Hey everyone, I bought this battery on Amazon and would like to know the battery percentage when I’m riding. Is that possible? I can get a voltage screen but don’t know how to program it for 100%, 75%, 50%, etc. I literally don’t know what voltage would make the bike shutoff meaning that would be 0% basically…..?

 
The shutoff voltage for your bike is the LVC listed on the controller itself. If it's programmable on the controller, then whatever it is set to. Normally this is 3v to 3.3v per series cell of the battery pack; for 13s that's 13 x 3v (or up to 3.3v). It's a lot easier on the pack to shut off at a higher voltage, and doesn't lose you access to very much pack capacity by doing this.

The battery will have a BMS that will act as an emergency shutoff to prevent pack damage if the controller doesn't shut off above the BMS LVC (but you shouldn't depend on that for everyday shutoffs; that's what the controller's LVC is for). If the battery doesn't state what that LVC is, you can guess that it will probably be about 2.8v x the number of series cells (13 for a 48v pack).


Personally I suspect this battery isn't as good as it claims, based on what we've seen for a lot of cheap batteries--the usual is that the cells aren't good enough to sustain the currents stated, or dont' have the capacity claimed, or both. (or worse, aren't even new cells) It's also unlikely that it would last 1500 cycles. Most likely they've "accidentally" shifted the decimal point over, or "accidentally" added the 1.

If you read the reviews, there are numerous problems reported with them, even in the positive reviews (such as the battery getting "warm" or "hot", which shouldn't happen when used within it's specified limits).
