    Recharging Monster Sized Batteries

    Significant considerations are a battery's awkward size and weight with regard to installing and uninstalling for recharging. Another concern is with the mechanical wear/stress over time from coupling and uncoupling the battery.

    Recharging Monster Sized Batteries

    Understanding that an optimal temperature range for recharging a Li Ion battery (or any battery) is +45°F /-80°F , and that would enable garage recharging for the 10 months period of fair weather biking around here. The essential questions then would be as follows: Is it be safe to store a...

    Recharging Monster Sized Batteries

    With my old ebike, the 36V/12Ah battery needed a recharge cycle after every commute, that isn't the situation with the CCX's 52V/19.2Ah battery. While I liked the idea of removing the smaller-lighter battery and recharging in an indoor environment, a 13pound monster battery pack seems happy with...

    Those are my sentiments, too! With my old ebike, the 36V/12Ah battery needed a recharge cycle after every commute, that isn't the situation with the CCX. While I liked the idea of removing the smaller-lighter battery and recharging in an indoor environment, a 13pound monster battery pack seems...

    CCX Race Mode Offers Less Assistance than Sport Mode?

    No Issues with the controller firmware here!:D It's 11:00 PM and mighty chilly outside tonight (about 15° ); In the garage it's 37°. After reading about the "0" mode issue, I thought "Have I missed something?" While there have not been any issues with my CCX during the first 115 miles, who...

    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...

    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...
