After going back to basic electricity and testing I found a loose Anderson connector on the negative. Plugged it back in and it fired up. Now waiting for the rain to stop for a test ride. Lawrence Rhodes Posted by: [email protected] standeej Date: Mon Jan 14, 2019 3:08 pm ((PST))
Lawrence - the wiring diagram for the Ego Cycle is on their web page - http://www.egovehicles.com/how-to/Wire_harness_WHU-04-1.pdfHope it helps!

They were both 13.38vdc. I did a 10 second load test. My resistor smoked and the voltage held. After testing the voltage on both batteries they were 13.35vdc. I couldn't be happier. However when installing in the eGo scooter They act like dead batteries. The self test ends with the display blacking out and the contactor doesn't engage I get 26.7vdc for pack voltage. I did gas the old lead batteries and had to clean out a lot of white powder from the battery bay. The bike works when using the charger and the batteries charged up to 13.43vdc The bike functions, the motor lurches forward the battery charges and the horn beeps. Turn off the charger and the bike is dead. I did reconnect the green wire to the center of the pack. What could cause this symptom? What does the green wire do?

I will report after installing them.? He says they hold over 13volts for three weeks or he won't send them out.? 99 dollars. They had 3 year service. Seems fair to me they were used for medical carts.? Seems over kill as they can do 80 amp bursts.? Lawrence Rhodes?https://lithiumwerks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Module-Range-090418.pdf 2c.
