Hello
So I've been inspired by some of the builds in here(https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=84905&p=1273587#p1273587) that have some neat solutions to using a standard battery pack from a cordless tool to power an e-bike.
So apart from how to design it the question that comes to mind in the jungel of battery/cordless tools brands are: what make/brand do you think gives the best value for money Ah/$? It's kind of easy just to calculate the price pr Ah, but with no previous experience of how fast the different brands discharge/hold up it's not so easy to conclude.
If you look at this test for reel life use of 18V battery drills(Sorry it's in Norwegian, but still I think most people would understand, do to the numbers alone, just scroll a bit down) you'l see that Milwaukee can drill almost 3 times more(52 against 20) 30 mm hulls than Makita on one battery. Make you wonder if they got a faulty battery from Makita? https://www.tv2.no/a/9134858/
