I get your drift Flippy, and you are right again of course. My prime limitation, as I mentioned earlier, is that my personal health issues and restricted ambulatory abilities (which continue to regress) may deny me the ability to use my scooter altogether not so far down the pike. Otherwise...

Thank you sincerely Flippy for your comprehensive reply. You've pretty well convinced me, as I suspected all along, that most if not all of the lower cost ebay/Chinese made Lifepo4 batteries are not going to "cut the mustard", especially over time. That being said, however, the price range...

Okay Flippy, you've got my undivided attention. Thanks for your comments, and I take it from your avatar that you have a distinct interest and knowledge of Lithium batteries......to the contrary, I have virtually none. I'm not even sure what you meant by your last comment; "...should be able to...

I think I understand you to say that lifepo4 batteries are good for storing energy but inappropriate for use with e-bikes or e-scooters. If my understanding is correct, then that's the first time I've heard anyone make that assertion. Do have some further information that you could provide...

Just wanted to let you see the seller's reply when I asked him about your comment above that you made about the battery's amperage........"The battery can handle 30Amps and 60Amps peak current." Unless I hear some other contrary comments on this post, I think I'll go ahead and take a bit of a...

Thanks Dan...that's a big help

I asked a seller (of a 48v 15ah LifePo4 battery for 700w ebike) if he had any comments on the compatibility of his battery for my mobility scooter which currently uses (4) 12v 20ah sla batteries for it's 48v system with 800w motor. His reply was to request the specifications on my controller...

I've have previously received some very good advice from this forum on replacing my four SLA 12v 20ah batteries with Lifepo4's for powering my 15mph, three-wheeled, 800W Chinese mobility scooter. The essence has been that if I wish to switch to Lithium batteries I should get at least a 15ah...

Thanks for the recommendation, but your instructions are way over my head.

Thanks for the suggestions....

I owe this forum an apology..... :oops: I just realized that I asked basically the same questions in a previous post that I asked in this post. The truth of the matter is that I'm 73 years old and the short term memory has gone to hell in a handbasket, so I had completely forgotten about...

I have a 48v (4 x 12v 20 ah) SLA power bank for my three-wheeled electric mobility scooter (Chinese made, no brand). I think I'd like to get a LifePo4 battery at replacement time (which is getting close) and I would like to know if matching the 20 ah ampere of my existing system is essential...

Thanks for the info....

You know, this is a good point. I happen to have a three-wheeled (fast) mobility scooter myself, and I too will soon need to replace my four 12v 20ah batteries as well. The LifePo4 option is initially much more expensive, as you pointed out, but in the long run it may even be a bit less...

You are correct. They should be deep cycle batteries. I am not buying them however, my neighbor is, so he'll have to decide what he's willing to pay. Thanks for your link/suggestion as well. I'll be sure to show it to him.
