    Ping battery for $99.99? SCAM ALERT

    I checked the completed listings on ebay for Ping 48V20AH batteries to see if they are going for less than pingbattery.com prices and I swear that one went for under $100 and another went for under $250 today. Please tell me I am hallucinating or at least that an ES member got them...

    Confirm, please, that this LiPo pack is a goner?

    You might be able to save it but you will have to leave it in the refrigerator for several days. It's actually not that hard. Here is what you do: Put the battery on the middle shelf. You probably need to put the glass of salt water in first as that goes behind the battery. It doesn't...

    Vengeance and community service always puts a smile on my face. I particularly like instant Karma. I feel compassion right up until someone's problems put other people in danger. I guess that's all you need to know 'bout me 'cept: 41 revolutions around the Sun Freelance video camera...

    Lithium Batteries Shipping Rules Discussions

    I'm a little surprised that nobody knows if batteries are being shipped from China. This seems like a critical issue for people like me that aren't capable of putting together their own packs from loose cells.

    Lithium Batteries Shipping Rules Discussions

    Have the Lithium battery suppliers (notably Ping) figured out how to ship batteries with the new regulations that started October first? I know that UPS destroyed someone's pack a few weeks ago ahead of the new rules and I don't want that to happen with a $1000 battery pack. Has anyone ordered...

    Lithium Battery Reports & Tests' 9/08

    Power tools aren't run under those kinds of loads continuously. Think about a work site. The hand power tools are on for a minute at a time to cut a few boards then it is time to take measurements or install the boards with another tool. One battery pack doesn't get hit at full capacity for...

    The same site should have crimp ends of the different sizes so you don't need to buy all new connectors.

    Your very first bicycle...

    My first had training wheels and solid tires. Now that I think of it, that is a bit odd. My first real bike was a metallic flake purple one-speed with a metallic purple banana seat. It may have been a Murray. Next was a red 10-speed that I believe was from AMF. I still own a blue metallic...

    prodution version of chevy volt revealed here

    Well, you weren't entirely wrong. It is all electric in the drive train. The traction motor is electric and the gas engine is only connected to the road via the electric drivetrain. This system is called a series hybrid as opposed to the parallel hybrid of the prius and other systems. The...

    72V off-the-shelf LiFePO4?

    I finally got my 5304 (for my first build) and I have yet to finalize my battery decision. I've been thinking of a 28AH Ping battery but I now see how efficient 72V systems are on this motor. I am not highly capable with electronics so something close to off-the-shelf is probably as far as I...

    prodution version of chevy volt revealed here

    "100 miles I could live with, Daytona is 30 miles S and St. Augustine 30 miles N so a trip to either one is a minimum of 60 miles. One end of our county to the other is more range than the Volt will deliver." The Volt is a hybrid. It can go a bazillion gazillion miles on gasoline, just like...
