How is it done? A lot of work is not what I am interested in, I just don't know how to do it. I thought there would be a point where I could attach a multi meter.Seems like a lot of work for an uncertain payoff.
I'm with you on this sort of thing. I have 3 packs with 5 pins on each and I don't know the percentage without being in the bike. I know where to measure the voltage when its in the bike, but I don't know the + and - contacts on the battery. Two reasons I haven't stressed over the issue is the packs are working well and I've seen several members report accidentally touching the probes on a meter and damaging their packs.How is it done?

I read several other posts indicating the importance of knowing the actual battery voltage to improve battery life by controlling the voltages more precisely – oh well; if it isn’t that easy to get the voltage I will just accept it as it is -ignorance is bliss.I'm with you on this sort of thing.

So until there's a really good reason to measure, I'll leave well enough alone. It isn't too big a deal to install the pack to see the percentage of charge. Curiosity killed the cat![]()
That is related to the cheap Chinese "e-bikes"I read several other posts indicating the importance of knowing the actual battery voltage to improve battery life by controlling the voltages more precisely – oh well; if it isn’t that easy to get the voltage I will just accept it as it is -ignorance is bliss.
? There are only three holes +, - and unlabeled there are just so many combinations and believe me they do not work.Get a voltmeter, set to dc volts, start probing.
I am thinking of upgrading my display but before I do that I want a seat post, and maybe a dual battery, I know there is an upgrade to the Kiox but I didn't know there was an upgrade to the Nyon from the Purion - will check it out.That is related to the cheap Chinese "e-bikes"Honestly, you could always replace your Purion with Nyon 21 but that costs money.
If there are two hole marked + and - do they not work to get a reading?? There are only three holes +, - and unlabeled there are just so many combinations and believe me they do not work.
There is a button on the battery to turn on the LED’s which indicate percentage of PWR which only stays on for a couple of seconds at most.If there are two hole marked + and - do they not work to get a reading?
Can you see if there is a metal contact in those holes that you can reach with your probes?
I'd want a seat post on every bike I rode. LOL Doesn't your bike have a charging port on the frame? Read the voltage there with the bike turned on. I've never done it, but makes sense to me. By the way, I've been charging my Bosch batteries to 100% since May 2016. I've not noticed a horrible degrade, and I trust the engineers at Bosch when the instructions say to charge until the charger shuts off. I now have 3 Bosch powered eBikes and they all get full charges, all the time.I am thinking of upgrading my display but before I do that I want a seat post, and maybe a dual battery, I know there is an upgrade to the Kiox but I didn't know there was an upgrade to the Nyon from the Purion - will check it out.
yep both though the nyon is hard to find right now https://www.ebay.com/itm/274783173212 they both use the same wiring its just the mount thats different.I am thinking of upgrading my display but before I do that I want a seat post, and maybe a dual battery, I know there is an upgrade to the Kiox but I didn't know there was an upgrade to the Nyon from the Purion - will check it out.
The meter was set correctly.Is your meter setup right?
1. Black probe in center/common hole.
2. Red probe in right hole.
3. Set dial to DC voltage to correct range for your battery.
Yes there is a charge port on the bike but I have never used it, even so I don't know how I would hook up the meter without splicing wires, don't really want to do that. I didn't quite get what you meant about charging 100%, were you saying it is good, or is it bad??I'd want a seat post on every bike I rode. LOL Doesn't your bike have a charging port on the frame?

After reading other posts on the Nyon I think I want one, but, the boss says slow down on spending so my priority will be the seat post first.yep both though the nyon is hard to find right now https://www.ebay.com/itm/274783173212 they both use the same wiring its just the mount thats different.
well you cant get one right now anyway so see the temptation is easier to deny. Plus you ahve to pay a shop to install it. they ahve to drop the motor usually to run the new wires.After reading other posts on the Nyon I think I want one, but, the boss says slow down on spending so my priority will be the seat post first.
