+1 In Spain, these guys style of not responding is well known. Stay away Technically, they announced a risky extender "plug and pray ;)" connected to the charging port without any reverse current protection for the original battery. Very commercial, very risky. Lots of complains have been...

Sorry to read this There is a lot of bogus marketing behind extenders "made in Spain" In that particular case, the extender is manufactured by an individual selling batteries in 2nd hand websites /Apps mainly Wallapop This is the listing for that particular battery it´s the same being sold by...

The problem is the design of the diode module, it´s just an schottky diode It takes only a basic thermal test, let´s say 10Amps to check that those diodes overheat seriously In Spain it´s already known, many peope affected by the same problem as you

My DU-E8000 is now 9200Km (5700 miles ) and it´s time for a new service After 4500 Km (2800 miles) with PG75 grease it has performed with absolutely no problem Water has been kept away of this motor

You can accidentally make a short with nickel fragments scattered around the workbench. The tip of the pliers tends to break in this type of work. You don't want metal fragments falling on a LiIon battery There is another risk, which is not usually discussed: breaking the battery case...

It´s not Shimano, it´s Sony Shimano batteries are manufactured by Sony Wuxi (china division) so, Sony-Murata cells is a logic selection. Information is reliable, the source is the UN 38.3 test report for transportation safety

How did you apply the 1 amp charge? I have discharged mine (8010) in the lab, down to 28V with up to 6 amps and had no problem. It´s is still alive DC load was connected internally in the power pack with the battery off

Stay away from Volabike!!! That company is selling sh*t like that on the pictures attached by Trailwatts. They talk about "safety layers", "propietary electronics" but the fact is that they are selling the kits with silicon or schottky diodes enclosed on heat shrink tube ignoring all the...

Hope that happens soon, really. You will stop loosing years of life blaming Shimano all over the internet. You know! I had problems with my motor, had to repair it by myselfm but it´s now 1600 Km of playfullness and joy if ride...and much much less posting about Shimano in this and other forums...

The BMS-AFE is an standard chip from Texas Instrumets, it controls de secondary protection, the "fuse" you mention, as a last line of defense May be for any reason, the BMS tripped an alarm and tirggered the fuse What is more interesting is that the control circuit, the uC driven does not block...

It´s only possible with laboratory mesaruments directly on the battery using a dc load and datalogger. Fortunately i have both, the lab and a new battery so in the next months i plan to start using it and tracking capacity on the lab vs life indicated on the Shimano Display

A good question I don´t know the cause, but my feeling is that there is a lot of variability. Some motors last 20.000+km, some fail before 3.000 Mine was donde with only 3500Km, and after 100km more had to replace all bearings, not only the ones on the pedal shaft, it was not a problem of water...

Nice work!! Any clue on the battery-motor protocol?

Mine is 1200Km after service, no problems Mixed use, MTB, enduro, road, no complaints from the torque sensor

Yes could be an strain gauge one, but for me it´s strange because the ring magnet is too far from the fixed PCB. There is where the encoder should be for detecting the pedal stroke. For example the encoder Allegro A1333 used on makerbase servo stepper motor for 3D printer in mounted on top of...
