I'm building a bike for a friend of mine who is recovering from a major injury. The BLDC hub motor I'm using has a very fast wind, so I have sourced a 24V 25A controller to put it in the correct power and speed range for the application.
Here's my puzzle: I need to find a safe, turn-key, self-contained battery pack for the bike that can deliver a true 25A current continuously. Almost all the frame or rack mounted 24V packs I have found are rated for 10-15A, with a few rated for 20A. A pack that can give more than 25A would be a bonus, because then I'd be able to fit a higher current controller later if he wants one.
The pack doesn't need a huge amount of capacity, but it needs to carry whatever load this controller can put on it. I'm passing the hat among this guy's friends for the battery pack (while I'm donating the bike, motor, and labor to assemble). So low cost is an important criterion. I was hoping to find something workable for less than $400.
Also, this guy is not technologically inclined, so the battery needs to be plug and play, in a durable case, with full BMS and no significant risk of fire. I can't expect him to deal with parallel packs.
Ping packs appear to fit the power requirements, but two months lead time and a naked shrink wrapped pack aren't what I'm looking for. Ideally, I'd like to deal with a USA vendor.
Any ideas?
