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?

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?

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.
