    Best Practices: Caring for Ping Battery

    I've been running the 36v20ah ping battery with the 5A charger for a while now and all is fine. A 0.25C charge rate is not going to be damaging at all so you're fine there.

    Victpower battery pack after 1 year

    It should be easy to replace the batteries in the OSN pack. What I mean is that I don't have packaging material to put it all back. I can use duct tape and whatnot, but in its current state, it barely fits into my bag. Chances are, I won't be able to wrap it as tight and with an extra layer of...

    Victpower battery pack after 1 year

    I really don't want to open it up because I'll have no way of packing it again. If it ain't broke, I'm not fixing it. :mrgreen: My cells should be easy to replace. OSN used their own kit for the assembly.

    Victpower battery pack after 1 year

    I hope that's not the case as I recently bought a battery from OSN (B-grade). Been using it for my commute everyday and it's been holding up so far. Only time will tell whether I got a good one or a dud. I truly think the issue with the OP's battery is how it was put together, rather than the...

    Battery might take longer, especially if they have to be assembled prior to shipping.

    Hobby or Money Saver?

    It was a money saver at first until I started doing upgrades to go faster. Then the savings went out the window. :lol:

    A123 20ah Cells on eBay

    I hope that's not the case. I bought a 12s1p A123 20ah battery from OSN and it's been working flawlessly so far. I suppose only time will tell whether I got good ones or not.

    BioPlanet ebike [apparently a fraud attempt - see page 5 on]

    I was going to pull the trigger a few months ago, but after reading this thread, I'm glad I didn't. This criminal can go to hell.

    Mac 6t compared to the q100 328

    I initially wanted to get the Q100 328 but the price difference was small enough for me to opt for the Mac 8T. I'm glad I did because it seems to be more robust than the Q100. I wanted the 10T because of torque (12T would be too slow), but because of my 39v battery, I didn't think I would have...

    Greenworks 40v 4Ah Battery-Whats inside????

    I don't have the 40v 4AH but I do have the 24V 4AH. Most likely they both use the same cells. No store around there other than Harbor Freight carried tamper-proof T10 bits that's long enough. Anyhow, I took apart the battery and really, it's nothing special. It's your typical 18650 cells. This...
