June 9, 20179 yr Hope you can help. I have a 48v 20" that has 1 damaged battery. I want to charge the other three, can this be done on the bike with the 48v charger or is that a bad idea? If I get the three charged will it run (even if at lower power) just to show the motor works before I sell it? Thanks
June 10, 20179 yr don't charge 3 batteries with a 48v charger , this will damage the batteries and may also over heat them and they may spit... you can charge each battery individually with a normal 12v car battery charger as long as its a slowish charger around 1A. The bike may work on 3 batteries but im not sure what the lvc is on the controller so it may not, but will do no damage to try.
June 10, 20179 yr Author Thanks for that info. For info I charged the three with a standard charger. You are right it doesn't run at all with three. Although with a multimeter i could see the damaged forth had some charge in it. I was able to hook it into bike to show the motor was ok which is what i needed to do.
