Hello!
Specs:
KT LCD3
60v 18AH battery that charges up with a 72v (manufacturer supplied) charger
P5: 12
C12: 4
Hopefully someone can shed some light for me as I'm a tad confused about a few things.
1. What sort of minimum and maximum voltage should this battery see, is 72v safe for a 60v battery? At 58v pedal assist still works fine, but the bike dips with high-throttle, however I did have some difficulty getting it to charge yesterday from 58v. For a 60v motor what LVC (low-voltage cutoff) should I expect?
2. How do I get the KT LCD3 to read this battery accurately? I can't see much online stating they can even be used beyond 48v but this bike works, so it.. must, right? My battery indicatory on the display is totally useless currently.
3. How do I calculate P5 and C12 settings for a 60v/72v battery? Current values are above.
4. I've seen people mentioning seeing the live voltage displayed, but not sure how that is done, that would be super handy to know.
Thanks for your help, I'm wary of doing damage to the battery by running it too low and not sure if the bike will cut it off given it's probably looking for a 48v battery and not this one.
