Questions about details between hailong, ouxi, and Reention

[dutchlincoln]

Hello,

I have 2 E-footbikes which i want to upgrade.
I've been reading about baserunner controllers in the base of the battery holder that are compatible with hailong and Reention.
Today, i had contact with a ouxi dealer (fatbike V8, V20 etc.) that stated that hailong and ouxi were identical.
So, i bought 4 batteries, and just to be sure, 4 brackets for them as well.

You guess: battery wont swap out.

Both are 4 pin, they look the same, but are different enough to not fit.
Pins of the ouxi are more beefy, so thats good. Spacing is a tad wider so it wont fit. But: the plug is mounted to the back, where hailong comes from below (mounted on the controller, sticking through th ehole where the battery clicks on.

Below some pictures.

I testfit my chinese hailong controller, and nonono, it just doesnt fit, as the part where the connector resides, is a tad longer and needed to be grinded down. Now, there is more than enough aluminum, but im afraid what it will do when i fit the baserunner...

Is anyone familiar with the ouxi base? is there a model that would fit the baserunner without modifications?

nobody?

nobody?

So you still trust the battery from the vendor that lied to you? Why would you buy a battery from a cheap ebike dealer?
I looked up the v8 you mentioned and the whole bike costs less than my last battery. The advice would be to buy 2 quality batteries where you know the exact cell type used, instead of 4 that have unkown generic cells and unknown build quality.

Well, thats your opinion. Its a bit harsh to say they lied, dont you think? They had no experience with it, and now (over my back, yes) they know.
I already bought them, so theres not much i can do about it anymore. Now, i just have to make the right decisions with the parts i have, right?
They are quite good actually to be haunest. Drove a battery today and it does well.
So, lets say they are not 16Ah as stated, but 13Ah, then it is still a good price for what i got. (150 euros still aint that silly then..) It strange coming from my mouth, but it doesnt always have to be 200% and goldplated...

About the bike: The ouxi is outrageously popular here, as good as every kid wants and has one.

Well, thats your opinion.

Not unreasonable, based on past experiences here.

So, this is what you're asking?

Is anyone familiar with the ouxi base? is there a model that would fit the baserunner without modifications?

Somebody with experience with ouxi will probably be along in a while hopefully. Where else have you checked?

They told you what you wanted to hear by stating something they didn’t even know, or even have experience with..."stated that hailong and ouxi were identical". If you think that's ethical, then you could probably make some stuff up yourself and sell your batteries at a huge profit, and be fine with it.

Gee...
Had too many lemons this morning?

Well, if someone makes a mistake, immediately accusing him of being a lyer is not my way of treating people, okay?

And no; this is not what i'm asking, read again.

Battery case standards aren't very standard anyway. Every silverfish battery I've ever bought has had a slightly different discharge plate, sometimes two discharge pins, sometimes four, and sometimes in different positive/negative order. Smart third party sellers have shipped multiple discharge plates to help, but ordering the replacement from the company that sold you the bike is the only guarantee. At least one company clearly added a little plastic bump and notch to prevent cheap third party replacements.

(Again) Copy/paste from your OP:

And no; this is not what i'm asking, read again.

So if that's not what you're asking: What are you asking?

If you are using Lithium-Ion batteries, the cells used and the manufacturer's integrity are pretty much the most important aspect - as that battery is the component most likely to kill you while also being the most opaque to the end purchaser. The advice to spend your money on a reputable battery is very much in your favour.

You, yourself, are telling us the vendor does not know what's true about the batteries you were sold. They are not as the vendor said. What else does the vendor not know - or know, but is not telling you?

I understand something about the reply you received didn't sound the way you like, but the advice is good - given what you have told us.

You want to keep them. I suggest you open the cases and lfind out who manufactured the cells. You may also find that the connectors are replaceable - that might be part of your solution to keep the batteries.

i will open up one, but not for now. First i want to go the ontroller route and replace it, see what i can achieve with my current setup. Also want to test the range, and im looking for a way to determine the Wh capacity of the pack.
