Hey all,
I bought a 30AH, 48V littlokala battery for my Lectric XP 2.0 bike for around $200. I am planning on wiring it in parallel with the stock battery and manually switching by turning off the key (disconnecting the factory 10AH battery) and plug in the Littokala. Not entirely foolproof but I think it'll work well enough.
For safety I am going to fuse the conductor leading out of the frame so I don't accidentally short the factory battery, but how about the Littokala? Should I fuse the other end of the power wire as near as I can to the 30AH battery? maybe build a padded battery box and put the connector and fuse inside? a second fuse sure wouldn't hurt anything, and possibly prevent a fire if the bike gets mangled somehow. there isn't a lot of documentation for the battery so not sure if it's short circuit protected or anything like that. I kind of doubt it.
