    Lithium ion EGO 56v pack vs LiFePo4 at 30 amps

    If they were not $25 a piece I'd be all over them. I've just used a spot welder on high on the aluminum side and then put hot glue under the metal connecting strips between the cells to further help hold them in place so as not to stress the spot welds on the aluminum. Have 3 such 48v packs in...

    Lithium ion EGO 56v pack vs LiFePo4 at 30 amps

    Well I was able to test the A123 4.5Ah vs EGO 7.5Ah packs. The test is not terribly precise but as close as I could make and useful for my needs. We charged both packs the night before then following afternoon rode with the A123 pack first up a long gentle slope to get the voltage once the...

    Lithium ion EGO 56v pack vs LiFePo4 at 30 amps

    I have a couple of go karts and Razor mx600 bikes ive Moses to 1800 w motors, controllers and LiFePo4 A123 AHR32113 ultra B cells 4500mah each. These big cells are capable of 100 amp discharge over and over and 6c charge rate. The 30 amps we intermittently throw at them while riding is nothing...

    Best price on EGO 56v 7.5A Pack, handle 30 amps?

    You probably need a snow blower then. :D They are $799 with two 7.5A batteries and a charger included. $600 in batteries and $100 fast charger said to charge 7.5a pack in one hour. At Home Depot and not on sale.

    Best price on EGO 56v 7.5A Pack, handle 30 amps?

    I’ll check with Granger. I should also say that you can’t buy a five amp hour battery for $60 but if you buy the leaf blower you can get a five amp hour battery for $60 more than the leaf blower on its own.Considering the cells in these things are good for 20 A apiece (max) they are an...

    Best price on EGO 56v 7.5A Pack, handle 30 amps?

    Can’t seem to find a sale on the 7.5A pack I want to use to power kids go kart and Razor mx600 dirt bike. Both run with 1800 watt 48v motors at up to 30 amps. There is a sale on the backpack leaf blower where you can get the 5A battery for $60 but no deals on 7.5A pack. Best I’ve found is $290...

    Understanding and Using EGO Power+ Batteries

    Anyone still working on this? I'd like to be able to mount the EGO battery quick and easy but believe I can't just attach to the two outside connectors on the battery. I believe I need to attach somehow to the T or the D connecting port in addition or battery will not work. Yes/no? Perhaps an...

    Where is a great place to find quality 18650 cells cheap?

    Have decided on LiFe cells. Looking for suggestions for life cells you've found to be a great value. Good price for the cells performance. 3000mah or larger would allow for a pack of 60 cells for 15Ah. Cheap doesn't always = value.

    What are great LiFePo4 cells and where to find them?

    New to this and trying to find a 36v 12 to 15Ah set up that I can recharge in about an hour is exhausting. When I think I've read everything I find a pile of new information. Li-ion seems to be great except it can't be charged at even 1/2C. LiFe packs from china have a discharge rate of about...

    Where is a great place to find quality 18650 cells cheap?

    I believe LifePO4 packs are heavier and more expensive but wouldn't they allow much faster charging? The tinkerer in me wants to build my own pack but I don't think there are inexpensive life cells. The batteries get placed inside the Razor Mx650 dirt bike and get inclosed with 5 or 6 bolts...

    Where is a great place to find quality 18650 cells cheap?

    Wow, bummer. Guess I'm used to using LiFePo4 packs as a receiver pack in RC planes. We can charge those with 2C charge rate no problem at all. Sounds like if I want my kids to ride these electric dirt bikes all day with 1 hour down time for charging I need LiFePo4 packs or really high...

    Where is a great place to find quality 18650 cells cheap?

    Awesome, he's my guy then. Thank you. Now to figure out which cell is right for me.... Need 36v pack with max discharge of 20A and want around 15Ah capacity. Researched all he has listed. Much to consider but most appeared only truly good at 1C for 300 or so cycles. Would like to charge at...

    Where is a great place to find quality 18650 cells cheap?

    Ok, I shouldn't say cheap. I want good cells with 3c or better rating that I can charge at least at 1c if not faster. I've purchased four battery powered Razor dirt bikes for my sons for christmas (all used) and want to increase the ride time and reduce a 12hr lead acid battery charge time to...
