As advertised on ebay. Can't say those are the cells I got

I would charge and store that where you wouldn't mind having a fire.

what makes you think there is risk of a fire with these specific batteries? If they have an internal BMS, and use correct charger, how high is the risk of un-balanced overcharging? or, are you talking Li-ion versus LiFeSO4 chemistry ?

shopping for a replacement battery pack.... best deal on name brand (panasonic) seems to be on AliExpress.... thought I'd check in to ask if others have good/bad experience with these batteries or direct ship from AliExpress?

36v - 20ah - with charger, panasonic soft pack
$56 + $32 shipping air - 2wks https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000559535468.html?

This looks like a scam waiting to happen.

yeah.... never did succeed in buying via aliexpress.... I ended up paying more for something that was already in the country, from a reputable US dealer

Aliexpress has never worked for me either. There always seems to be a problem with my password or whatever. However, some individuals have had excellent experience. Most of the time I've been able to locate something from a reputable company for almost the same price.

Try the ebike marketplace in Las Vegas. They either have it or can rebuild yours (I think).

Anyone in here bought a Hailong battery from Unit Pack Power recently? Reviews are good, just hoping to get some personal experiences.

2old 06-03-21 07:20 PM

Look at endless sphere reviews "What's wrong with UPP" or something similar.

jojimbo 06-04-21 03:27 PM

Weelllll thats a bummer, unfortunately I'd ordered it earlier this week already after seeing their high reviews on ebay. I was hoping I could get some help regarding the power connecter to the battery base and the controller. Unfortunately mine don't match up and i'm not sure what I can do about it

Just watch it while charging and you should be OK (I'd charge it outside or in a safe place (fireplace, barbecue or ???).

Ping lifepo4

I bought a PING lifepo4 battery which lasted and performed very well in spite of my careless ignorance. I only wish I had known then what I know now and I would have probably gotten much more from my pack.

Things I did wrong: charging the pack 100% after each ride; charging in freezing weather; 5A charging.

My pack was being discontinued when I checked with Ping for replacement. I had a new pack assembled locally by Chans battery (London Ontario). It is a Li ion pack. It performs perfectly well and I expect to keep it a long time thanks to my Luna Cycle charger. I charge at either 1A or 2A and limit my charge to 80%. The pack is fully charged every 2-3 months so as to allow the cells to balance. I never feel the need to charge at the full 5A

The Ping battery was excellent and gave me more than I deserved.

As headline figures, ZapBatt already reports, from its existing battery technology:
  • Software and hardware extends the cycle life of ZapBatt Lithium Titanate battery systems up to 15,000+ cycles, which equates to 25+ years
  • Charge time less that 20 minutes, as a result of ZapBatt battery AI, which tracks, analysis, and optimizes 26 different specifications to improve all aspects of battery performance.
