    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...

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    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.

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    There is a very significant discrepancy between the charts at 20% ! Based on your formula for using the chart above, a 14s battery, like the CCX 52V battery, has a 20% voltage of 52.22 volts. How are you able to verify the charts accuracy? Where can I find a link with a write-up on the...

    New CCX Pictures

    I've got B17's on all my diamond frame bikes (4)! It's the only saddle with which I ever accomplished a century ride (100.99 miles) http://bikejournal.com/blog.asp?rname=bikerjohn&cdate=9/13/2008 This past October I had to have the saddle repaired when the rails snapped. It was worth the $106...

    My only customization thus far is a beloved Brooks saddle. Eventually I will change the pedals over to Power Grips and add a rear bag with panniers.

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    Justin, I'm confused a bit. The voltage/percentage capacities you state above vary significantly from from the graph I re-posted yesterday: I'd like your input to clear up the discrepancies. For instance the graph I posted shows 56.3 volts as an 85% charge on a 52 volt 14s pack (-vs-80% on the...

    CCX Voltage

    I have re-posted the graph below which shows voltage and capacity percentages for 5 different battery pack designs. For the CCX with it's 52 Volt Battery pack, the graph shows that at 80-85% capacity the unit has a voltage of 55.4 -56.3; With the battery discharged to 20% there are 45.4 volts...

    CCX Voltage

    My max/min voltage charge level goals on the 52V 19.2Ah battery are 56/45 respectively. Setting a minimum discharge voltage on the controller is easy. It's a different story for setting the maximum voltage to 80% (about 55/56 volts). What I have done is to plug the stock charger into a countdown...

    Yet another CCX owner

    You've expressed the Juiced battery and controller benefits, well! I especially appreciate The Juiced design which enables easy monitoring battery voltage. Monitoring the state of battery voltage is a plus with this Juiced bike which wasn't a feature on the EG Zurich, my first ebike. Being able...

    Yes, this rear rack condition has been an issue for a few of us. I was able to modify the condition by realigning the offset status of the rack. Refer to the blog messages 72-75 in "service and delivery problems" where I have written a description of my fix of the issue. In the link below is a...

    For those who still have both?

    I focused on the Hub motors mainly for their proven reliability, and lower price. I considered a mid-drive but for the most part their internal mechanics seem more prone to wear. Additionally, the crank motors have had a reputation towards a propensity to stress the chain. What put me over the...

    Knee protection

    Am I understanding that you consider knee pads essential equipment to wear on a bike ride? Would you propose that Lycra-clad outfits worn by many cycling enthusiasts is reckless with regard to safety unless they are also wearing knee pads? Thinking Chopperbill was being sarcastically...
