    Diamondback hardtail with ammo box LiPo

    I'm not sure what you're asking. There are 8 lipos (6S, 4Ah each) in the .30 caliber ammo box. They're organized into two 'packs' of 4. Because of the connector clearance and the 1-inch spacer between the packs, I've not used all of the room in there. Two more lipos (total of 10) would fit in...

    Diamondback hardtail with ammo box LiPo

    Hi folks, I'll try to answer the questions all in one shot: All of the wiring for creating the 48v, 16Ah appearance to the controller happens inside the junction box connected by the Speakon's. Using 24v 32Ah is achieved without any internal changes to the ammo box. There is only one charger...

    Diamondback hardtail with ammo box LiPo

    Perhaps some of the members of this forum would find my recent build to be interesting. I ordered a group of eight 22.2v nominal (6s) 4Ah batteries and bundled them into two groups of 4. Each group of 4 has two 30A fuses that connect them to both pairs of the contacts in one Speakon connector...

    Should Always Monitor Lipos While Charging..

    What was the process/event that triggered this disaster? What kind of charger? What was the ambient temperature? What voltage and Ah capacity was the battery pack? How many packs were being concurrently charged? I'm asking all these things as I am just about to connect my new collection of...

    Zippy Flightmax / Turnigy lipo testing

    Thanks. I had downloaded the manual for that Accucel-6 product. The manual implied that feature but didn't explicitly state that it was in there. I guess 50W is only a 0.6C rate on a 4s-5Ah pack and only 0.3C on a 4s10Ah pack...pretty timid. I'll keep it on the list and hope for other...

    Zippy Flightmax / Turnigy lipo testing

    Ok, help me out here guys. I'm converging on a 4s-5000mAh building block solution. This will allow me to use the 8 units that I plan to buy in the following two configurations: a- 8s-20Ah to run my 500W Cyclone bike. (The Cyclone internal controller will tolerate the 29.6v-33v...I'm running...

    Zippy Flightmax / Turnigy lipo testing

    Where did you find such a deal? I'm interested in building some LiPo packs...objective of making multiple 4s 10000mAh members. Thanks.

    Known to Work Brushless Motor/Controller Wiring Diagrams

    I'm looking for a "known to work" combination for my Bafang motor and the Shenzen Sucteam BLP-4830 (48v-30A) controller. Right now it's wired up between the motor and the controller with each wire color matched for phase wires and Hall sensors. The single blue 'e-brake' wire is not connected...

    Multiple Cyclone Motors

    I installed a 6v 36Ah SLA battery in series with my 24v 20Ah NiMH pack to improve the performance of my 500W Cyclone kit. The combination now works much more to my liking. My guess is that the voltage from 24v 20Ah pack would sag because the M cells were a bit overtaxed by the amperage demand...

    Chain driven electric motors.

    I have a Cyclone 500W kit installed in the standard manner, and I like your topology better because it offers an opportunity to fix the chain alignment problem that I have. That mounting bracket for the motor looks like custom work! Currently the front crank on my bike is much further from the...

    Ultra Caps?

    It seems that 50-Farad 22Ah ultracaps are in the marketplace now. http://www.echo-electronics.com/blitzbzcap50050faradamplifierstyledigitalsupercapacitor-p-1076.html http://www.amazon.com/AROUND-INDUSTRIES-PLCPBT50-Battery-Capacitor/dp/tech-data/B000E3V9FS/ref=de_a_smtd I couldn't get much...

    Your Creation's Before & After Pics

    Here's my before and after... I've been lurking about this forum for a few weeks, and I finally decided to share the current state of my project with this fine group. It's a 500W Cyclone kit on a relatively large (approx 59cm from BB to seatpost bolt) traditional Diamondback frame. My...

    Cyclone 500w on BikeE

    Is there a possibility that the 500w motor is coupling to the frame that in turn is acting like a sounding board? In addition could the fairing be a focusing/reflecting agent for the motor's sound? I'm asking these questions because I'm in the middle of a Cyclone 500W build, and I'm...
