well i dont need the lawnmower but i am interested in the 10ah 24volt nicad packs it uses. i was going to go lithium but i may be moving again come spring and i need to start saving money. i have over $200 in canadan tire gift cards from christmas

ill pick two up see if its usable. at this point anythings better than led acid i can even reuse the original cases lol

cheers

I was under the impression that NiCads were NOT powerful enough......

no people are using them :0 thay have alot of power its just the drop off point is sharp. not like led acid that dies slowly.

a small update one problem i had with going with from a 15ah to 10ah was the cutout point. it would not cutout totally but it was a pain. so i found that r11 resister on the golden motor controller changes the cutout point so i had a look at my other controller and the ics are the same just a different layout. so to make a long story short i found it and changed the value. the packs work great for miles. would be nice to add a pot so i can ajust it with different batterys.

cheers

karma

here is a test of the power the packs output

up and down the parking lot. LOL!!!!!!!

Sounds windy.

yup and wet cold and dont forget the mud. lots of sand on the road didnt think it would be a good idea to carry the cam on a ride. you can feel the front wheel slip in turns. not a good time to ride here
