Roll Model Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I have some unrelated experience that might shed light... I worked with a Rockwell industrial table saw years ago. It did not have enough power to consistently and productively make the rips we needed in some very, very tough treated wood and consequently we'd trip the breaker many times in a day. The saw was a 120/240 volt model and so, because we had 240 at the Hospital where the work was going on, we had the saw switched over to 240v (ac). As we all know W=V*A and I think that saw was around 12 amps. The short conclusion is that the saw performed MUCH worse at the same task (we had miles to cut...) than it did running with 120v. So much so that we ended up using a Milwaukee 'Skill Saw' with some modifications to the shoe. With the 'skill saw' we could cut as fast as we could push the saw with NO SLOWDOWNS what so ever. With the table saw we had to advance and slow down (even stop at times to keep the breaker from tripping) constantly. I'm not sure how relevant to this tale this is, but it seemed like doubling the volts halved the available Amps because the ability to 'do work' was clearly reduced - But this was AC...

You can put slime into the tire before the run, and you can also carry a small tool/patch kit. If you get a CUT tire, you might be in trouble and need to call for a ride.

zlymex Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 1 hour ago, Roll Model said: If I can ask a question a little off topic...How do you pre-pair for flat tires when you make such rides? We carry a small inflator with us and sometimes an emergency slime to be used after a flat tire. We plan to buy small tool/patch kits as SuperSport pointed out. We've never come across flat tire on the run, only two instances afterwards(the leaks were very small), but good to be prepared. There are many villages though not very far apart and we often find tire fixed point there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSport Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I recommend installing slime before riding. It can sometimes prevent your tire from going fully flat. I also carry this tool kit and pump. It's quite small, fits well into a back pack. There might be better options, but I got this one at a good price at the time. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R0KHB3W/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I slime many different tires, so I buy it by the Gallon. On these off road tires in the photo below, I had a 1/4 inch stick punch through the tire. It held enough air to get me back to camp. When I pulled the stick, it sealed up and I was able to pump it back up. Never had another leak on that tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get a leak, it blows out of that leak and seals it. If you are lucky, before your tire deflates. If unlucky, you can normally inflate the tire and continue with your ride without having to patch it right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlymex Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I got a news yesterday that that 84V/1600Wh version begin to sell in Chinese market(that originally targeted to oversea market only). The charger comes with the EUC is still 1.5A. The friend of mine who bought the 84V slim version has just bought a 84V 10A charger, of which I've strongly opposed. He said the wires and the connector can be modified to suit 10A, and the 2.5A-per-cell charge current is Ok for occasional use although the temperature rise for batteries is high. Also, it is switchable between 5A/10A. However, he found out when the charger arrived it is too large and too heavy to carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you're right, these high-capacity cells shouldn't be charged above 2A, it's definitely going put them under some stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still dont get Gotways logic is not only not increasing the charging speed but actually lowering the current. the only possible logic I see is ok, we have 84v now, so to keep the connectors and wires exposed to the same , proven safe, power (IxV) and same temperature rise, lets lower the current............ well, if you are worried that the connectors/ wires wont hold up, just replace them with more robust ones, how difficult can this be?
