the new bat is NMC...very upset I bought my plus a month ago now

@jwheelin this happens to me and is the worst and very dangerous with traffic and lights. I also have issues starting nearly every time. it's not related to nothing other than how fast you push it past level. of you just barely push past it works every time but if you push any harder it will fail and the nose will fall.

@dr-trill forgot the splar charger doesn't step down. but I knew I figured this out and I forgot that you need two 36V batteries to make this work and you wite them in series for charging and you can set the solar charger to around 84V and 1A

didn't read all the posts but what I am going to do is use the solar charger to charge my 36v batteries with the one wheel charger plugged into the solar panel side. so 58.4V and 3.5A in but th3 output can be set to whatever you want. I'm going to use 42V and 2A.

@gadgetrider safety and regulatory people can go fly a kite.

I can probably get one of my friends to hack this thing and do just that but ill wait until my warranty is out to do any mods

@parrothd

where did you get 130Wh?

Re: Backup Battery

I'm struggling to understand what the capacity of our battery is. I get 353Wh based on the 4 x 12.8V modules at 6.9Ah for each module. But people are claiming one full charge from a hover board battery and the carvepower 36V x 4.4Ah is only 158Wh!

the other confusing bit is that OW charges in supposedly 20 minutes from dead. this means 58V x 3.5A for 1/3 hours is just 68Wh!

seems to me the rated capacity on the pack is much larger than what it accepts during charging.

anyone have any sanity checks here?

yes this is a great idea! I was just going to make a thread about custom digital shaping but let's just keep this one going.

but i agree, sliders for power and angle would be awesome but also push back speeds and intensity, perhaps it might be useful to have a graded profiles so it gets more intense as you push harder and go faster?

The auto mode switch would also be awesome! you could have event based switching or scheduling for instance you could have the angle adjust automatically when ascending inclines and vise versa. and when you hit a certain speed it can switch between different modes. might also be nice to detect when you are off road (measure the bumpiness?) you could also have night mode which turns on your lights on only when it's dark to save a tiny bit of battery.

I'm a 7 mile newbee but I love this thing!
