In building my current Catrike project, I've got a Bafang G310 in my rear wheel, hooked to my UPP 16aH hailong battery (with installed Baserunner) which has given me so much grief and is still throwing Throttle Voltage errors (11) so that I cannot even run the AutoTune using the software. Prior to installing the Baserunner (on Grin's advice) I had installed two different GR4820 controllers (the initially recommended model) which both either had defective mosfets from delivery or blew them on being powered up (?).
Today, I have unhooked everything from the system except the Cycle Analyst. There is no PAS, no throttle, just the CA, controller/battery, and wheel. But, according to the Cycle Analyst, the system has bled off half of an Amp Hour in the last day, with nothing running to ghost-drain on the battery that I can fathom.
Am I wrong here? This should sit indefinitely without running the battery down, as there should be zero current draw in this circumstance. Correct, or am I mistaken?
But my MG60 motored fat trike, also fully outfitted by Grin (w/ a 4820 controller), never seems to leak any juice (a technical term, to be sure) and works like a champ.
Is it possible that my motor is the issue and is the source of the voltage faults? I've swapped out every other component with known-good units and keep winding up back at this point.
As this too is a geared hub motor, the wheel should rotate freely (unpowered) when off the ground, right? My MG60 will just spin away by hand, no problem. This G310 always has some palpable resistance whether powered up or not; it doesn't seem to make a difference. I just tried this side by side with both rears off the ground and the light bulb went on above my skull, however dim.
Any input?
