I finally got the bike running. The batteries fit in snuggly with all the padding removed and the battery cover fits. However the headlight won't work. It shows 18vdc(24volt system) and if I take out the bulb the headlight switch lights up....yikes. Something is missing. Traced back the circuit. Maybe the switch is bad. I go up my street around the corner up a hill with full power but after about 30 seconds the indicator goes to half bars. I suspect the discharge circuit. I am not sure that this will protect the batteries. I am worried I will wind up with a smoking mass of plastic and maybe a fire. The eGo supposedly can draw 180 amps at full throttle from a stop in go fast mode. 60 amps continuous when cruising. However when I level out and not going up hills the meter goes to full power. The 40 ah rating of this battery is 5 more amp hours than the original. The chemistry is supposedly safe. Can I count on the discharge circuit to protect the batteries? Can I simply use the batteries as is? Allow them to sag? What are the consequences? This is my first venture into lithium batteries. They sure do charge and balance much better than lead.
