Well, its been two years now since the fire, and I'm finally going to buy a battery.
I really got tempted to go back to lifepo4, and get another pingbattery. But the low discharge rate, heavy, and large size still turns me off.
I came to the conclusion that what type does not matter all that much, since no e bike battery is ever going to enter my house or garage again. Storage is now in the old smoke damaged electric stove in the backyard, and the top of it makes a great charging table. So why do I need the extra cost and weight of lifepo4? No battery will ever burn my house again, that is for sure! Might get my van when I travel, but I have some ammo boxes for storage that should give me time to kick the damn thing out the door if I have to.
So my new battery will be a modest 12s 10 ah, of 6s turnigy packs. Nice and small and light, so I can run my off road bike again, and carry it in the rear rack box. Any heavier, and it would handle too shitty, so no ping for that ride. Old y frame, so no carrying it in the triangle.
Later on if I feel like it, I can bump the pack to 18s, and run that on my cruiser.
