Yeah I like those cells. They are still $100 each for the 40 Ah right?Patrick said:We do have ThunderSky in hand, and these are only $2/Ah, instead of the of $3/Ah for the 40138. These are the 40 and 90 Ah cells - they are rated 3C...

Wow, that's a good price and for a whopping 40 ahPatrick said:The ThunderSky (LFP40AHA) are $80, not $100 ($2/Ah). Also, they are nominal 3.2 volts, rather than 3.3.
Well the thinking right now is to use 12 Thundersky cells (38.4v 1536Wh $960) and then use a small bicycle (legal) motor in the 750 watt range. The range would be about 80 miles at full power. Then add an individual cell voltage meter of some sort on the bike to be able to monitor each cell and watch for low voltage situations. I'd prefer this because I like to know what's going on verses using some automated method of monitoring. (if a cell is going into decline I want to know about it early) When it comes to charging I'd also charge at an individual level to make sure things are optimized.Patrick said:Ideally you will tune this with a programmable BMS and charger.
Patrick is quoting the same price for less than 100 ($2/Ah) but he hasn't said anything about shipping costs. Maybe he has enough business with them that it's a small addon.Deepkimchi said:Thundersky 40 ah is 1.7 $ per ah if you buy more than a hundred.

Still have shipping though..

Deepkimchi said:OOps - sorry. Thought it would be per piece > 101...
safe said:The Thundersky 40 ah cells are a little large for most ebike applications.
The 40138's are smaller and probably make more sense for ebikes, but they are more expensive relative to their energy capacity.
I don't think Patrick is involved in anything 40138 related. This thread is a place to post great offers for a potential group purchase... if ANYONE knows of a great deal then by all means post it here and let's see if anything can be put together.Deepkimchi said:So Patrick, how's it going with the 40138s?
