I was shopping for a good price on a new battery and had settled on Samsung 35E cells as what I'd order if possible but would settle for LG M36 from my bike's supplier (Spark/Rize) if that was the best reasonably priced unit I could get other than from China.
The Chinese supplier I liked had just raised their prices significantly from the previous reasonable cost considering a month or 2 delay. Now that the month or two delay is possibly stretching to more than that, I was looking at my bike's supplier and seeing they had supplies of some bikes and batteries but my item was sold out as I watched.
So I looked around and found VoltBike had the Samsung cell battery at very close to the same price as the LG battery I have. The LG battery is showing some signs of degradation so I preferred the Samsung for a try. The tech staff onphone calls was good for helping me find out if it would be OK for my bike by being competent to answer my questions on charging and discharging port type and case dimensions etc.
Bought it and it arrived today. $729 plus tax, and $10 low cost postal delivery makes it a bit cheaper overall than the LG.
I am going to use my meter to test if all connections are the same sign as my original battery.
Here's hoping!
