A simple mod I am considering is linking the battery charge terminal with the controller terminal inside the bike. This would let me charge directly to the drive terminals. However, that seems like a very bad idea. Of I could just wire the barrel connector directly to the drive terminals of...

So yeah, I could put it on a wall timer, plug it up, when it reaches full charge the CD60, battery charger, and battery will continuously turn each other on and off until the wall timer stops the cycle. I don't think this would be good for the battery or charger though and I am sure the relay...

Yes, it reaches the desired charging percent. However, setting dOP does not work because once the desired charge is set, the battery is disconnected by the CD60, this causes the charger to shut down and cut power. Now the CD60 has no power from the battery or the charger; it goes off. Charger...

I'm wondering if just putting a small resistor across the battery charge terminals if that might do it...

Also Gionnirocket, since my battery disconnects power to the charging port unless it's being charged, I can't do your simple trick of reversing the charger and battery terminals on the CD60. I tried it even though I was sure it wouldn't work, and it did not. I need something to force the...

So I can't think of a way around this problem without modifying the battery or the charger, and that I don't really want to do. On my system, there seems to be a fatal flaw in using the CD60 and I don't think it will be applicable in my charging system. It's because both my battery is too...

Yes, with just a bit of tinkering this will do nicely. Much smaller and lighter than I expected somehow. Can't wait to get it dialed in. What settings do you use? craigr

Yeah I get that it's a hack and that's one of the things I love about it. With some trial and error it should work. I considered being a normal person for once and just getting the 48v 3amp Luna Mini Charger. But then, if I ever get a 52 volt battery in the future I'd have to get a different...

OK weird. When I plug the charger into the battery on board barrel connector, the center two battery terminals jump up to charging voltage and the controller terminals drop to low voltage. I guess this is all related to the battery protection circuit. How complex is this battery? It says...

One of the reasons I just joined this forum is to say thanks for this Gionnirocket. My CD60 is arriving today. I'm a bit worried about implementing this on my battery, but that adds to the fun. I'm totally new to e-bikes so here goes. My battery seems strange as it has just four connection...
