So the last few days have been endless "tweaking", just trying to be happy with the job I did. I had some issues with the kit which were dealt with easily by emailing the vendor. This is one of the reasons I prefer a supplier in my country.

Just finished with the battery connectors and I've decided to go with LiFePO, the ones Morph recommended, but the 20Ah set that comes with a charger. They disassemble nicely and I was going to re-form those into 2 * 6 cell packs. The RC chargers and balancers I was looking at (with seperate DC 18V input) will do 4 packs at a time, and there is going to be some minor connector hacking involved.

This leaves the BMS and then an upgrade to 6 cell 40Ah packs * 2 = hooked in series. I'm waiting on this with baited breath really. There's 3 systems I've identified for ThunderSky cells, but I'm waiting for one I know is almost ready.

Outstanding work:

1. Install waterproof on/off switch on battery cable.
2. Clean up the rack install and install the spacer washer (I have yet to order) for my 7 speed freewheel.
3. Connect the USB cable in the CA (no rush there)
4. Mod the controller for programming. (many questions on that...)

That last point is going to be a little tough, but not impossible. I hadda upgrade my soldering kit and get a bit of heat-shrink tubing, but so far it's been a constant state of engineer, build, tweak, sit and wait for the next load of stuff to arrive.
