yep, dash shows amps into the battery (140V @ 10A = 250v @ 6A inc some losses) The display defaults to 30Ah of capacity as that's what the original nimh batteries were. Fortunately that's a good number to use for new CALB 40 Ah cells (remembering you're discharging them much faster than their standa...

Assuming the original charger is working, load the dugas firmware: http://dugasengineering-com.3dcartstores.com/VX1-HEX-Files_ep_56-1.html you will need a peak systems can bus cable (it's the only one that has the right drivers and onboard hardware) The range estimation is based on Ah count from ful...

Have you looked at the evoke bikes? Hub motors, but full size wheel and seem to have sufficient performance for you (130kph). https://www.evokemotorcycles.com.au/urban-series Fairly pricy I think, can only see one second hand one on bikesales and that says "huge savings on new" at $12,500. Still ab...

oh parts are easy to import

you pays your money, they hand over the goods to DHL or fedex or sometimes china post and it arrives at your door in 3 days or 4 days or 8 weeks.

that doesn't work for batteries though

where are you located out of curiosity?

Importing a new motorbike costs around $10k - $15k in harmonisation paperwork. It's only worth it if you plan on starting a business selling them There have been a few electric motorbikes sold in Australia - Vectrix, Zero, I think Brammo sold a couple There was at least one sport bike based on a hyo...

kona can tow too I'm pretty sure

nope, no watch batteries anywhere

I forget whether the clock is implemented in the dash itself (ICMR), or in the ICM.

swapping them out would be the way to go, though to swap the dash itself is a fair bit of work

ah yes, so the same BMS as I have In your case I would still use the master module to disconnect the charger, so that it does cycle on and off. Be aware though, that BMS is built for a top balanced battery. You will quickly end up somewhere in between top and bottom balanced fairly quickly, even if ...

I presently run a 45 cell - tc charger on a 42 cell LiFePO4 battery, and have done so for 6 months what bms are you using? I'm using the old EV Power BMS, direct connected to the charger. cycles the charger on and off when the first cell hits full (top balanced pack) If the BMS can disconnect the ch...

Is the runke definitely working? If so, then yes please. Happy to wait till you're back

Day 10 of ownership an incident occurred that the cameras picked up, sound, numberplates and our cabin commentary (I must restrain my language). On the freeway south bound, near Joondalup, A 4WD was trying to overtake on the railway side emergency lane, even putting their wheels into the dirt, whil...

I find myself chasing a Vectrix charger, if you still have one for sale?

Ah, no field weakening then. Hmmm tedious.

Quick shift gearbox though. How long does it take to change gear?

you still have the clutch yeah? Why not start in 1st? Let the motor spin so back emf is closer to the battery voltage

I wonder if it's one of the ones that had a zigbee installed as part of the solar homes trial

Then you need the inverter that can handle the electric vehicle battery voltage. That raises an interesting thought. The inverter I'm looking at to use on a proposed off grid system has a solar feed in voltage max of 450vdc and between 120vdc and 430vdc the MPPT controller part can handle. If the e...

holy moly
what sort of meter do you have?
would you mind posting a picture (feel free to block out your NMI)

Would we even have to tell them? In WA, Western power want to know the serial number of the inverter so if you change it technically you're meant tell them(and they may refuse the unit). But it's not like they are going to come round and check the number as long as you don't start exporting at midn...

well, I won't be able to find out if rotating the tyres and upping the pressure makes them last longer or not. I had to replace them today as a result of destroying 2 of them with a big box kerb. Given tyre 3 was bald on the outside, I made the call to replace all 4 ($600) and keep the best one of t...

Was that 100 MW battery in relation to the hornsdale 100MW/129MWh unit?

reecho wrote: No...Original grid tie can stay as is.

Especially if you install it without telling Western Power

best of luck with the bureaucracy

Matthew it will sit nicely on the driveway haha

It'll be right at home with my 4 x nhw10 prius and 4 Vectrix scooters

would you be interested in a trade of any variety? I have a really nice Vectrix up for sale

Sounds good to me

I've been tempted
I need to clear a spot to work on it and sell some stuff.

Was it?

I'd prefer it went somewhere local. Just seems wrong to ship empty steel across the country. But am open to ideas

I'm hoping someone can crack the bms, so we can use future batteries as is for home storage
