I picked up a Kent Torpedo ($150 on sale!) from Walmart a while back and my kids been having a blast on it, but we keep running out of juice, curses! I need help finding a compatible battery case I can build a new pack in.
It looks like the battery is a 7s2p in their "bottle case" style setup. Kent does sell a spare/replacement, but holy smokes Batman, $200 is WAY over priced for 14 x 2600mah cells and a teeny bms. I've got a dozen or so battery builds under my belt and plenty of good 18650's around to throw at this, but I can't for the life of me find a suitable empty case anywhere I look.
I've scoured Aliexpress pretty good finding things like the "cuttle" battery case, a few similar all-in-the-bottle kits (but in 36v), and even a 2170 variant of this style.
But for the life of me, can't find the "mini" 7s2p version of this with the 4 prong connector on the base of this particular brand. I would really prefer to not hack-job in something else at this point (nor do I want to spend $200+ dollars to fully swap out to a 36v system with similar bottle setups). Just a second battery.
Just putting a line out there to see if anybody might have a better sluething sense on how to source these.
(Very high chance I'll also rebuild the stock battery -- using 2600mah cells? Come on, those are rookie numbers!)
