Hi Gionnirocket, you were also on the right track but I am a novice at this sort of thing but hopefully I have learned something and the battery is functioning correctly. Thanks for taking an interest and helping out with your input Dave.

Hi Harrys looks like I owe you an apology I have now tried the meter at 200 volts with the battery switched on and got a reading of 41.8 volts, I also tried it again at 600 volts and got a reading of 41 volts, and at a lower voltage of 200m, 2 volts & 20 volts the reading stayed at 1 like you...

Hi harrys I have tried it at 20 volts and got a reading of 19.60 and then at 200 volts got a reading of 19.6 the only Difference was at 200 volts there was no 0 at the end of the reading at 200 volts.

Hi Sierratim so it looks like it is charging at the correct voltage maybe it could be a fault on the BMS, either way I think that it’s probably best if I just carry on using it till it packs up on me. Like I said I am getting over 20 miles with pedal assist, I think after Christmas a good long...

Hi harrys, I tried testing battery with it switched on and only got 1 volt but when switched off it is reading 19.74 I don’t know what this means, also I tested the charger like you showed and at 600 volts got 041 and at 200 volts got 42,3 also don’t understand what this means, anyway I have...

Hi AguassissiM, I to am guilty of not paying attention I think everybody does the same come back from under the rock.

Hi AguassissiM, thanks for replying, I did it on both settings the first picture of the previous post was on 200 volts and the second picture on 20 volts and they came back with the same reading but the decimal point had moved accordingly.

Hi and thanks to everyone who has had an input or interest in my post, I have tested a 1.5 volt, a 3 volt and a 9 volt battery and got correct results so I think I am testing them correctly. I made sure the battery that was in the multimeter was a good one before the tests were done, the bike...

Hi Harry it’s probably right that I am reading the voltage wrong, I have only just got the multimeter and only learning with it. After my ride yesterday it was reading 17.75 volts, so I will try to monitor it differently. Could it be something wrong with the controller that it is only showing...

Ok thanks for your advice it was the answer I was probably expecting to hear, but I did no know what voltage it was supposed to be fully charged. I now know that a battery should be charged at least a little every two months even when not in use to keep it in good condition.

Hi my name is Dave, in September 2018 I had my bike which is a Dawes converted to an E Bike. It has a front hub wheel, 36 volt 10Ah battery which is in a bag under slung beneath the crossbar. All was well until December 2019 when for a couple of reasons I stopped riding until this September...
