Well, I had fun building this Ebike, and I want to thank everyone on here for their help in building it. I couldn't have done it without the help. But now, the prospect of losing my house and livlihood is forcing me to sacrifice some things, and I'm selling my bike. If anyone is interested in...

lol. Only problem is, I don't have anymore money for more batteries, and probably won't for awhile. I do accept donations though. lol.

SUCCESS!!! After an all day excursion of salvaging my wiring from my last pack setup, I finally got the new pack setup put back together. Here's what I ended up with.... The New Packs... In the bag, they fit perfect, no more straining, no more broken connections... And finally, my CA is...

This is what I've got. Not sure if I want to use Andersons to connect them in Series though. Anyone have any suggestions for locking connectors?

Ok. Thank you guys for your patience with me. I finally got it, it sunk in. Here's what I got, yellow blocks represent connectors for separating the packs for charging... The alternative would be to solder them with now connectors and figure out a way to run a connector from the stock...

Now on the parallel part, do I connect positive to positive and negative to negative on each of the battery pairs, or just the positives on one pair and the negatives on another pair after they're connected in series? Ok, what about this. With these packs being 28v each, six of them all...

Whoops, I didn't see his post. I'm just scared to do this I think. I've already had one near tragedy with this, and I'm afraid I'm going to hook something up wrong and blow it all up. I don't have anymore money to invest in this project either, which makes it even more frustrating.

Will that configuration give me 84v6Ah?

Ok, if I read that diagram right, then this would work.... If I didn't read it right, then what about this.... Finally, I think this is how I had it set up before....Should I just stick with it?

Ok, I just got done re-configuring my packs. I removed the cases, and the epoxy. I will never use epoxy again. Ever... I've got them oriented the way I want now. However, my last diagram that I put up was wrong, because the packs were mirrored in photoshop, and well, I'm not physics genius, so I...

On the 27v pack, I tried measuring the wires I soldered in, Positive and Negative. I measured from the charger plugs on the pack, Positive and NEgative. And I measured from the Postive and negative tabs inside the pack where I soldered my leads on. Funny thing is on the tabs inside, It was...

So, it should looke something like this then? Also, after removing the stupid-I-Will-Never-Use-Epoxy-Again Epoxy from the battery cases, I was able to crack open the pack that is only measuring 27v. I tested each cell, and each one is measuring 4.08v. So I don't understand why the pack is...

If I were to do that, it would only give me 84v3ah instead of the original 84v6ah I set out to achieve, which would mean the packs wouldn't last as long, right?

Thank you Laz. I could put a fuse holder in between the series wires, so that way, when I go to charge, All I'd need to do is remove the two fuses, then they'd no longer be in Series. I wish I was super smart like Maytag, and had the know-how to tear the packs completely apart, and make a solid...

Hot off the charger, with the multimeter, all of my packs are reading 28v except for one, and it's only giving 27v, and that's with either testing on the cables I installed, or using the prongs in the battery. So is the battery bad? I'm ending the charging cycle as soon as the charger light is...
