Hello Everyone,
I purchased a used Ebike, its 60v with 16s18p lithium, during winter time changed the lights to LED.
tried it for couple rides, it rides nicely, and the battery is ok, for reference 16s battery
67.3v is 100%
60v is 50%?
55v is safe low voltage
if the bike has no lights on, the bike runs fine, the throttle is responding fine,
but if the lights are on, the throttle responds as long as the voltage is over 63,
if voltage is below 63, I have to turn off the light for the throttle to work, I can even turn on the lights after (while my hand is on the throttle) but if I let go I cant throttle again until I turn off the lights. so only the start of throttle doesnt work if the lights are on..
so in a night ride, I would have lights on at the start, no problems
when the battery voltage gets lower, while climbing hills (as voltage sags more) it starts happening,
until voltage is below 63 then I would have to turn off the lights for the throttle to work.
I first thought it is the battery not providing sufficient current but its a huge battery, and when I turn off the lights, the battery still runs at least another 20km, going uphills like a champ no problem
I am going to try to swap the regular lights back and maybe change the controller (I have a spare) to try, see if it helps,
also I noticed that the DC/DC converter is from 64v-48v, could it be the culprit? since probably the lights use it to convert to 12v?
I dont feel like riding at night anymore for safety, what do you guys think the problem could be?
your input is appreciated
