Did you ever wish your BBSHD went substantially faster, pulled harder and you didn’t have to be told you can’t buy the controller you want – shush it’s a secret?
This controller has everything: field weakening (allowing higher rpm), totally plug n play and now with tuneable PAS via our new Electron Display.
This is very latest controller with enhanced feature (see photos). This is truly plug n play and expect GENUINE speeds of around 40+ MPH
Advanced processing and state of the art allows it to compute much faster and much more accurately than the standard Bafang unit (or any modded Bafang controller). Imagine your first media phone in comparison to the latest Iphone/Android device? – Things have moved on and these Canadian devices have not been designed with penny pinching mass market sales like the original. All of this makes your motor pull much harder and release around 15% more speed than a 52v 30A Bafang controller and whopping 100% more power than the standard and go 72v 200% !!!!!!!!! We might add the power is designed to come in without the mechanical snapping lurch of an inferior set up.
These controller have been set up so that it can handle anything from 50A (70 A burst) up to 2800wW depending on voltage (easily within their design). This might mean a little explaining:
We have tested the BBSHD to destruction and on more than one occasion right up to 4500 Watts and learned a few things, real facts and not the odd exception.
Amps create heat, heat weakens the nylon gear and too many watts snap the pinion. So how do we get around this? Simple, know the limits but don’t get too close. Sure these are now nearer the limit, but ridden correctly (let the motor spin and don’t labour in the wrong gear), a reliable ride can still be had. At the lower volts where big amps are needed, we have capped the limit to 3200w @72v (A ludicrous controller at 50A has 2500Watts), but as you increse your volts and then add an additional 10 -15% improvement through field weakening!
Now with working brake and gear sensors (not included).
This purchase the controller will be set to 72v by default
We redesigned to make this a little more cost effective by removing the expensive exo shell which saves space and we then made the internal structure stronger. We now place the battery in a custom triangle bag. This is our own bespoke battery and not a mass produced off the shelf cheapie. Everything covered with an in house UK warranty and designed to last. The results are staggering and speak for themselves. We sacrificed a little unrealistic continuous amps and changed the cells for the more expensive Samsung 50s to gain and even bigger cycle range. This battery is the perfect triangle battery solution for the ASI equipped Bafang BBSHD and all the CYC motors or motors up to 3.5kw:
70 Amps continuous discharge but peaks of 150A!
25Ah @ 72V giving 1800 Watt Hours – absolutely EXTREME RANGE for a triangle in frame battery!!! (this is nearly 4.5 times bigger than the std Bosch Powerline battery.
Ant Bluetooth BMS giving series monitor and on/off via your smart phone (no leaky switches)
0.2 mm pure nickle sheet welded.
100 x Samsung 50s cells. 20S5P.
Anderson XT90 Discharge
Anderson XT60 Charge
Incudes 5A charger
Free convertor from XT90 connection to Anderson (must be less than 50A draw) – please request in the notes at checkout
Weight 10KG
Battery in bag proximate dimensions: 380mm x 430mm x 300mm
13 velcro straps (cut off excess)
We strongly recommend that when installing the case, a soft pad be placed between the down tube and case (6mm number plate stickers are good). That the bulk of the case be supported on the down tube (not supported solely from the strap holders). In extreme cold conditions we do not advise using the battery.
We use only genuine new grade A cells and made up into complete batteries specially to order for us at our dedicated factory or here in the UK by our in house battery builders. We simply can’t buy a single battery, We have to agree to a production run of at least 20 batteries. The 0.2mm pure nickle sheet is electronically welded to the cells to give and safely handle this unprecedented “in triangle” huge power output with minimum internal resistances.
Battery: Charging – Use
The battery is equipped with a very sophisticated ANT BMS.
The BMS can be turned off and on through an application for your mobile phone via Bluetooth (tip: sometimes it connects better first time if the battery is put on charge):
Connect to BMS and on the bottom of the home screen look for “control”.
On the control screen you will see the following (see fig/photo 11):
DO NOT USE “SHUT DOWN” (highlighted in red) as the battery will be totally disabled and can be restarted by plugging in you charger – using shut down can invalidate your warranty.
To turn the power off coming out of the battery (for connection and disconnection) use the DisMOS on/off by pressing the icon (highlighted in green). It may take a couple of seconds to respond. We do not recommend doing this away from a charger as sometimes it may not turn back on unless plugged into the charger. Turning off will stop the connection spark.
Please note, Lithium batteries are considered hazardous and due care and attention should be taken. Although these cells are in wide use, and professionally manufactured in a purpose built factory; because of the power of the battery, we strongly recommend that precautions are taken. We do not recommend charging inside the family home and charging should be supervised. We take no responsibility for misuse. These batteries are thoroughly tested (full discharge and charge cycles at the manufacturing stage and also pre-delivery). These are not DIY or amateur built devices.
* Warranty, due to the nature of use of these devices (off road) warranty is limited to 6 months from date of purchase. Any damage the result of water ingress, alteration, may void warranty. This includes shortening of cables and changing connectors. It is the owners responsibility to proof against water ingress and not use in unacceptable very wet conditions, or use direct water from hose/washers. Any alteration modification to this controller or its subsequent wiring, even cutting the power leads to make shorter will immediately invalidate any warranty. Even battery disconnected, the controller can still maintains current and can be shorted/damaged. The controllers are waterproof, but can still suffer from water damage through the connector and hence are not covered for water damage. Controllers are not covered by warranty after 14 days. Using high PAS in a high gear under heavy load may cause the controller to overheat (power level 9 in a small rear cog). Gears should be used going uphill or any other heavy load. Attempting to reprogram the controller may cause damage. Warranties are not transferable. We reserve the right to slightly modify or change this product without notice.
Charging: First time charging is VERY important. Always connect the charger to the battery with the charger powered up from the mains. This will stop a “Connection Spark”. The battery needs a “Balance Charge” on first charge. Please charge as above. The charger will display two red lights (charging) after a long period of time (between 1 and 8 hrs – depending on state) the LED charger lights will display red and green. This indicates an initial charge is complete. However, as this is a new battery, not all cells within the battery are balanced (same state of charge as some were higher/lower than others to start with). This is because cells can arrive at the factory in different batches and may have slightly different charges due to time in storage). This is very common and normal. Now please leave the charger connected to the batteries for a further 12 hrs. This allows the internal balancing system (BMS) to balance out all the internal cells. The charge may turn on and off over this period of time. This “Balance charge does not need to be done every time and is recommended every 20+ charges. Leaving the charger plugged in working does not damage the batteries. The charger is designed to stop charging at a preset level and turn on again when this level drops.
