I feel like a traitor, not just getting another Ping. Nothing wrong with the Pings I have, but I want to be able to take a 100 mile ride without any charging. I've been looking at this chemistry for a while and wanted to try one. Haven't seen much in the way of reviews, but it is supposed to be about as "safe" as LiFePO4. It is only rated at 1C continuous, but for the last year and a half I've been using a 48V 10AH Ping and this one is 48V 20AH. I do like the BMS on the Ping with the LED's. The BMS on this battery is completely hidden within the heavy tube shrink wrap.
The battery took less than nine full days to arrive from Hong Kong to my door, shipped via DHL for USD $488.64 total. It arrived well wrapped and in good shape. It had a charge of 53.6V. The charger boosted it to 53.9 in about 5 minutes and then shut off.
On their specs page this battery was listed as weighing 4.8 Kgs which would be about 10.5 Lbs It actually weighs almost 14 Lbs. The dimensions were accurate and hopefully all other specifications are also accurate.
The charger, charging wire from the battery, and main controller wires from the battery all came with those standard 3 prong appliance connectors. They included an additional one to use on the mains to the controller. The plugs for the charger are reversed from the plugs for the power to help prevent accidents.
I'll wire it up and put it on the trike tomorrow. It'll take a while to break it in gently before reporting sag and capacity details.
