) Where do you hail from mate? It depends on whether you are going to ride the bike at 50km/h everywhere or not! If that's the speed you want, then 8S is the way to go. If not, then 6S will get you about 38 tops. If this is ok, then I...

    Intense M3 + Clyte HT3525 + HD video

    I would think a test ride would be in order ... of the bike of course. You need to check for "saggy" suspension and "loose" chassis amongst other things :P I'm surprised though that another West Aussie hasn't chimed in yet, but the jester is probably nesting. Stopping now ... (Sorry sc)...

    Hi guys, been away on something else for a coupla days Yes, I only use the LiLo setting now - it extends the life of the pack if you only charge to 4.1V and discharge to 3.8V. Obviously, you need to have the battery capacity to stay within these limits. I'm here now :) I read Sam's and then...

    Yes, but I always try to positively acknowlege someone who responds to a request by me ( = yes, but thanks anyway) :D

    It's all good so far Tony :D Take an easy ride for about 5km, then just do a charge (not a balance charge) with the balance leads connected so you can monitor the cells. If they are more than 0.03V out, balance again. You should be right after that. Not psychic, experienced :oops: Cheers, GT

    Hi Whip, do you have a photo of the shaft clamps? How will you be pinning it? I take it off centre on the wire side. Cheers mate

    Keep going Tony .... (You should get the cells to within 0.01V easily)

    Tony, do you just stop the charger when it's showing 0.0A into the battery? Those readings show the pack is too far out of balance. Balance charge each pack until the cells show all the same. If the charger times out before the cells show all the same, just restart the balance charge until the...

    Tony, the CellLogs are these and used to measure and compare each cell. If you leave it connected to your battery (like I did once), the battery will get out of balance.

    Hi Sam, yes I know, but I didn't want Tony to play with them until he gets familiar with charging LiPo. And after the initial balance, it shouldn't take more than the 90 mins time out unless something goes wrong (OR, he leaves the CellLogs connected which cocks up the balance) Edit: are your...
