    Just received a new Dorado 25ah battery

    They don't have an Aliexpress site (I asked), but Alibaba is linked to Aliexpress (you will use your Aliexpress login for Alibaba). The way it works is either send an inquiry via Alibaba (Dorado 25ah) or I found it easier to just email Jenny at ([email protected]) and ask for a fresh price...

    Just received a new Dorado 25ah battery

    It has been mentioned in a few threads here but Reention is producing a new case for their Dorado series of batteries that allow 21700 cells to be used instead of 18650. This increases the max capacity of that battery to 25ah using Samsung 50E cells (@48v). The battery is available in 36v, 48v...

    Reention Dorado 17ah 48v charger led goes green always

    To charge just one group of cells you need to think of your 48v battery pack as a group of 13 small 4.2v batteries wired in series. The balance lines all come from the interconnection point of each of the 13 groups. You can simply send 4.2v down the correct pair of balance wires to charge a...

    Wiring retention ion 48 volt bike

    Reention is just a battery manufacturer, they don't make actual bikes (or controllers/displays). They made your battery basically Can you take some more pics of your bike and/or identify a few things: 1) Bike mfr (some side pics and pics of any labels on the bike) 2) There should be a...

    Reention Dorado 17ah 48v charger led goes green always

    For my battery I was really hoping it was something simple like that. Not the case though, tried to fuses and checked the wires, in my case I was sure it wasn't a loose wire or fuse though as when I plug in the charger the BMS shuts down entirely for a few minutes before coming back to life, but...

    Reention Dorado 17ah 48v charger led goes green always

    I am repairing a Dorado battery myself at the moment similar symptoms. Doesn't charge (light stays green) but does discharge properly. I have a new BMS coming for mine and via other batteries and chargers I've eliminated the obvious (fuses, bad chargers, bad connectors). I can say I have 2 wires...

    Cut-off voltage, BMS or motor ?

    To see your battery pack nose dive in minutes from ~54v to 49v suggests a problem with the cells to me. Is it by any chance a square shrink wrapped battery pack purchased from Aliexpress or eBay, etc? I am wondering if someone sold you a battery pack advertised as cheap and with good specs and...

    My son's bike is in that state now. Just 1 key. We have a new bracket and set of keys coming for it :-)

    Lost key , does anyone know what kinda key it uses?

    Found something even better? https://www.aventon.com/products/replacement-key-for-e-bike-battery?variant=39825958011075 Pick the Pace 500 Reention edition and enter the number from your lock. They should be able to cut you one.

    Lost key , does anyone know what kinda key it uses?

    Number for the key should be on the lock. But finding blanks is tricky and then someone who knows how to decode the numbers is another thing. If the battery is off the bike and assuming it's not a Prague or folding bike, this is the part I'd recommend getting...

    Above knee amputee

    Yeah I'd bike by you 10 times before I ever noticed your leg, you just look like every other rider, even in your pic. Bike with a pant leg and nobody will even look twice.

    Cut off voltage of the standard Moscow?

    My feeling is no it's not done for longevity. I have a feeling that brand new cells will stay at 54.6v (13 * 4.2v) after charge but don't need to be in the world long before they no longer keep at the full 4.2v but start to go down. My existing batteries are around 4.16v per cell and I'm...

    Would either or both of these ebike batteries be OK ?

    I don't know the weight but @Jenny Mao probably will, she sold it to me and packed it herself, lol. She works for Aijiu and is a member here. If Jenny doesn't I'll be sure to weigh it on arrival and post it.

    Would either or both of these ebike batteries be OK ?

    Quick note. It was billed as a 20ah and you got 18.5Ah but the battery capacity that a pack is rated at is universally calculated as the sum of the cell capacities in parallel. So for a 18650 rated at 2900mah and a 13s5p pack the capacity would be marketed as a 5 x 2900mah = 14.5ah. But that...

    Thanks everyone!

    If you just need a few spokes to keep you until the proper ones arrive. Accept the smaller 14g ones if you get them custom made at a local bike shop. I have two 14g spokes in my Moscow right now while waiting for 13g to arrive.
