Since my 24s2p lipo pack rated for 200A has served me more than 8K miles in a little over 2 years and I expect it to last at least another 4K miles and another year. I consider it an excellent battery. And the fact that it only cost me ~$275 makes it more than an excellent battery. it's lighter and smaller in volume than most other types. And it's modular. I can switch between 24s2p to 12s4p in under 3 seconds. I've used it on 2 bikes which required 2 totally different shapes. So I really don't see any need to spend more 31 cents per wh for any battery.nlhaines said:Can we all at least agree that a good battery is worth the extra cash?
That sounds amazing. Where do you buy such a pack?
What exactly do you do when you "attend" a charging battery? Just keep near it with a fire extinguisher ready? I'm not sure a potentially hazardous pack would be a good thing for my girlfriend, but I am definitely intrigued. If she could just charge it at home outside on a brick patio in a grill then that would probably be pretty safe. If it's a matter of actively monitoring the battery and different readings then it definitely wouldn't work.
