Just closing the loop on this. Got the Mean Well HLG 185H 54A and wired it up. Everything is working fine. Set the amperage output to ~3A and and the voltage to 54V. Battery charges no issue. The Mean Well does get pretty warm by the time its done charging (painful to touch for more than...

Thanks Moto! Yea, thanks to the helpful people on this thread, I learned I'll have to dial in the HGL during the first use (to the correct voltage and current), and then its 'set it and forget it'.

Thanks all! Ordered the Mean Well HLG-185H-54A.

I think wineboyrider is referencing my setup/question. The charger that came with my battery supplied 3A. The Mean Well will supply 3.4A, so I think it'll be within its specs. I'm not actually sure what BMS is in my battery pack...

Thanks everyone for the advice! One last sanity check before I buy: Would the Mean Well HLG-185H-54A 54V 3.45A 185W (https://amzn.com/B01800LJHE) be compatible with my battery pack? It has the right voltage and has slightly more amperage than the dead charger. It doesn't say anything about...

Thanks for the feedback. Do you have a recommended HLG model #? The HLG's don't seem to call out that they're Li-Ion compatible, is that something I need to be concerned with? If I have a 48v battery, should I be looking for a 48V charger? Or should I be looking for a 54V charger?

Hi Endless-Sphere! Ya'll were really helpful when I was spec-ing my ebike conversion, and things have been going great. Unfortunately my S180W charger burned out yesterday, so I need a replacement. And I'm a bit hesitant to buy one because initial research shows that different chargers are...

After about a month of riding, the BMSB-built wheel had spokes coming loose like crazy. After every other ride there'd be 2-6 spokes that were completely loose (could re-screw the nipple on using my fingers). Took it to the shop to get rebuilt. Needed new spokes custom ordered from Phil...

Build almost finished, just have to route/hide wires and waterproof. http://imgur.com/3GqbMu0 Decided to zip tie wires to the frame and coil any excess wire in a small frame bag.

Wheel size is set correctly, haven't checked with GPS. Battery is at half, so that explains that. Thanks! Now time to route wire and start water proofing.

Emotate: Thanks for the response. I'll keep an eye out for a higher wind 48v or 36v replacement. Question for everyone: 1) Does the Max Speed setting do anything? It defaults to 25kph (only displays max speed in metric), which is ~15.5mph. I've up'd it to the max (72kph), but the engine...

Honestly, for now, I'm good with it as it. I'm in an urban environment so I don't expect to have many chances to get up to full speed. And the pickup from a standstill is nice.

Finally got around to mounting this setup (q128h 48v800w 201rpm, 48v 11.6ah Panasonic bottle) yesterday. Initial results: WOT (no pedaling) on flat: ~16mph WOT (no pedaling) up a good incline (ramp up to a pedestrian bridge): ~12mph WOT (no pedaling) down moderate decline: just under 18mph

Looks like that's what I'm going to have to do. Jack from BMSB got back to me, he claims those Julet connectors are 'special' and that I can buy more through BMSB. That's annoying.

Anybody know what type of connector BMSBattery uses for their 09 battery/controller<->display/throttle/brakes connects? And where I can buy some replacements? Looking to swap out some of the 'stock' components with different components (throttle and HBWS) and I would like to minimize the...
