i’m too chicken shit to go 8 amps. I’m loving this battery 12s6p. this is the first high voltage battery that I’ve owned. its nice to be able to leave the bike lane and not get passed by cyclists.
Lunch break ride…very aggressive riding with 40% left at the end. I’m gonna get emotional now…you guys have to understand I’ve been riding a CGT the past 1.5 years. So this is brand new to me. The power, the reliable remote connections, the stability, the looks I get when I fly pass buses, cabs and cyclists with there matching spandex outfits and helmets. (No disrespect). Whoooooo shyyyt I’m stoked AF. group ride Chicago this weekend NYC is next. Big ups to @hyperion1 for repairing my battery your bad ass bruh…thx. also thx to all who helped me throughout this journey I’ve learned a lot. Next season/build… NYAKIM 2. I’m thinking a complete rebuild of my CGT. Trucks, wheels and definitely electronics.

Lol. I also have a 12s6p 30q but I want bigger. 50km per charge when I’m pushing hard asf feels small to me.

Ikr… already I’m thinking bigger 
With a 6p battery 8amps is nothing for it. If it’s the 30q you can safely go up to 24amps which I wouldn’t recommend. I have a 12s5p and have a shitty 3amp charger… I want a 10amp charger for when I want to charge fast.

@Myke You want 10a on 5p? What’s so damn important to need to go that quick?
Takes about 2hrs to charge my battery
Yes I do. When I go on long rides and stop for food I can get a real quick charge. I would use my slow charger 90% of the time.

OMG…really. I hope my battery is not dead AGAIN!!. started charging walked away…return and the light on the charger was going from red to green. I unplugged it immediately powered on to check the battery status 86%. I powered the board off and unplugged the charger then plugged everything back in…it appears to be charging now. did i have the plug in halfway it looked like it was not plugged in all the way. I don’t know…would the charger stop if there’s a problem?

got damit yeah it only charged to 49.7v is that a dead p group again…should i check from the bms or is this a balance thing…
That’s almost full, not a big enough difference for me to think of a dead p-group. I’m not a hotshot with batteries though.

yeah that’s like .7v off. what causes that is that a problem brewing.
Just taken the time to read through your thread. Quite a trip! You have such a great outlook.
What is the depth of the battery you have there?

Now you’re a master of checking the p groups it’s worth checking this out. Just to see if it’s evenly spread or something sinister.

Might even be nothing. That charger goes green but is still giving a very small amount of amps (around .5a). Chargers (in your case a 4a) dont charge at full blast the entire time, they start around that and then gradually go less and less until the pack is full. My bms is plugged with bluetooth so I observe regularly everything I just said 
In example: my charger starts at 9.6a and in the end only .57a
