But with 4 hours ride time between charges, I just charge it at home each night.Paul Gardner-Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150903760695355706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668217068065152837.post-87670378075133980052021-09-10T02:25:00.102-07:002021-09-10T02:25:00.102-07:00Hi!

I was initially trying to just go with the BMS that came with the new pack but this didn't seem to work with the three "extra connectors" of the battery unconnected. No display switched on, no power... I had thus to connect the old BMS to the new pack which turned out to be a major soldering and "no space in the box"-PITA. Did you ever find out what the purpose of those connectors is? It seems you got things to work with the same controller without them, anything special you did? Thank you in advance.Kasparhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04502189896315058476noreply@blogger.com
