Hi all.
on my newly finished ebike conversion, using an Ezee geared hub motor, i purchased a 48V 15ah ping v2.5 battery.
i was under the impression that it would be suitable for the ezee.
turns out it's not capable, and the BMS is constantly shutting off the power.
i have set the current limit on the CA as low as 7 amps, and the BMS is still shutting down.
with the limit set at 7A the CA is still reporting an A max or 16.82 and V min of 49.6.
i have emailed ping and purchased a high rate BMS for the pack, but i fear that even the high rate BMS
will not work, due to voltage sag.
i am probably going to have to sell this pack on ebay, and hope that i can get some of my money back.
anyone have ideas on what i should try next ?
i have thought about lipo (8x 6s for 48V 20AH) but then charging them all takes an age.
and i wouldn't have a LVC for safety either.
please help me....
Jason.
EDIT:
this problem now seems to be solved. you can read the rest of this thread if you wish, but to sum it up, i had a wiring
issue, and the problem was not battery related at all.
EDIT 2: my wiring problem wasn't the cause after all. it looks like bad connections on the BMS sense wires.
im still testing, and hope this is the end now of my problems.
Mr Ping deserves credit for trying to help me get to the bottom of my issue.
he was always quick to answer emails and questions i had.
his reputation for good batteries and great customer service is well deserved from my point of view.
