For some time I've been using my Satiator GC360-4808 charger to charge a custom 48v 21Ah battery on my assisted Quattrovelo velomobile, I have appreciated the profile setup which enables me to choose the desired charge level and then forget it with no concern about over-charging. (Most of the time I uses an 80% charge with occasional 100% charges to balance the cells) After over two years of frequent use the battery barely shows any degredation.
Recently I've added a Vitus Mountain bike to my collection which has the Shimano E8000 setup with it's proprietary 36V battery and charger. The only way I can limit the charge to less than 100% is by constantly checking the LED display. I know this issue has been discussed previously but has there been any progress with a way to utilise the Satiator instead of the Shimano EC-E6000-6 unit. (I understand that the Shimano unit identifies somehow with the Shimano battery?) A connector cable plus some sort of intermediary electronics would be needed?
