just scanning through new scientist and came across this, http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21328516.100-charging-up-an-allelectric-320-kmh-racing-car.html A consortium of manufacturers are making a 200mph 320kmph Electric race car with exciting new EV tech including BAE systems...

well said wineboy, but devries wasn't saying America wern't fracked..to the contrary he said he didn't think USA had hit bottom.. but you are correct..USA will soon fall as the world reserve currency and world economy may collapse.. and just imagine how what 200-100 million armed crazies will...

guys in the US...you are so lucky as you have reserve currency of the world status...this is why UK & Europe works out $9+ a gallon and you guys only pay <$5.00.. but the worst is to come...America is no longer a AAA credit rated country and will soon loose world reserve status..China and...

Ordo ab Chao hey! order from chaos.. or a Hegelian Dialectic...thesis vs antithesis = synthesis... or now known as PRS..(problem reaction solution) (or to some people..no names.. non existent false flag terror!!) wonder what secret organisation follows those mantras??.. "If you got a problem...

Here Here!...if these cells are legitimate and useable then they are a very good price.. the same a123 20ah prismatics are going on a123rc.com @ $32.00 a cell. but as neptronix pointed out. I too would only trust the opinion of a well known ES member or someone they would vouch for as a tester...

weight of the 20ah a123 is 467g per cell if i remember correctly at 3.3v?? each i think so 11s to make a 36v 20ah batt. so 5.1kg total. well i'm gonna run 72v 20ah (possibly switchable to 36v 40ah) so 10.2kg total

I too am interested in this!.. I'd love to be able to switch between 36v 40ah and 72v 20ah :D mainly for range vs speed and the old "sorry officer it only goes 15mph unassisted I just peddle hard!" switch :wink:

I will forever when giving advice specify with clarity the meaning of my words as I know unclear advice can be conflicting....hence my attempt at highlighting the problem not being part of it! to be fair i am quite new to the forum/specific subject (Lipo battery tech) so have found it a little...

i know i do understand the differences in all the LIPO (li-polymer) techs...(properly now anyway. I knew what the chemistries were but not their specific characteristics) I was just pointing out the miss uses or confusions in its use to try help other newbies in future.. :) i have always known...

and will do thanks!! :D :D

can I just throw in one more thing?? I profusely apologise for my slight thread hack... but does either of you know if maybe I could put the headways to use as solar storage (i'm gonna charge my bike when the panels are installed) just i still have deep cycle AGM batteries to get for that..but...

yes sorry amberwolf i was a little self contradictory in my sentence about prismatic a123s... I meant were the a123s lifepo4 like my headways but in pouch form factor...(I was mainly only looking at the 20ah pouch ones) you were not to know this obviously ;) also I wasn't aware anything could...

Sorry dude! glad you managed to de-cypher my ranting...just a little grumpy as my bikes beginnings have got a touch expensive. :evil: :wink: hehe and cheers for the speedy reply!... so let me get this right a123 are all lifepo4..so anyone saying they're lipo is confused? the prismatic...

So..maybe some clarification on the old lipo front...just for beginners....would be handy.. In most threads the difference between lipo and Lifepo4 has been highlighted....as the difference between two chemistries I originally thought... (but I know the whole general banner for lithium polymer...

haha...if I wasn't stuck in the Uk i'd consider it!..this van screams A-TEAM!!...just need an oxy acetylene torch and queue the music!...hehe
