Sad story: I bought an electric bike here in Beijing about 2 months ago. 2 days ago it was stolen. Partly my fault - I usually haul the battery up with me to my apartment every night, but during this time of the year almost any kind of ebikes are stolen. I have found a way to chain another bike to a substantial pole - I think that is going to prevent another theft. I am looking at buying a second hand bike and upgrading it. The first upgrade I want to do is the battery. It currently has a 48v sla battery - I think it is 12 amp.
My question: It is possible to build a battery using battery packs that have already been assembled, i.e. 8 x (12v,10amp packs) to give me a 48v 20 amp pack. What are the advantages of using a pack that is built cell by cell, vs, battery pack by battery pack? keep the bms in mind.
