Found them, thanks :)

I have a pack of Lifepo4 cells, still like new, just a bit bulky and I don't do the long ride I originally purchased them for so was wondering how I'd go about repurposing them to use as a power supply, just for some things like a little light, small car type fan etc? We are in hurricane season...

Oh, this is a similar kayak with a 30lb thrust motor moving along pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lha9ONDYJu4

It's a coleman 2 person inflatable, they don't make it specifically anymore, it is 11ft long, not aerodynamic at all but not tipsy and can really stretch out--especially with an electric motor. The design like in video for motor support, since I have 36v of cells I might as well get a 36v...

I haven't been using my electric bike as much lately, been enjoying pedaling when I do go which isn't as often or definitely not as far as when I built the e-bike; the batteries are the prismatic cells, like new; thought they'd make good batteries for an electric trolling motor on my 2 person...

Hmm, that's a good point; Once riding my bike carrying one of those big art portfolio cases a wind hit me almost hard enough to knock me over, so that does seem like an issue, high and narrrow is generally a formula for tipping, wonder what the designer has to say about that. Otherwise I like it.

I just don't want the possibility of it catching fire for a bit more mah; would an 18650 be safer?

Oops, had meant I ended up going with lifePo cells for my e-Bike instead of lipo, not about the rc car.

I know this isn't e-bike related but hoping someone can give me some input on this: my child has a little rc stunt car, 3.7v 400mah battery that has to be taken out ea' time to recharge but there's space in battery box for larger. I remember when I first started out on here getting some warnings...

I hadn't considered drilling the lock box; guess figured it'd be too strong; but from what I'm reading doesn't seem like it. Would I be able to use some Scotch-weld 3M DP 460 in the threads instead of welding?

It doesn't do me much good if the lock box is stolen; if could find one with a strong handle could attach to u-lock or similar to something secure. I like the shackle type like for keys if there was one much larger to store documents and the like, any ideas? Thanks!

I built the pack using 9 Prismatic LiFePO4 3.2V/30Ah that I managed to fit into a Jandd Rack Pack 2. The pack's BMS controls each battery so can be different voltage "BMS for 3~16 LiFePO4 cells in series."

I can upgrade to 36v, have the other 3 cells. I asked specifically about 27v and he replied " Setting the voltage to 24v is enough to get the kit to work with a 27v battery." As I am new to brushless does this seem reliable?

I am looking at a front hub kit that the seller tells me I can adjust the voltage on it, is anyone familiar with this? I have been using a 27v x 30ah pack with a brush motor and while I have the other 3 cells to make it 36v the current setup works for me. Has anyone used a controller that the...

Which causeway bridge?
