    Max charging amps of XP battery?

    Charging at 4 amps did not heat up the battery pack at all. I agree that heat is not good for batteries.

    Max charging amps of XP battery?

    Tested a full 4 amp charge with the battery out of the bike. The plug and socket started out at 76 degree room temp. After 10 minutes of charging at 4 amps the plug was around 92 degrees and the socket on the battery was 82 degrees. Temps stayed about the same for the complete charge. I will...

    Max charging amps of XP battery?

    Contacted Grin Technology concerning the charging amperage and they said that 4 amps should not be a problem, but if I wanted to be safe use 3 or 3.5 amps. I started with 3 amps and tested with my digital thermometer and there was no change in the plug temp. during charging at 3 amps. I will...

    Max charging amps of XP battery?

    I have a Grin Satiator battery charger that allows you to set charge profiles. I want to set a profile to charge my battery up to 85% each time to help with longevity. I am trying to figure out what to set the charging amps to. The included XP charger is a 2 amp charger. The Grin charging...

    Locking/Securing the XP

    Check out YouTube. Lots of lock videos. Seems like none are completely safe but some better than others. How you lock it is as important as what you lock it with.

    Lectric XP Ride and Range Reports

    This is our highest hill I did the test over. It is a rise of 68' in the middle and is a half mile total. Seemed like winter. It was 76 degrees.

    Serial number?

    Thanks! I took my phone camera and took several shots with the flash and could read it. It showed well with different angle shots and flash.

    Correct. No need to spray the painted metal. When I said I sprayed the bike I was referring to all the bolts, nuts, fittings, spoke ends etc.

    Lectric XP Ride and Range Reports

    Took the bike over our tallest high rise bridge here in Florida today. For those wondering about the climbing ability. PAS2 and 4th gear made it an easy trip at 15 MPH up and 25 MPH down with no assist. Looked like it used about a tenth of a volt.

    Let's design an inexpensive work stand for the XP

    Kimbo, a plastic spacer could be made with Starboard easily. Great addition to the plan! Never thought about adding wood to the top for stability. Another good addition. Crowd sourcing in action! :) I also thought that once the exact pipe to seat post tube clearance was worked out that the...

    Let's design an inexpensive work stand for the XP

    "Are you removing the battery to make it lighter". Yes. The more weight on top of the pipe the less stable it would be. For testing battery related operations you could leave the battery as they probably would not need aggressive forces applied to the bike like mechanical repairs. The chair...

    If you seal the pour before the rust starts then you are ahead of the game. Need to use it when the item is new. Been using it for thirty years and it works for me in the salt air of Florida.

    Let's design an inexpensive work stand for the XP

    This is my idea. Not to scale. The union on the pipe is to keep the bike from going all the way to the ground. Would have to work out the pipe height because of the angle the bike will sit with the front down. Need to keep the front wheel off the ground but the rear will be up and easy to work...

    My battery compartment damage was a bit more than most. It was hit so hard the metal was forced down into the compartment and it would not close. I dremmeled the metal out of the compartment and touched it up and you can't even tell it happened. It is aluminium so if you are going to paint your...

    Tip three... I ride in Florida on the beach so I needed extra protection from the salt. I taped my brake rotors and masked off my calipers then sprayed the bike with CRC pure silicon spray (Wally World $3) and let it dry in the sun. Then wipe off the residue. It drys better than other corrosion...

    Tip top.... If you find that your LCD screen is not working after working on your bike and you have checked every available connection then just turn on the key. Duh! :):)
