new lithium ion 20 amp battery

[johnnyz]

Hi...just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with these cells..I currently use the headway 15 amp cells and these would offer an advantage in capacity and form factor.

Thanks

I've never tried, but if it helps all the rating and specifications looks perfectly right

5c lifepo4 does sound kind of nice, especially for applications that don't require the very lightest, very smallest battery. Trike, Zenn car, or something like that.

Ok...I was hoping someone had some experience with these cells...they def look good on paper, better than the headways Im currently using but proven??....not so sure yet

Just note they are 20 Ah (amp-hours, as in capacity), not 20 amp (as in discharge rate).

the prismatic cases require orthogonal compression on the large open faces or they will swell up as gases form inside. just like the CALB or GLB/winstons.

Yes....the headway batteries are 15 ah capacity and 5 c so these offer a capacity boost, if they are durable and have quality built in...
