ah shite ;-) Will post here when I've done it then...

Nobody? Does anybody know then if the wiring for Crystalite 4 series is the same as for Crystalite 5 series, as we have the wiring for infineon to 5304 on this thread already... (really don't want to dig out the fuses and spreadsheet again!)

Known combo for infineon controller to crystalyte 4 series anybody?

My commute is 3-6 miles depending which way I go - there are a couple of hills which my 350w bafang coped with just fine (ahem!) I have a 3 speed switch fitted to my infineon controller which gave me > too slow to use on "1" > about 17-19mph on "2" > about 22-27(down hill) on "3" with my...

Ok, like everybody said would happen, my 72v/infineon controller combination has blown up my 350w Bafang motor. I need a replacement in a hurry, but am baffled by the choice on offer... I'd rather buy from a European distributor to save on delivery time and cost... I've been looking at the...

Err wow - those powabykes are really ugly! What I liked about the Tato bike was that it was a simple, clean design - unlike so many e-bike frames... ...Just like the ones everybody else posted - well, each to their own I suppose!

Well, Dogman - it looks like you were right! I rebuilt the pack, using spring connectors, bus bars and plywood. I recharged every single cell using a 3.3v Camera charger, put it back together, connected it in serial and WOW! I got the 72v buzz I'd been looking for - for about a mile - then my...

OK - just gave a single cell a bit more manly a test - I hooked it up to a car cigarette lighter - I'm not sure of the actual draw of this, but WikiPedia seems to think about 10a at 12v = 120W. The voltage sank to 3.19v immediately and the cell gave a constant 1.5-1.6A for 50 minutes before the...

I have very little money! This bike was working in its present form 2 years ago, it was only when I went chasing speed that it all started to go wrong(!) since then I've bought a cycle analyst, another 36v 10ah battery, 2 new bms's, 3 chargers, disc brakes, 4 battery housings ... I've spent too...

Err wow - that's not what other people said - I'm no expert here, I was assuming the were dead coz other people told me they were! {http://www.endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=18445} I have checked the voltage going in from the charger periodically, and it's not gone over 4v - I...

Well, in an ideal world I'd like the 36v 10ah pack I originally paid for! If I can get a valid 36v 10ah pack then I can just wire it back up using my existing Ping BMS and charge using my existing 36v charger - plus the current switch wired in to my controller would then work properly (it was...

5w eBike :D gonna try me one of those :oops: There doesn't appear to be any voltage sag at all (from the 5w bulb any ways - gonna find myself something more meaty) should I load the cells individually or string them together to get something close to the load that the test device is...

Just tested my first recharged cell. I had it wired to a 12v 5w car brake light. It drew 0.9A for 1 hour 15 minutes before the current started to drop slightly. Voltage remained at 3.3v throughout. Now then, please attempt to follow my flaky maths and point me out if I'm wrong here. My...

Ok - so I've charged a couple of cells with my nokia charger and they seem to be holding steady at 3.3v thing is I've got no idea how long to leave 'em on charge for! So I've dug out a camera charger used for 3.7v li-ion batteries - this has a charging/charged led on it. Will this give me an...

Ah, well - this battery had been left for 18 months(!) So will my 5.7 volt Nokia charger be OK for this job? Re contacting Jimmy Wu - nah, I don't think that's going to happen ;-) Oh and links - copy the link you're linking to out of the address bar of the browser, paste it into your text...
