Located in the Isle of Man, the young fella did his first trial on his 16 today and the battery's just lasted although it was quite a flat quarry which helped. Looking to learn the lipo tech really as I'll be in this for the long haul I reckon! It's the BMS charge and discharge requirements I'm unsure off. Nice pack though

Morning guys, You guys are really clued up! Well done for the info! I'm kinda new to the electrical scene (being a mechanical engineer). My sons been riding his 12.5 on lead acids for a year and a half now. He is now 4&1/2 and I've built a custom 16 for him that he has just started riding, I have tried to reduce as much weight as possible etc. its a pre 2013 36V. Its currently on lead acids but I'm ready to take the final plunge to Lipo's as my boy is super keen and limited run time is becoming a huge factor and I also want to reduce the weight. The bike wont last a the trials he is competing in at the minute (4laps of 8 sections). I don't mind tinkering but am looking for the simplest set up as it looks like my daughter will follow in her brothers footsteps. I've read and re read this post and my head is swelling a bit with all the information... Has anyone posted an exact set up that I could copy that would suit my needs (apologies for the ignorance). I'm happy with doing the wiring but am struggling to get my head around the BMS and charging/discharging requirements. Any help would be much appreciated Cheers
