First, it is an electric mower not an electric start. No gasoline involved. The Mfg told me the motor will draw 'no more than 5 amps' The C rate of headway cells in 25. Room is limited on the mower so a 2p8s battery would be too big by a factor of 2. I would imagine there would be an amp...

How can I test if my BMS is dead? I got a Daly BMS separate port for the 24v 8s1p battery pack I am building. I wired up the leads per instructions, tested everything per instructions and everything looked good. I made sure nothing was exposed and nothing would short out. The case these are...

Update on my 24v mower. I finished the pack of using 8 38120 headway cells in series. Pack started with 26.4V. Last weekend was not bad for Feb so I got the mower out of of the back of the garage and ran it for 45 minutes. That is about 50% longer than it takes to mow the entire lawn...

I was thinking the same thing about the charger. I could get a dc/dc constant volt amp board and run it through that or just take it to my bench top power supply. I can crank it up to 28v or more. The new LiFe power pack does weigh all that much to taking it to the bench is no big deal. The...

I win a prize? Well, at least something went right after the smoke clears. What do I get beside holding your beer?
