I bought my ping v2.5 24V, 15 AHr battery in April of this year. The cost of the battery was, as it is on his web page today, $269. There was a $60 shipping fee which included all customs work. So total cost was $329.

Ping modified my battery so that it fit the currie rack case in 2 dimensions, height and width, but it was too thick so I had to make a bump out in the case. I know at least two others have done this.

I've had nothing but happiness from my battery. I did a complete check on the hook up and use of the battery before it arrived. I know some have had bad results because they hooked the battery up incorrectly either for use or for charging.

I get about 30 miles out of a charge on hilly ground with lots of muscle input. The battery has been charged at least once a day since April ~160 days. Its performance today seems the same as it was in April.
