daveola Posted August 13 Posted August 13 Just added an Mten5 to my arsenal, it's a pretty sweet ride. Does anyone know if the Mten3 charger and Mten5 charger are compatible? I ask because I have a 165W charger for my Mten3, and the Mten5 comes with a 125W charger, and presumably if the batteries are low enough it will charge faster on the 165W charger? It'd also be nice not to have to track which charger was which. They're both 84V and 4 pin, but I haven't found the Mten3 pinout yet, so I might have to bust out my voltmeter. Quote
alcatraz Posted August 15 Posted August 15 I have 4 Gotway wheels and they're all 84v 4pin. They only really change the connector when there's a voltage change. When you see the same connector on other brands of wheels, THAT'S when you need to be careful. 125w and 165w isn't a world of difference. 30% faster charging on the larger charger. You're right that fast charging is only up to a certain charge level but seeing as these are both classified as "slow chargers" you'll notice they stay at max output even up to 90-95%. When you super fast charge, that's when you see charge currents start to taper off at 75-80%. Quote
alcatraz Posted August 15 Posted August 15 Fyi, some Gotway/Begode wheels of different voltages might seem to have the same number pins but they're a different size connector. GX12 GX16 GX20 etc. Quote
