    Connecting new BMS to salvaged Bionix 13s battery

    Hi all, I've got two battery packs salvaged out of Bionix battery housings, 13s, 8.8AH charged to 52V. They appear to be sound once the BMS is removed. I want to replace the Bionix BMS with a load balancing BMS from eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/254285645186) but found the female JST block...

    Any hope for this 36V Lion frame mount battery

    Hi all, I have a relatively new battery pack, a frame mount Li-ion 36V, 10AH, marked as Model S-002. It's giving 0 volts from the output Anderson power poles. Taking it apart, it appears the pack has 37V on the battery pack where it enters the BMS card and 0 volts where it exits. Given this...

    Smart Pie V starts up with a jerk

    Hi all, I have a Smart Pie V motor coupled with a Luna Shark 52V battery. For now I have the motor in a wheel truing stand for testing. I had the motor installed on a bike briefly and found when I use the throttle, the motor goes from 0 to 1-2 mph with no ramp up. There's no gradation there...

    Seat post mounted battery

    Hi all, I am researching methods for mounting a 5AH li-ion brick to a seatpost or stem post on a folding bike. This type of bike has an extended seat and stem post riser so it's a useful place to put stuff, especially if you have no racks on the bike. Here's an example of this type of mounting...

    Uses for a Bionx battery pack with a dead BMS

    Hi all, I was given a Bionx battery by a bike mechanic who said the BMS card is dead. Bionx had remotely diagnosed this, disabled the battery and said it could not be repaired. The cells seem to be okay. I cracked the case and took a look. I'm reading 35, 35, 24 and 35V on a termination block...

    Water resistant connectors to replace 2.1mm plugs

    Hi all, I've been using 2.1mm plugs to connect 12V lighting on my recumbent. These plugs are okay, price is certainly good, but they are a bit bulky and not particularly waterproof. Can anyone recommend a better plug type than this. The 2.1mm plugs are ubiquitous, cheap, they come with a wire...

    Comparing two crystalytes

    Hi all, I've got two Crystalyte motors I'm riding and one of them is way less powerful than the other. I'm wanting to understand what's causing the difference in top speed. On system 1, I've got a 408/4011 motor, 72V controller, and a Ping 36V battery. The motor is only used on the speed leg...

    lighter weight motors for folding bike

    Hi all, I've got a Crystalyte 408/4011 on a Sun EZ-1 which I like. I've been testing a Crystalyte front hub motor (don't know the model) on a folding bike. It's plenty powerful but the weight leaves something to be desired. I'm wondering what models of hub motors would be a good application...

    Charger for ping battery and BMS replacement

    Hi all, I've just finished replacing my BMS card on my 36V 20AH Ping battery. Ping was pretty darned helpful through the whole process given we were emailing across half the planet and two languages. I had taken my battery out of the case and when putting it back gotten a small spark when I...
