    2022 - Top 12 Bafang Ultra M620 Ebikes

    I mean, before ebikes were commonly mass-manufactured, many of the batteries I saw had either no BMS at all, or a full BMS, with per-row BMS seemingly rare by comparison... Pairing a specific line of batteries to a controller is mostly new with the advent of CANBus usage, but CANBus is in no...

    Ultra Tuning: Decoding the Voltage Section of Torque Tab

    I find it extremely annoying that I can't adjust the torque-sensing & per-Spd levels for each PAS mode, because the cuts made by each PAS mode stack in addition to the adjustments available on the Torque tab; so, any settings calibrated for ideal graduation in PAS 1 are far from ideal in PAS 5...

    Aside from calibrating the controller's expected baseline from the torque sensor, I'd say that adjusting the delay, decay timing, & decay rate, of the m620, to reduce run-on (without constantly disengaging→engaging→disengaging the motor's tiny pawl clutch) was the most singularly efficacious...

    Same data can (& does, when installed) get sent over UART: CANBus does not carry any different type of data (data is independent of how it's carried); UART & CANBus are just protocols by which data is carried. CANBus can use fewer wires, but the main reason OEMs like it, is the protocol's...

    Reention Dorado 48V 25Ah 29Ah&36V 30Ah (505L) Replacement Battery for eBikes Surface 604,NCM,Rize,Magnum,Aventon

    Apologies if this has already been asked & answered, but what are the maximum number of 18650 cells within the Dorado ID-MAX case? L2 mm is not listed in the images I've found, but the interior space looks more than adequate for 6 sets of 18650 cells to lay lengthwise? The honeycomb layout...

    That's a really interesting thread, but given the totally different battery connector\slot, I'm not sure it's relevant to Dorado Pro/Plus/Max/2170 505L cases (to fit "Surface 604, NCM, Rize, Magnum, Aventon", Frey AM1000v5, etc)? I'm looking to add as many 18650 cells as possible, to the...

    Reention Dorado 48V 25Ah 29Ah&36V 30Ah (505L) Replacement Battery for eBikes Surface 604,NCM,Rize,Magnum,Aventon

    Background: I've wanted a 21700 case packed with 18650 cells for quite a while, just due to an ample supply of cells at a local builder; however, the hype around silica graphene cells is getting to me, & the mere suggestion of such potential, has me returning to old questions of "so, how many...

    I do think they are a great option, but I'm trying to determine how many 18650 can fit in the 21700 case, in anticipation of some new 18650 cell types... Thank you so much for following up on the model for the interior dimensions! (It's not exactly a box of 90° corners, inside there; I felt I...

    Hi Jenny! I may have asked you this before, but has anyone done the math\geometry, on exactly how many 18650 cells (with BMS of course), could fit inside the Dorado 21700 505L? Without an exact 3D model of the interior angles, I'm having trouble mocking up a layout (I'm thinking lengthwise...

    Battery communication is mostly a matter of having enough wires strung to the cells: Most ebike BMS are only wired to sets of cells, rather than each cell individually; when wired together, you can only tell the state of each set, not it's individual cells, & have to take on faith that the...

    Reention Dorado 48V 25Ah 29Ah&36V 30Ah (505L) Replacement Battery for eBikes Surface 604,NCM,Rize,Magnum,Aventon

    So true! I can see the aesthetic appeal of batteries that fit entirely within the frame, & those batteries which don't fit inside almost might as well be externally mounted like shark packs & triangle packs... but for those of us who like the easy drop-in of the Dorado packs & already own some...

    You want the Canbus version? Any particular reason?

    While I do agree that a good safe battery is worth a lot of added cost, ovt's not hallucinating that in general prices have gone up more than costs, & due to what I'm guessing is a bit of relative rarity compared to other case types, prepacked Dorado cases are showing some markup compared to...
