I got a bunch of those resistors to do that mod. Thanks for figuring it out. I'm going to see how I like this program for a bit first before opening up the controller. The throttle works well in all PAS levels except PAS0 for the most part. 27W in PAS0 is hardly working and as soon as there is...

You can do very little through the display. You must have the programming cable to program the controller and to add the .el file and modify it if needed. Paul sent me a new controller and the .el file to try first. I did not use the new controller, not yet anyway. The controllers have Bafang...

I can't say enough good about EM3ev. Both Paul and Joseph respond to emails in 24hrs with an apology for the delay. At least they aren't relying on forums to do their tech support! I too got a HD with throttle issues. I had no idea it wasn't going to work like my 02 ver1. If I pedaled and used...

Sadly we canceled our model 3 order. We waited for 2 years to get our $38000 car. Then our number finally came up and it was going to cost us close to $60000 if you really wanted to drive it.The tesla was going to cost us $760/mo with $10K down. We got our $1000 back in 2 days! Sad that we...

About 18A constant and 26A peak which can last for several minutes. I have to use too much heat to weld the .2mm Nickel and the cell is getting hotter than I would like. I think I will just use the .15mm and double it up. That is how the pack was made.

I didn't notice that and see no shorting there but the more than half of the nickle strip being blown out is what I saw. I don't see how they could say that I didn't store the pack correctly and that is why it failed. I have 2 other ebikes that hardly get used any more at all with no issues, not...

I'm not sure what happened first. It is clear that some damage was done at the factory seeing more than half of the nickel strip is blown out. I noticed no smoke when it started to fail but I was riding and the pack is in the triangle frame bag. I didn't open up the BMS till after the failure.

Yes they do fit nicely on the positive cells but the negative will be on top of the holders unfortunately. Outside of design my biggest problem is weld consistency making sure I don't burn some diameter off the fuse wire at the weld. I have played with resistance soldering with good results but...

Interesting observation, the cells that failed were in and next to the group that had been shorted out during the build of this pack from Luna. I noticed the damage the first day I received the pack after taking the wrap off! I decided to use the pack anyway being we were in a rush by then. My...

What do you think of this layout? 52v 20ah Luna brick rebuild. This is the top of the two bricks put together. The bottom will use neg fuse wire as well. My thoughts were to use only neg fuse wire so if wire slag falls between batteries it won't short out. 2 layers of 8mm x .2mm nickle on...

I bought these 300ANL fuses with holders. Marc said that I don't need them if using a car battery but highly recommends them if using a small pack. Something else to put in my inventory of lessons learned...

Use green grinding wheels, aluminum oxide wheels will dissolve grinding tungsten.

My 110v didn't and was told I should of got the 220v so I did. It did no better. It does .1mm//004" Nickle and 30AWG fuse wire. Got malectrics welders now. Ver3 is nice and Marc is a great guy to work with.

.15mm with a small ring of 1/32" solder under tab. A lite brushing of flux on tab only. 50MS
