    How to cool down the controller ?

    If your controller is not shutting down then it's not a problem. 50c or 122 F is not really that hot. Hot would start around 60C

    Replacing battery

    I know you've seen the charts Thomas. 3.7 is 85% discharged. You can go lower under a load but Vipers discharge method is very low amp draw so there is very little spring back. He wrote he ran is pack down to 32V. Unless he's running an 8s battery, that is way to low and why I addressed my...

    Replacing battery

    Viper You are over discharging your battery at 32 volts. You should never go below a resting voltage of 3.7 per cell. Doing so damages the battery. So multiply 3.7 times your batteries cell count and try not to go below that. When your battery sits for more than a month, the chemistry in the...

    Vampire Drain on eBikes

    You wont see any difference for at least a month. Probably closer to 3 months for a 1% drop. Also they drop a little faster in hot weather versus cold.

    Bosch battery not charging to 100%

    I lived in Orange County for 55 years and moved to Las Vegas 3 years ago. I miss living there. Anything below 70F is cold to a battery and gets worse as you go down.

    Bosch battery not charging to 100%

    There are loses in the wiring between the battery, esc and controller. Your display is not a high tech electronics monitor ether. Also is your battery cold? A battery will read lower when it's cold too. I would say 96% is within tolerances between all the factors going on.

    Recharging Monster Sized Batteries

    Lithium doesn't need very much oxygen to burn and there is no way to put it out once it catches fire. The smartest thing you can do is be smarter than the battery. Always place your battery in an area where if were to catch on fire, it can't catch anything else on fire. Lipo bags are a false...

    Recharging Monster Sized Batteries

    I would like to point out that lipo bags don't really protect you like you think it should. If a battery catches fire, the bag will contain some of the fire but not all of it. The flames have to escape somewhere and there is always an opening in the bag for flames to escape. There has to be or...

    Recharging Monster Sized Batteries

    I'm sure you've seen me post about batteries and temperatures. Anything below freezing can damage the electrolyte in your battery. Best to bring it in the house if it's going to be that cold.

    Narrowed down to four choices - Help me choose

    I have bad knees too. This was my choice. It has a cadence sensor so it apply's power as soon as you pedal. It also has a throttle that I added on and purchased from Raleigh.

    Narrowed down to four choices - Help me choose

    I think I would rather have a Juice CCX than the Evelo. But that's just me because it's faster, more power and bigger battery.
