Just got my 2nd battery to put on my Ebike

[Hozer]

I have Keteles K800 2000 watt duel motor Ebike!

Well I bought a New Hailong EBike Battery Lithium battery. It's a 48v 30a battery. Now I have 2 batteries on my bike. Total amps=60 amps. It weighs 20lbs. Running Samsung 21700 cells. BMS is 5v 35amps. ( that is what it sez on the BMS ) ( I opened the case to make sure the cells were Samsung 21700 ). I also bought a 24-72V DC Dual Battery Discharge Converter.

Note: there really is not alot of info on these Dual Battery Discharge Converters. I am alittle paranoid to have both batteries turned on at the same time. So I just turn on one battery at a time. I am just concerned about the BMS getting over loaded and maybe starting a fire or I am maybe being alittle over protective lol.

My bike has a rack on the back of my bike. I made a woodden plate to install the battery on. ( I gota find a aluminum plate thats 17"X7". Some places wanted $40 for the plate. So I used a 3/4" piece of wood and painted it black till I can find a aluminum plate for a good price. I used 4 super strong 1/2" wide zipties to mount the wood plate to my back bike rack.. They can handle 250lbs each ziptie.

I went for 40 miles here in the mountains in Oregon for the first time average speed 20 to 25 mph. Having two batteries on my bike and I still had 3 bars left on the 2nd battery when I got home. This is great! Just for fun I did a top speed test. My top speed was 31mph. Not bad eh?

I also have to get a Suspension Seat post!! After that 40 mile ride my ass was killing me. LOL. I will soon take a pic of my bike and posted it here.

I’m keeping my second battery in a battery bag zip tied onto the rear rack. When battery 1 gets low, stop and put in battery 2.
Obviously you have to make sure they have the same I put setup. This setup works ok except battery 2 is so tall it makes it somewhat difficult to swing your leg over the back of the bike.

Inexpensive Aluminum Plate. Discarded Traffic Signs at Junkyards can be had for very little Money. Easily cut to size with a zipcutter for a couple of Dollars at the Junkyard too. Cheers

I bought a small piece of 3/16 thick X 7"X17" of aluminium plate for 10 bux! Worked great!

I bought a battery bag and strapped it onto the back rack of my Kepler. Good protection. I decided against using a combiner.
Switching batteries out only takes a few moments and on the Kepler you basically can’t open the control box.

When I got my new controllers I opted out on putting in my combiner, I just replace the main battery when it is low with the extra rear battery.
