    Thanks for sharing ! I was waiting for this video ! So the connector is the TC/TS round pin plug ! I wasn’t sure about that as it has less small pins, but as you clarified very well, these are not needed for the charge except the one that goes with the negative.
    Thanks again

    Hi, I would always ensure you plug the mains into the charger before connecting the DC to the battery, otherwise you get a large current draw from the battery back into the charger to fill the output smoothing capacitors which can blow a fuse or even trip the bms if your batt is very low.

      Understood, thank you for the advice and thanks for watching.

    Am I correct that the current TC Wanderer is delivered with a 10A charger so no need to replace it or would a 15A do a noticeable better job. Would it be possible to use a 30A charger as well? Looking into the TC Wanderer for commuting (total daily ride of 25 kms) and I have to say, your channel is making all the difference! Thank your for these informative videos!

      Thanks very much for the kind words.
      Yes, in Europe the wanderer comes with a 10A charger so no need to replace it. If you would like a faster time you could upgrade to a 12 or 15A charger from the same maker.
      To work out your charging time divide your battery ampere hour by the charging current.
      32ah/10A=3.2 hours or 32ah/15A=2.1 hours.
      Add a little extra time for the BMS to balance the cells at the end but it’s roughly around those times.

    Have you any idea about rear suspension upgrade for this bike?

    • @DistantSuns
      @DistantSuns  5 місяців тому

      Well, the short answer is no. I do however think about this every time I ride it.
      The problem is that the design is fundamentally flawed. A monoshock is not the right selection for a rear hub motor because of weight, rotational mass and down force for traction.
      A dual rear shock system is best for this configuration. My dilemma is, do I want to buy an expensive monoshock and get the same results or modify a dual rear shock swingarm from a petrol engine bike that will 100% fix the issue but lose some of the bike's visual design characteristics.
      I'm still undecided...

    Thank you for sharing this pinout. Can I ask where you sourced it? As I have a Street Hunter Pro that I will need to work on and I was under the impression that it uses CAN instead of rs485 for communication. Thank you.

      No Problem, I made the printout myself. The wiring harness under the seat has labels for each of the wires. The communications labels have 485A and 485B printed on them.

    So did you get pulled over the two pins out?

    • @DistantSuns
      @DistantSuns  Місяць тому +1

      Yes, I removed all the other pins and kept pin 3 only ( plus the big main round
      + and - pins. It was much easier to plug in that way.

    Can we charge same time for two batteries and how many time for one battery

    • @DistantSuns
      @DistantSuns  5 місяців тому +1

      0% SOC to full takes about 3.2 hours for one battery and 6.4 hours for two batteries.
      If you use the 12amp charger made by the same company you can expect around 2.6 hours for each battery.
