What's everyone charging their batteries to? Chemistry Nominal Volts Full Volts Complete Amps Trickle Start Volts Trickle End Volts Trickle Amps Looking to setup a custom profile on my charger and wondering what others are finding as the best soln for usability and longevity. If there's links...

Vaseline is the same as dieelectric grease right? Not the old Vas, but the new stuff. Ya?

If you scroll down on this page, they have a list of adapters. Agree that I do not see one that looks like a perfect match. I'd reach out to their tech support, [email protected], with that pic and see if they can help. They're not too fast, but they are very helpful...

That is an impressively nice front fender! I need that on my bike!

They say they will send " ... replacement battery contact connector ... ", so, ya I'm guessing they're gonna send me about 6 inches of wire with the female deans connector.

Ya I hear crimp terminals are less brittle than soldering. Still amazed that clip/screw on connectors aren't the norm. Warranty parts on the way. Guess I'll ziptie the replacement deans connectors together.

I've atteempted to clean up this melted Deans (t-plug) socket. Dug out the melted plastic and, since the contact is melted down and into the plastic, I've fashioned a brass shim to take up the space. It works ... for now. I don't think this would have been a problem if the connector had a...

Replaced my factory Chao Yang off road tires with the Michelin City Grip2 after getting a 2+ inch nail right through the tire, Tannus liner, and tube. Noticably better handling on the road (which is the only place I ride) with the City Grip2 tires. FWIW, if anyone else is thinking about doing...

New day, new issue! :D The battery connector is melted! My guess here is that with vibration, the connection giggled looser and looser until it got to that point of barely connecting. Tiny connection surface equals high resistance equals heat equals melt! Seems the car companies know this...

Yes I have the default profile set. It looks like it's the "pulse" thing. I just hooked up the factory charger to a multimeter and I can see the voltage jumping and if you look at the little fan motor in the charge brick, it's constantly jumping-stopping-jumping-stopping, about once a second.

I've mesured the OD on the barrel using calipers. The factory barrel and the Grin barrel are identical AFAICT. Using the drill bit size method, the OD is 7/32 which is ~5.5mm, so that checks out. The ID is 5/64 which is nearly 2mm!! o_O That 5/64 dirll bit is just a bit more snug feeling in...

TY all! Yes the battery does still take a charge. I am able to use my factory charger. I was kinda wiggling the barrel from Grin the other day and for a moment the display shown 'charging' (or similar) so I'm pretty sure the unit works. Also, I have two, and they behave the same, so...

Hey all. Looking to replace my factory charger. Picked up the Grin Satiator and their DC 5.5x2.5/2.1mm barrel adapter. Appears to be a good fit, and feels like a good fit, but my battery isn't charging. I'm guessing the barrel on my battery is something else. 5.5x1.5mm? IDK. Not sure how...
