Nicely done ! Awesome combiner & Showcase 🍻

I just sent you guys an email, I own a Zooz. Uu1100 and want to add on 48v 20ah battery for extra range, would your product be a perfect addition to my bike

Whiile this works with overzsized solar panels and excellent conditions, a MPPT boost charge controller is FAR better for this job. The go-to unit in that range is the CTK300-II mppt boost controller. So why is that? In this video, the primitive stepup seems to work fine, doesn' it? Well, as long as the panel delivers more power than needed, this is totally ok. The unit is set to delivering 2A to the output at 51-57V or whatever the battery range is. So it looks at the current, limits it and takes care no more than the configured max voltage is at the output. It just doesn't monitor or care for the input. As long as the power at the output is delivered by the solar panel, everything is fine. But once the solar power drops due to clouds, there is only say 40W available when the output at 55V and 2 A needs 110W. The simple converter doesn't know what to do as he cannot take energy out of nothing to get the 70W missing to do what he was configured to, delivering 110W. So the regulation loops just simply break down, as this unit is totally incompetent regarding solar input regulation. It just fails if less then 110W is available. That also means you have to have a significantly larger panel than needed to make it work and have margins. In conditions below 110W, this unit will not charge ANYTHING, even though e.g. 40W are available. An MPPT charge controller has 3 regulation loops, not 2 as this unit: - Current limiting -Output Voltage limiting -Solar voltage regulation. A solar panel has it's highest output at a panel and temperatrue specific voltage. You want to keep it there to get the most out of your panel. That is why mppt have a 3rd loop that regulates a 36 cell panel's output voltage is at about 18V. If the panel delivers more than the other 2 loops /Amp/Volt" are delivering, the solar panel volt loop is doing nothing. So like the unit in this video. But if less voltage is available,, the MPPT starts only regulating input voltage and that way it is working at every power level the solar panel delivers and outputs just the same power that is coming in. That is whyy an mppt charge controller is by far better. You can charge the battery with any panel, even smaller one's and get the most out of cloudy conditions.

Where the lcd from

I agree if fluid is dirty! I was only talking about a brake bleed (purge air), this was not addressing a Blake fluid flush.

Hey Rick, I wouldn’t draw that dirty oil into the syringe and then push that dirty oil back in. Best to push the old oil out with the syringe into the cup then tighten caliper nut. I just did it today on my mtn bike and pushed plenty of ugly dirty oil into the cup.

Can the combiner be mounted out of frame Say under rear rack to get some airflow and is it waterproof or water resistant

Here’s a link to the brake light flasher. a.co/d/6pWlifL

Did you just use a splitter from the battery? Do you have any links? Thanks!

Can you charge both batteries with their own chargers with this? or is it recommended to charge them with 1 disconnected then reconnect to use?

Where can I get the cables and combiner as shown on videos?

Super clean! Thanks for the Google Doc too! Any updates as of today? Or any changes you recommend?

Sweeeeeet & easy!

I have an xclass 52v 18a with extra battery 52v 20a which one is right model for me??

Interesting stuff. Can you provide a link or model number to either product you've demonstrated?

Nice !

Hello, thx a lot - can you pls advise on the model of DC-DC step-up charger? Will make it for sure as now I use 220V charger plugged to my ecoflow device what is connected to the solar system - but this is certainly not the right way due to lost of power. Thanks a lot

My friend i want to use 1 batery at a time with this combiner is that possible

Is it the same on the new gen battery? I've only got the old one, and usually give the battery a good smack to get it to go in.

It seems great. How did you connect the USB charging Port on an Ebike? where could I get this onboard USB charging port? Thanks in advance!

Why is it that this FBC module can't be used with regen? Is it because the feed back current from the motor sees a high resistance (due to two batteries in parallel) and therefore drive a much higher voltage into the two batteries?

Those pedals go allll the way up don't they?

Love this bike!

Cool looking bike.

SO kewl Rick! Note spelling, as "cool" is nothing you experience while desert riding! 🔥😮‍💨

I don’t know how you do it. My sister in Goodyear said it was 117° today🥵

Man that's good content!! I love the stark contrast in where you ride vs north GA

Link for the X-shifter please?

Dang that looks like fun

*Promo SM* 😎

Thanks for showing us some footage Rick!

Nice!

This is fast.

Wow. Just. Wow!

Hi are you running 6awg wire to the inside the motor and axle or connecting it to the OEM phase wires??

That is beautiful 👍

Hi Rick! Are you still making these by chance? Have a great week!

Sweet bike Rick. Great idea hiding the wires in the headlight bucket. 12,000w is crazy power. Ride safe my friend.

Where did you get the box Rick?

How much for the setup? Also can you make a video how to install it on a scrambler? I’m not even sure where I would place the auxiliary battery.

I have this FBC all I can say....❤ Love It!!!! 😊

any change for a model that works between 10-30 volt

Can you make the XT60 with 2 pin male? I need for a juice bike

I saw that the 50A dual FBC is sold out on the website. However, I see that the 50A dual FBC w/wire is in stock. Is the only difference between the two is that one comes with a wire and the other doesn’t?

Do you have them with XT-90 connectors?

Which buck converter did you use friend, I'd love to get my bike setup like this. Love the tail lights!

Hello, I just received your emails. Can you do another video showing what happens when the top power source goes to zero? Would the bottom source send power back to the top source? Or, are they isolated? Not sure I understand your comment below...."voltages need to have good overlap, in other words they should be within similar operating voltages, otherwise it doesn't give you any advantage." It still would serve a different role to give you power from whatever source is generating.

Just put out $275 for 4 piston Tektro brakes. Juiced brakes finally became unmanageable for me. Need to replace the fork it pings on bumps too it gets stuck then releases. However that is manageable and so your item is next on my list. File for income tax return soon. Oh also had to get new motor for $625 bucks last month-it went after 6,700 miles. That one was expected. Anyway your up next with income tax return. Thanks.

Helpful info! 🙌
