I guess I'm lucky in that all my riding will be on the walking/biking paved trails that run parallel to the streets around here or on the roads that have the wide shoulders so I won't ever be in a area that my wife can't get to me with the car. That being said, I too would like to be able to...

Thanks to all that responded to my post. I ended up going with the TruActive mount...

Interesting. I'll be looking forward to reading more about it once it gets out in daily use. GeorgeXP

Oh Sure.... You had to go and brag about your roads and now their saying we got a big snow dumping coming over night. Look What You Did!! You offended the Weather Gods! Everyone knows that if you want to make it rain, just go out and wash your car. Somewhere I had read that the battery on...

I have yet to ride my XP (Minnesota snow/ice) but as my main intended riding style will be throttle only I find it very hard to estimate throttle range when distance reports are given for riding under various PAS settings. As I hear folks reporting that with our XP's just turning the crank will...

It’s been a while, but I finally got my rear mounted battery box completed. No longer having access to getting a metal box bent up I had to make it out of wood. Keep in mind that wood working is not my expertise. I usually use the “Measure 3 times, Cut 3 times,…. and it’s STILL Too Short!!”...

Nice !! 👍👍 Because I am planning to put my battery in a wooden box (not a slide in) that the connector will be permently mounted in, I decided to run my wires out the bottom. Running both my wires out the side of the connector as was my Plan-A would make drilling the mounting holes I need a...

Any suggestions on a phone holder that will fit on the limited flat spot on our curved XP bars? I did use the search function for this forum and did not find much. It looks like we have about 1.25" for the clamp but most the mounts I read about do not say how wide the clamps are. I have a...

Sorry, I forgot to answer this part. I think it would be interesting to test this out if you had a constant current load to take out the variables. I would think that under this CC load, running the batteries in parallel or consecutively would yield the same results provided both batteries are...

Initially I was pondering this also when Plan-A was to hang it in a bag off the rear rack. As I am planning to make my own connector I figured I'd just bend a piece of spring clip metal in a |__| (rotate this 90 degrees) shape with the top edges bent in at 90 degrees to form a clip that when...

I did check their web sight and I thought I read that it was non-conductive but I will check that again. In the past I have used regular clear (yellowish?) epoxy for making connectors but never did like the look. I have some J-B Weld on hand and thought I'd use it this time because I want to...

The male battery connector in the frame has a female Dean's connector on it that mates to a male Dean's on the controller. I decided to keep the setup as OEM as I could so I soldered two Dean's back-to-back to make a inline splice with 12awg silicone wire that is super flexible soldered to the...

In my case the load tests were done using 300w incandescent bulb in parallel with a 3-Way 50/70/100w bulb to allow me to keep near to a 2amp load as the voltage dropped. I have a G.T.Power Power Analyzer but it's not very accurate so for the math based numbers I used a Fluke 77 as the amp meter...

Yup, I didn't spend much time on thinking that suggestion through. After I posted it I realized it most likely would have to be independent of the motor controller. Type first think later :-( On the discharge I posted about above, battery was at 40.83v 11.73% drawing 1.89 amps 77.17 watts and...

I ran my battery through a discharge cycle yesterday. With no load on the battery it was at 54.21V (97.5%). I started the discharge using a “near” 1.9A constant current load and taking measurement every half hour. The measurement at 4:30 discharge time was 43.78V (a little lower than your...

Wow... One of these chains on the rear, a ski mounted on the front, we could go out and chase rabbits :) George

I wonder if the F/R lights die when the motor gets shut down. If they did then that would be a way of getting the voltage level (from your supply) without running the motor. Sorry I don't have anything on this end that can help much. All of my "Tools" are aimed at 13.8v (Hamop also) and the...

Is the point where the Low Voltage Cutoff starts flashing the same point where the controller cuts power to the motor control system? I agree with you, I'd think at 43.9v there should be "some remaining in the tank". George

Well Done!! Here's the Volt/Cell and SOC breakdown for your numbers: The v/cell is of course the Pack Voltage / 13 The SOC is based on 4.2v/cell Full Charge = 100%, 3.0v/cell End of Charge = 0% 1 - 43.9v 3.38 v/cell 31.41% 2 - 44.0v 3.38 v/cell 32.05% 3 - 45.0v 3.46 v/cell...

Well... Kinda, sorta, depends, some-what, there-abouts, in-the-neighborhood. :) So PIE : Power in Watts = I in Amps * E in Volts 500 watts = 10 amps * 50 volts 500 watts = 9.15 amps @ 54.6 volts Full Charge 500 watts = 10.52 amps @ 47.5 volts Nominal Charge 500 watts = 12.82 amps...
