Tech Help / Re: Best crimping tool for Anderson SBS-75X
« on: January 19, 2017, 04:29:23 AM »
I have the hydraulic one in the first picture and I really like it. I have a simple stand for it made of a pipe and a block of wood, which is really handy. I can't say I've tried any of the other crimping tools for Anderson connectors.

General Discussion / Hello, I'm new to the forum!

Hi everyone,

At Thunderstruck Motors, we have quite a bit of experience with two-wheeled EVs. The owner here has been having fun with EVs for over 20 years and is incredibly knowledgeable. We have been involved with NEDRA, and we have worked with lots of different motorcycles and bikes. A few weeks ago, we dropped part of a Leaf pack into a Vectrix, and it has been a blast to ride.

I specialize in charging systems and battery management systems. I enjoy reading and learning from posts in this forum, and hopefully I'll have some useful information to add. (Recently, a few Zero customers bought our dual charging system for quicker charging, and they seem to be happy with it thus far.) If anyone has technical questions, we'll be here and try our best to help!

I just called my local Zero dealer, and they can order the BMS for the 2013 FX from Zero. The only problem is that they are about $500!

What are you planning to use the battery pack for? Even if you can't get to the batteries, if you can get to the BMS wires, you could measure each cell to check how balanced the pack is. Measuring each cell would allow you to wire the cells to a BMS board such as Orion Jr.

The challenge would be figuring out how to get the BMS to function with the system overall, such as turning the charger off when a cell is too high, and reporting state of charge. Is there any way you can figure out how the Zero BMS functioned before?

At Thunderstruck, we sell the J1772 adapter for $90. You would need to cut a heavy-duty power cord and wire it to the socket, and get the correct resistor and diode for the pilot signal, all of which we can supply. PM me for help making this happen at an affordable price.
