Don't mind me right now; I'm thinking out loud quietly through the keyboard.
Yup. I've got to replace two swollen cell groups--that translates to $130 to get it running again-again-again--third time now. I think I've spent $1000 so far to achieve 150 battery cycles over 1500 miles in total. Considering gasoline costs about $3.45 per gallon the other day--that's approx. equivalent to 5 miles per gallon.
I'm feeling regret choosing ping and wish there was an instant swap to something reliable, like a 2 stroke moped.
If I do go with the repairs, I will box the battery in some kind of plastic/aluminum/wooden foam insulated case this time. Maybe bubble wrap is not enough and I shouldn't be pointing the finger at ping. But come on, $1000 for 150 cycles? This sucks! :x
