    New Battery Option - 48v 25AH

    Couple thoughts. 1) Jenny sells the 25ah battery I reviewed, but she also sells other capacities like the 21ah and 17.5ah/etc. On a value perspective it's not the 25ah that's the best value per ah of battery. The 21ah is an even better deal in terms of ah at only $535usd shipped (check with...

    Just received a new Dorado 25ah battery

    The weight is in the updated report but hidden in the details, it's 5.9kg on my scales for the new 25ah battery. Location was Nova Scotia Canada, not normally the hottest location on earth but that day was sticky hot on the ride back home. The ride to the cabin was fine and very comfortable...

    New Battery Option - 48v 25AH

    My order was a battery, charger, brackets and a BMS for a side project. But $650usd for just the battery with shipping. Jenny can get you updated prices.

    Reention Dorado 17ah 48v charger led goes green always

    @harryS. Your logic is sound but what doesn't track is that if a cell group is fully disconnected and reading zero then your batteries should no longer be 13s but more like two separate 7s and 6s packs, I am unsure how @Mansour got 46v from the battery originally. Maybe that group kinda makes...

    Ncm Prague Problem

    Loose connection seems like a possibility, you'd had a look and no chance there's a bare wire, corroded wire or bad connector around where the battery connects?

    Just received a new Dorado 25ah battery

    I wanted to update everyone properly on my experience on the literally first ride of the Dorado 21700 25ah battery. It arrived less than 24hrs before my planned trip so other than my son taking a trip to the mailbox we literally charged this battery and set out on a multiday trip fingers...

    Just received a new Dorado 25ah battery

    They don't have an Aliexpress site (I asked), but Alibaba is linked to Aliexpress (you will use your Aliexpress login for Alibaba). The way it works is either send an inquiry via Alibaba (Dorado 25ah) or I found it easier to just email Jenny at ([email protected]) and ask for a fresh price...

    Just received a new Dorado 25ah battery

    It has been mentioned in a few threads here but Reention is producing a new case for their Dorado series of batteries that allow 21700 cells to be used instead of 18650. This increases the max capacity of that battery to 25ah using Samsung 50E cells (@48v). The battery is available in 36v, 48v...

    Reention Dorado 17ah 48v charger led goes green always

    To charge just one group of cells you need to think of your 48v battery pack as a group of 13 small 4.2v batteries wired in series. The balance lines all come from the interconnection point of each of the 13 groups. You can simply send 4.2v down the correct pair of balance wires to charge a...

    Wiring retention ion 48 volt bike

    Reention is just a battery manufacturer, they don't make actual bikes (or controllers/displays). They made your battery basically Can you take some more pics of your bike and/or identify a few things: 1) Bike mfr (some side pics and pics of any labels on the bike) 2) There should be a...

    Reention Dorado 17ah 48v charger led goes green always

    For my battery I was really hoping it was something simple like that. Not the case though, tried to fuses and checked the wires, in my case I was sure it wasn't a loose wire or fuse though as when I plug in the charger the BMS shuts down entirely for a few minutes before coming back to life, but...

    Reention Dorado 17ah 48v charger led goes green always

    I am repairing a Dorado battery myself at the moment similar symptoms. Doesn't charge (light stays green) but does discharge properly. I have a new BMS coming for mine and via other batteries and chargers I've eliminated the obvious (fuses, bad chargers, bad connectors). I can say I have 2 wires...

    Cut-off voltage, BMS or motor ?

    To see your battery pack nose dive in minutes from ~54v to 49v suggests a problem with the cells to me. Is it by any chance a square shrink wrapped battery pack purchased from Aliexpress or eBay, etc? I am wondering if someone sold you a battery pack advertised as cheap and with good specs and...

    Lost key , does anyone know what kinda key it uses?

    Found something even better? https://www.aventon.com/products/replacement-key-for-e-bike-battery?variant=39825958011075 Pick the Pace 500 Reention edition and enter the number from your lock. They should be able to cut you one.

    Lost key , does anyone know what kinda key it uses?

    Number for the key should be on the lock. But finding blanks is tricky and then someone who knows how to decode the numbers is another thing. If the battery is off the bike and assuming it's not a Prague or folding bike, this is the part I'd recommend getting...

    Above knee amputee

    Yeah I'd bike by you 10 times before I ever noticed your leg, you just look like every other rider, even in your pic. Bike with a pant leg and nobody will even look twice.
