Will my tongue fit between the terminals?

Will my tongue fit between the terminals?

I took my first course in electricity in gr 10 (1980)

We learned about Bell telephones

There was a guy in class that had a contraband telephone (stolen) in his basement and he told our teacher about it.

Our teacher said "you're going to get caught"
He said "we disconnected the bell".


In those days, EVERY Telephone was Owned By BELL.
We were not allowed to own a phone.
The BELL dudes cruised the neighborhoods ringing everybody's phone to measure the current draw.

If they rang your number and they saw a current draw for two phones, when you only paid for one phone, you're in BIG Trouble.
Serious trouble too.

So we at school learned how to disconnect the bell, so only one phone rings when our stolen phone doesn't ring.

A few years later, I was buying weed off a freind who stole a phone with 100 feet of wire from an abandoned house, climbed a tree beside a telephone pole and wired himself in.
He talked to his grandma in England for free.
The Bell dudes were cruising the neighborhood like narks.



So, with this knowledge from class and my multimeter I went home to investigate.

My voltmeter was reading just a few volts to run the dial tone signal. I could barely get a reading.

I decided to touch the two Bell Telephone wires to my tongue to verify my erroneous readings, and I could feel the tingling.
Just like a 9V battery on my tongue, but a bit more.


Then the FUkin Phone rang.
I had no idea that it took 60 VDC to ring the damn bell, and I damn near blowed up my tongue.

Will my tongue fit between the terminals?

If I had to choose between licking an an electric guitar or licking a bell telephone, I'd choose the telephone.
Unless you are expecting a call.


PS,..
I remember that Gene Simmons had his seven inch tongue insured for a million dollars right around that time.

I must have not explained correctly. I was quoted $500 to replace the old LiIon batterys 18650?? with new ones, so I told them to hold off until I decided what to do.

I have now decided to do the following:
1. I will buy a demo Aventon Pace 4, Rear Hub bike I saw for $990
2. I will replace the battery with either the recore, or I will look for a 24V battery EMGX recommended (Thank you!!) What battery might you recommend??

Bye the way Abby is also boys name as well (For those old enough to remember Abby Hoffman) Everyone makes that mistake, no problem
I can either give the Aventon to my wife, and use the Kalkoff, the motor probably has 15 minutes use on it, or give it to one of the granskids, as they dont need a throttle drive.

Thank you all to the suggestions - I will let you knw what I do with the battery if I find a 24V battery pack

Without seeing the battery it's hard to say.. A repack with quality cells might be the easiest as you won't have to worry about physical fit and wiring connections. You might be able to save a few dollars by buying an off the shelf battery, but that'll take a little research and an understanding of how to mount and connect things.

Ha ha ha. As an old time phone company employee and stock holder, I remember those tales of telephony crime and karma.

You should read the entire thread on the UK pedelec forum that I linked. Later posts in the thread indicated that someone tried to substitute a non-proprietary 24v battery which didn't work. The OP initially indicated that the #3 connector was only for display voltage reading but later in a later post that it was necessary for the battery to function properly with the motor. My Yamaha and other systems have a proprietary data link like this which the motor controller requires for communication with the battery to function.
