This is an update that may not help anyone since Dillinger doesn't even sell the kit I have anymore (they sell a better version now): Since my original battery recently died, I bought a shark pack from Luna Cycle that is 52V nominal instead of the original 48V nominal. I am happy to report...

Yep, they are no-name cells. In all fairness, the latest Dillinger 1000w off-road kit has Samsung cells, so they are stepping up their game it seems.

3000 mile update: My original battery is now dead (one bad cell group). I can go about a mile before the LVC kicks in and shuts it down. So in the end the no-name battery from Dillinger got me 3000 miles. I'm now in the market for a battery with Panasonic cells. Anyway, the rest of the kit...

2000 miles and only one hiccup. I left work one day and my bike would not turn on, the screen just flashed at me giving me a "low voltage" warning. The battery was fine (54 volts) so I contacted Dillenger. They looked at my video and sent me a new LCD unit, which unfortunately did not solve...

The problem likely was all the drooling I did over their ebike frame they sell, I bet that fried the electronics...

I was also unable to access the site yesterday.

I have a cheap kit from dillenger (below) that includes a KT-LCD1 display unit: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) This control panel has worked for about 9 months, but now it does not turn on properly. If I hit the on button, it gives me gibberish on the screen and then turns off. If I hold...

I agree, though I wonder if that is a problem with any such kit since the design seems pretty standard. Either way, the bike handles way better now that I have the battery in the frame triangle...

Original dimensions: 14.5 x 6 x 3 (inches) Battery without case: 10 x 4.5 x 2.5 (inches) plus the wires and dangling connectors and key cylinder

1500 miles and still no problems whatsoever. My office moved closer to home so my commutes are now only about 9 miles each way, no sweat for this ebike kit. I ended up taking the battery out of its aluminum case, in order to fit it into a triangle frame bag along with the controller (the large...

Only $38? I got screwed! ;)

I remember being extremely pleased that shipping was only $50 on my kit. I had thought the kit would have to come all the way from Australia (or China).

You found my bike! It's pretty much the most basic, low-end 1990s MTB ever built, but it still works brilliantly. I found it on Craigslist and I am very satisfied, since it is a combination of all-steel construction and very low price. The only mod to the bike itself that was necessary was...

I have my review of a different Dillenger kit in this forum. Since my kit at around $900 was suited for my needs, I would not have gone for the Arc kit due to cost (it was not for sale at the time I bought mine). I am satisfied with my Dillenger kit though, and would buy again in a similar...

500 Miles review: The kit is still going strong after 500 miles of commuting in 17-mile (one way) trips. The voltage meter tends to be down to two bars out of four, usually with the third bar having just disappeared near the end of each trip. I have the battery in a pannier now and I got rid...

My wife is signing us up for Prime membership soon, so I should be able to get that one free. Thanks for the heads-up!

Wow, I can only hope to get that kind of longevity. Was this a daily commute or was it more occasional use?

Mine are Headway LiMn. My question is really just theoretical since I have no way to determine SOC at the moment. Do you know of any resources on this subject that might discuss multiple types of battery? In the future I plan to go with LiFePo since it seems the most cost effective and weight...

I have a related question for anyone with technical knowledge: I have also read that it would be best to neither charge fully nor discharge fully. However, it seems to me that, for a given commute (say 50% of total battery capacity used), if you do not charge fully, then your commute will...

I finally started commuting to work on my old Diamondback MTB with the Dillenger 1000w kit linked below: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) This kit was only $809 when I bought it on sale a month or so ago. It's $899 normally. Shipping is $50 more (to Florida). Here is my info: Terrain...
