But it does suck about Dost, and it is a warning about the over supply of companies in the ebike space.
I wonder how many car companies there once were ...
You are a gentleman and a scholar. My first car was a Studebaker.. My first computer a TRS 80.. My first ebike a Specialized. Learn from my experiences ...Nope.
My first wife was a stripper
What?
And just how many times have you used that line? 87?
As of today... 88
The Voltage, AH and connector are certainly important, but you also need to consider the low voltage cutoff. On most bikes, the LVC is part of the internal battery BMS. On a few others, the LVC is in the bike's controller. If you use a battery without a built in LVC in a bike without one in the controller, it is possible to over discharge and damage the battery.
I would never have considered that.... So thank you for the information. Just when you start to think you are getting these e-bikes figured out, something throws you a curve ball...
Makes me wish for an integrated motor/battery/controller system ...until I remember that anysuch would always be a proprietary/locked system, and how those usually work out.
Very few riders I know discharge a battery until the LVC cuts out. Most observe the 80/20 rule and don't discharge much below 20%. If you play by the rule, the LVC thing isn't that big a deal.
I won't argue the point. As I said, the problem is unusual, just something to be aware of.

"if you buy cheap knockoffs, beware" seems like a good plan.I won't argue the point. As I said, the problem is unusual, just something to be aware of.
Some overseas battery manufacturers do everything they can to keep costs down. Unfortunately, the quality of the BMS in some of these products is suspect.
Grin Technologies ran afoul of this back in 2014 with their LiGo battery line. The product was discontinued briefly due to the inferior BMS installed by their overseas supplier. The product has been redesigned and is now back on the market. Read the story here:
LiGo Batteries - Grin Products - Product Info
The LiGo battery is a modular 36V pack designed and manufactured at Grin that is just under the 100 Wh limit allowed for passenger air travel. This allows you to bring multiple small batteries with you in your carry-on baggage, and then hook the packs together to behave as a single large battery...
Two of the earlier LiGo packs I bought, died from over discharge. Grin is a reputable company and they provided a refund. I can't say enough about Grin Tech, but that's another post.
There is a reason some batteries cost $300 and others well over $1000 for the same spec. It isn't likely you will run into a LVC issue with the quality batteries provided by major manufacturers. All I'm saying is, if you buy cheap knockoffs, beware.
hmmmm.... Do you think my Raulex watch possibly dangerous?
Don't know. I haven't worn a watch since my first "smartphone " which is definitely not dangerous, in spite of all those airplane fires a while back caused by premium Samsung cells. Those were all fake news, I read..
