    Battery upgrade options? Please let me know what you think

    Thanks Is there a rule of thumb for the voltage on a 180W motor? Ping recommends 300W-500W motor for a 36V pack should I be worried? Would a 36V Nimh vs LiFepo4 gives the same performance, if not, what is the % difference?

    charge to lifepo4

    Would someone be kind enough to explain what type of chargers are interchangeable? It is definitely surprising to see that you can use an old fashion SLA charger to charge a LiFePo4. For example if I have a Nimh Charger could I also use it to charge an SLA or a Nicad of the same voltage?

    Nimh to SLA conversion. Your comment is appreciated.

    I have been looking at Nimh and Nicad packs online. They have one connector for charger, another for discharge, and one set for thermal. My current pack only has one charger and discharge terminal. Could I just modify the new pack to have only one 3-prong terminal?
