    man getting the tandem wired for two batteries is a bit crazy.

    All motors from 2016 or later support dual battery. But it is always good to do a software update (no need to call Bosch for that though). Also the batteries require a software from 2016 or later to support dual battery setup. The one with the higher charge is the active one when turning the...

    Battery dropping fast after charging. Hum ??? BOSCH Li ION PowerPack 500

    This is how it is supposed to work. The system cannot look into the future. It is recalculating all the time based on the past minutes/miles of riding.

    Battery dropping fast after charging. Hum ??? BOSCH Li ION PowerPack 500

    So when you have 25% left in the battery, you just turn it off and ride back home with no assistance? There is a BMS, Battery Management System in the batteries. And it works really well so you don't have to waste any time thinking about how to manage the batteries. Just ride and use them and...

    Battery dropping fast after charging. Hum ??? BOSCH Li ION PowerPack 500

    You can reset this at any time. It will adjust according to how you are riding and draining the juice. I am riding Bosch for over 10 years and never even looked at the range. After riding it for 1500km you should already have a feeling for how far you can go. If there is only one LED on the...

    Low Battery Cutout for Bosch Gen4?

    Confirmed. I have my bikes all set to 3W (lowest) as we are usually riding with multiple batteries. And rarely in the dark. So even if the light would drop the battery to 0%, we could just swap the battery.

    man getting the tandem wired for two batteries is a bit crazy.

    Those Gepida tandems were always a pain to get the chain and gears adjusted. And if the battery mounts are not close enough to each other, you will have to cut and extend the battery cable anyway to get it all connected on the Gepida. I would have spent the extra $ for the Moustache tandem which...

    Bosch Solar Charging

    It does. I have a brand new 625Wh horizontal PowerTube but no bike for it. Unfortunately nobody wants to buy it.

    Bosch Solar Charging

    Correct. And a car USB charger (12-24V) connected to the solar panel side (input) to get the 5V signal. That signal only goes to the first battery. From there you need the CAN bus connection to the second battery and of course the power connection. As soon as one battery turns on, they talk to...

    Bosch Solar Charging

    Parallel charging of two 500Wh Bosch batteries with a 50W panel. Works just fine, takes just a bit over 4 days until both batteries are 100% charged. After both are fully charged, they just turn on and off every few seconds which is no problem. Even with a smaller 30W panel I could create a...

    Now I know why my motor rusted.

    This is known since 2016. You can even get a replacement kit from Bosch (includes the right motor cover, bearing etc.). I already replaced that bearing on over 20 motors and always add that ring and grease. This plastic ring became standard on new motors later. Here you can find my post in the...

    Will I loose miles and rides in ebike connect if I delete one bike?

    The Kiox does not upload random mileage from any random motor you plug it in to. Imagine you would just put it on your buddy's bike and it uploads his mileage. That would be a glitch. It only records and uploads miles you are riding with the Kiox (or Nyon) itself. With any bike. Just like any...

    Will I loose miles and rides in ebike connect if I delete one bike?

    The miles you ride with a motor are stored in the motor. The miles you ride with the Nyon or Kiox are stored in the ebike connect database (as well as in the motor you are using). No matter what motor or bike you are using. I can ride the same bike with the Intuvia or Nyon (same mount). If I...

    Bosch Solar Charging

    Two panel in series works much better with the MPT-7210A. 4:30pm, two 50W panels. Almost 80W charging. Battery turned off at 100%. Too bad that folding 100W panel is sold out. I will do some more testing when I get the other charge controller.

    Bosch Solar Charging

    No. Both large in series and both small in series. They're all the same voltage. That's what the connected Kiox said. In the box is a motor PCB and a stripped Shimano battery with a Bosch BMS. I use this to monitor the battery charging process. That is not related to the light buffer. That...

    Bosch Solar Charging

    Some more testing today. Unfortunately, the MPT-7210A only does 100W if I put the panels in parallel. 17.5V to 42V. If I set them up in series and parallel, I get >6A. Lets see what the other charge controller can do. Just strange that it was still charging over 5A at 95% Bosch battery level.

    Bosch Solar Charging

    It was. After digging into the source code of the Diagnostic Software, I found that this supports up to 5 parallel batteries. However, Bosch never implemented it into the motor software. This was with a 2017 version motor software. System turns on, detects 3 batteries but does not like it and...

    Bosch Solar Charging

    The 6A charger "talks" to the battery to check if it has the 6A software. The batteries can also talk to each other. I will build another cable where I can plug in my charger and two batteries. For the charger it needs the 5V signal to wake the battery up. Between the batteries it needs the...
