actual millage May27, 2019
Hi all
I want to update you on my EPLUS performance .
Odometer on my EPLUS shows 30 749 kilometers.
I reached this millage on 2 different Lithium batteries.
As you can see on CycleAnalist only 85 charging cycles for my new Chevy Volt cell battery pack.
Now I use battery pack made of Chevy Volt cells in 11S2P configuration /2 parallel ,11in series/.
motor and all drive is still my original EPLUS drive.
I want to stress - kind of battery does not matter for longevity of this EPLUS drive.
as we know EPLUS has built in several protections - overtemp. /no need to touch motor after hill climbing / EPLUS motor will NOT overheat/ , over voltage protect., overcurrent protect. etc.
Eplus drive absolutely stands out from others ebike drives in many aspects like incredible 9 power levels and 9 regen levels
removed rear wheel , checked for any free play on bearings - nothing at all.
Japan bearings -quality.
it does not mean my EPLUS had been without problems.
one of them are display switches.
some other problems were caused by my stupidity - like disconnecting and connecting power wires or communication cables to the motor while system powered - very bad idea, inverter inside motor has quite large capacitors which cause voltage spikes when wires connect. So depower before connecting/disconnecting wires.
Water ingress is another issue for display/contr. switches. Tactile switches of disp. are not so great quality and power switch tactile switch should be the highest quality /gold plated contacts/, but it is not.
