2. police officers do not have technical skills except for individual officers who may work on electronics on the side so if you are lucky ok unlucky enough to have that officer pull you over then he may know but most officers probably wont notice. more
I have an older Phat Phantom I want to do this to. I don’t see a speed controller, might it be built in to the motor?
6000 watts is a lot to put through that transistor more
The pack I chose was a Zippy Compact 7s 20c 5Ah battery from Hobby King. I put XT60 power connectors on the pack and speed controller (Good to 60 Amps). I also used an expanded scale voltmeter as a gas gauge to measure the top 7 volts of the battery pack so I would know when I was half way and had to head home. There is plenty of room for two of these batteries in parallel in the tub. I use an Accucell 8 Lipo ballance charger and hacked it to transmit battery info to LogView running on my lapTop. You don’t have to do that part, but it’s sooo Cool. here
Be certain that all of the necessary safety precautions are taken when you are in the process of jump-starting the battery. You should always protect your hands from possible injury by wearing thick and durable work gloves. Always wear safety goggles to keep your eyes protected. Make sure the scooter is always kept far away from all sources of heat, especially open flames. A cigarette would also fall into this category. While the charging process is underway, battery acid can begin to leak. Use a towel to cover the battery once you have finished connecting the terminals. This will stop the acid from coming into contact with your skin.
Jump-starting a Scooter with a Vehicle [links]
You will find the battery under the footrest or under the seat. Read your owner’s manual to find out exactly where your battery is located. For batteries that are located close to the fuel tank, it will be necessary for you to take off the seat in order to get access to the battery. If your battery can be found under your footrest, the battery cover can be accessed by lifting the rubber mat. Open the disconnect clamps or take out the screws that hold the battery cover in place to get into the compartment where the battery is located. here
Safety Precautions
Find the positive and negative terminals on both batteries. You may need to clean a little corrosion off the terminals to see the markings.
Connect one of the negative clips of the jumper cable to the negative post of the car battery. [links]
Connect one of the positive clips of the jumper cable to the positive post of the motorcycle battery. here
Turn off the engine for both the motorcycle and the car.
- If you've just purchased new batteries, charge them for about 10 hours every night for 5 nights in a row, this will break them in. here
Q: How do I charge my batteries correctly? more
A: No. Car Batteries are designed to provide a very large amount of current for a short period of time. They would actually work but they would quickly die, usually in a month or so. Power Wheelchair and Scooter batteries are designed to provide a steady amount of current over a long period of time. This why they are called Deep Cycle batteries. [links]
- With every charger made for Power Wheelchairs and Scooters you can leave the charger plugged in all the time. This will help to have them last longer but it will not completely stop them from Sulfating and Stratifying. Sulfation and Stratification are the main reasons batteries go dead. [links]
- When storing a chair or scooter for more than 1 month, charge the batteries and then disconnect them.
For now, OEM lithium battery fitment is largely reserved for high-end performance models, such as the Ducati Panigale V4 R.
The trick to starting your bike with a lithium battery is to warm the battery up first. The easiest way is to put a load on it for a couple of minutes. By turning on a power draw, like a headlight or an electric vest, the battery warms itself as it delivers the electricity, and the amount of electricity available increases as the battery warms up. While some lithium battery manufacturers say to go ahead and repeatedly crank the engine anyway – since the large load will warm the battery the quickest way possible – we’d recommend against that, unless you like replacing the gears in your starter motor. here
All reputable, name-brand batteries, such as Shorai and Full Spectrum, have BMS, making such worries unnecessary. The circuit board within the battery itself prevents both the overcharge scenario that could lead to a fire and the undercharge flatlining of the cells. You’ll never see the BMS, and you’ll never have to worry about your battery either. more
We’ve also frequently heard that lithium batteries don’t last as long as lead-acid batteries. This myth will need to be addressed in several ways. First, in the case of a complete discharge, it is possible to drain a lithium battery down to a level that it cannot recover from. However, BMS circuitry now prevents that from happening by shutting down the battery before the power drain can reach a level that will damage it. Unfortunately, not all lithium powersports batteries have BMS. If you’re shopping at the very bottom of the price range for lithium batteries, you’re likely not going to get this level of protection. The lack of a BMS is not the only way that low budget lithium battery manufacturers cut their costs either.
While the lightness of lithium batteries has been overly stressed, that still resides in the plus column when you need to replace your OEM battery. Instead, consider that lithium batteries themselves are inherently better. Those with a BMS are just about impossible to kill, the BMS circuitry is there to prevent it. So, park your bike for a month or more (shame on you, BTW), and it’ll fire right up when you push the starter.
Another benefit of lithium batteries is that, unlike lead-acid ones, they deliver full power output until they completely discharge. By full power, we mean over 13 volts. So, lithium will deliver current over 13 volts until the bitter end. We’re all familiar with the tired sounding, progressively slower starter crank of a low lead-acid battery that is near the end of its charge. At this point, you’re running at 9 or 10 volts, and with modern motorcycles, the ECU, injectors, fuel pump, and spark plugs need at least 12 volts, meaning they’re not operating at full capacity, either. Most frequently, we encounter this issue after a lead-acid battery has spent an extended time without being charged. Lithium batteries handle long-term storage much better, self-discharging only about 1% over the course of about 45 days – regardless of the temperature. (Remember, a lead-acid battery can lose as much as 1% per day in hot weather.) [links]
