    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    If I can take a guess, You need a software update on your CCS display. Your display unit programming and read out information seem to be different from the CCX. Perhaps you would benefit from a software update in light of the fact that you are using the 52V 19.2Ah battery. My matrix display...

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    On today's short ride I started out with 53.5 volts in the battery pack. It was chilly out at 36 degrees and a significant 13 mph Northerly wind. The Erie Canal gets drained in the Winter around the Spencerport/Brockport area: When I finished the ride I photographed the displayed values: 15...

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    Setting the minimum voltage cut-off at a specific minimum voltage "under load" is a helpful factor for extending a Li-Ion batteries useful life. The controversy seems to be over what is the 20% voltage specification. There is a variance between the different charts that have been brought forth...

    First Ride on CCX

    The initial voltage was 57.5 , it dropped gradually during the ride to about 48.5 volts. After resting the battery at the end of the ride the voltage read was 53.5 volts (about a 4 volt drop in the 18 mile ride) The matrix advanced display showed a consumption of about 15.4 Wh/mile (during the...

    First Ride on CCX

    The CCX was a fantastic ride on the afternoon work commute: 18.08 miles; ride time: 57 minutes; Maximum speed 27.96 mph; Average speed: 18.84; Windy and cool but Sunny; 18 mph WSW wind; Avg: 46 ºF The 2nd work commute of 2019; Taking advantage of Dry roads and Sun on the third work day of...

    I would love to see a photo of the stem and spacer modification. Don't know what you mean by "L" frame?

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    The charts offered by Mark and Juiced seemingly conflict because they represent voltage values based on different states of battery use. At least that is my understanding based on Marks explanation. Apparently, the Juiced chart and the charts that Mark and devhead have generated are from...

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    Surfstar: Please be sure it is understood which battery pack capacity values you are referring to so that we blog readers understand that you are referring to a specific size of a battery, whether 36, 48, or 52 volts etc. For instance, I can only surmise that the values you list "42.1v as 20%...

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    Thank You Ravi for your #37 write-up! You have cleared up some of my misconception. The information you've provided a clear explanation on the density differences between Lipo(lithium Polymer) and Li-Ion 18650 batteries! One reason for some of the ongoing confusion in this blog is due to...

    Mark, I understand that the 18650 cells in the 52 volt Juiced Battery pack are a Lipo formula. What I am unclear about is how your chart supersedes the Juiced Website information? How are the voltage values on you chart calculated? Where can I find the equation used to generate your chart?

    Battery voltages.

    This is the information I have been going by -with regard to best utilization of my CCX battery. I am alarmed and confused by the chart posted by Mark, and his adamant assertion that his graph shows more accurate capacity voltages. I have been looking for clarification of the different values...

    Battery voltages.

    Mark, you seem absolutely confident that your chart is accurate for the boat and plane model batteries you sell. You are also adamant that the chart published by Juiced is highly inaccurate for the purpose of understanding battery voltage at various percentages. I don't fully understand the...

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    Mark, I'm curious to learn more! Do you sell a battery pack with a voltage configuration that can power an ebike? I did not see any 13s or 14s battery configurations on your web site. I'll be the first to admit I don't fully understand the significance of (s)tack numbers, except that a greater...

    CCX intermittent power

    Not to mention the 13# weight of the battery, but also in light of understanding an intermittent connection being a suspected wear issue, I have decided to leave the battery installed on the bike for most recharging.
