    Quickest/cheapest way to upgrade my current ebike for a little more top speed?

    You can try your bike set up with a b(o)rrowed 52v battery. In theory you should get 8% more watts and your motor will turn faster. I don't know if it will be enough for 4 additional mph.

    The weakest link for me: the chargers

    A truly smart charger should control the battery cells individually, charging time and total voltage is not a guarantee of a good balanced charge. The way the battery cells are soldered to the battery monitor system dictates the charge process. My advice would be to trust your BMS and charger...

    What about a 30gr. nail clipper, long toe nails are a pain in the as* in bike shoes :)

    Electronic Anemometer

    64 gr. , I know I have one and it's the last thing I would bring on a ride. I bought one for drones and falconry and never used it. My own perception of the wind is accurate enough.

    My Electrical people… I need battery help

    I don't think you should expect a lot better from this battery. Your controller can draw, wide open throttle, 52.4V x 18AH = 936 Watts/hour and your full battery 524 Watts/hour, that is less than 1/2 hour of wide open throttle before the BMS cut.

    My controller uses a ring terminal for the battery but my battery has an XT60

    Ask someone to make one for you. Look locally for a hobby shop, bike shop, mechanic, RC club, Auto parts....

    My controller uses a ring terminal for the battery but my battery has an XT60

    From the pic, it is a female XT60, the same as the battery ... I know it's confusing.

    My controller uses a ring terminal for the battery but my battery has an XT60

    You will probably need a wire with 2 rings at one end and a male XT60 at the other end.

    Fast charger?

    Everything I have read on this thread is true and verifiable, but I would not trust a BMS with a 2A charging jack, for more than 2A or 3A. I can't imagine they build a BMS with 5A in mind and at the finish they all decide to put a 2A charging jack ! to save 2 cents ? I think that the true...

    Fast charger?

    Also, your BMS, battery management system, won't accept it . The over-current protection should protect the circuit.
