    Swapping out SLA Batteries for Lithium Iron Phosphate

    Yes I have plans on using the SLA but in a different set-up right now they're set -up as 72 volt @ 20ah new set-up will be 12volts @ 120ah for a different project. So they won't go to waste, yeah part of the problem is the bike will last about 3 trips back and forth to my work then it starts...

    Swapping out SLA Batteries for Lithium Iron Phosphate

    I am thinking of it like the new battery pack can be charged 5-10 thousand times as the SLA is only good for about 3-4 hundred charges. And if only used lightly maybe will get even more charges from them. I would think that it would be easier to charge a half drained battery then a fully drained...

    Swapping out SLA Batteries for Lithium Iron Phosphate

    the new pack is 30.4 ah as the old is 20ah So yes I will get more out of the new pack that way. The old pack can deliver a max w/h of 1,440 but really can only discharge to 50% with the new one it can deliver a max w/h of 2,188.8 and can discharge to 70% But I was also looking at it as it...

    Swapping out SLA Batteries for Lithium Iron Phosphate

    yes so i took the panels off to get a better look at the controller and it is in deed a 38 amp if figured it would be 40amps or less. I know the controller goes by amp and not amp hours. My concern was that the battery pack itself is 96 amps max output. What I was thinking is yes the controller...

    Swapping out SLA Batteries for Lithium Iron Phosphate

    It will do 50 all day but that's not what I'm going for. I want a battery that will last longer and go farther between charges.. That is my goal that and take away about 60 pounds or so from removing the SLA batteries..

    Swapping out SLA Batteries for Lithium Iron Phosphate

    I was hoping that I could just make the battery and do the swap with no other mods but a new charger for the Lithium Battery as they require a different charger.. If I did have to change the controller I would think that if may only have to be like a 40ah controller as I don't think that the...

    Swapping out SLA Batteries for Lithium Iron Phosphate

    The factory li_ion is made up with 18650 cells that are 3.7v per cell. The Pack that they offer is 72volt with a 30ah. It looks like the factory controller is that of 30ah it's hard to read unless I take a bunch of panels off the bike..

    Swapping out SLA Batteries for Lithium Iron Phosphate

    So I got a new bike it's a 72v Emmo Knight Sport. I came with 6 12v 20 AH SLA batteries and they wanted $ 1300 for the upgrade to Lithium 30 AH. So I wanted to build my own battery pack using the K2 26650 3800mAH cells. I am going to be making a pack that will be 24s 8p so it will be 76.8v 30.4...

    New Bike

    Thanks I have built smaller packs before but this is by far the largest one. The BMS that I got for the pack is good for 100 amps I just wasn't sure on the controller end of it.

    Hello everyone Steve from Ontario Canada. I just picked up a Gio Ebike

    Awesome thank you from what I can see the controllers are pretty cheap I could always pick up a better one. So I would be looking for one that is higher voltage or higher amps?
