How much money are you happy to spend, how far do you plan to travel, how fast do you want to go and what controller are you using?

 

[TOYIKO]

I spend 600 U.S. dollars
Fast as much as possible
The controller comes with the kit goldenmotor, 1000watt 48 volts

It seems to be the general answer but in your specific case..... ping LifePo4, 48v 20AH of the new 4AH per cell variety. If you don't want to go very far i suppose you could hack together some power tools batteries but really.... get a ping. BTW ping is an ebay seller of Lifepo4 batteries and can be reached directly at pingping227@hotmail.com. If you lookup Ping in the search box, you will see a few massive threads detailing everything you could ever want to know about his batteries. Maybe someone should just make a sticky thread with a table of appropriate batteries for certain situations, citing suppliers and prices.

I am convinced you, try to buy batteries ping !!!!!

Thanks

I recommend you email Ping and ask him for a price.

Do not waste your time with Ebay.

K2 is tested

Check out the data

fechter says it best
1 test > 1000 opinions

If anyone knows where to find some independant test of pring let me know. I would like to see.

you should contact joshua and see if you can join the group buy of the headway battery packs. the 48V20Ah pack was $630 the last i looked, and they are getting chargers too.
the trick with that deal is that they are shipping everything to toronto in a container to save on freight, i don't think it would help you much in spain. but it might be cheaper, and maybe it could be shipped surface freight to spain, so you could save overall on freight.
you could contact victoria at headway and ask her also for a quote, with airfreight being much of the cost of the battery, just like the other stuff from china.

If that link works, it points to one of Ping's batteries that is the right voltage and sold for within your budget. It is probably the smallest (16AH) battery you would want with a 1000W bike kit. This is about the price Ping would charge to make a custom battery so you can ask him and he will make a battery of the size you want. The link is for a battery already sold to give you an idea of the prices.

That's cool that Ping gives a free charger with his batteries.

 

[Microbatman]

Still looking for some ping data
I think that many of the memebers here are smart enough not to buy a product based on the fact that they get something free when they buyt it. When I here something like this it actually raises a red flag.

I also noticed that all of the chargers offered by ping are in 12 volt multiples
Translation may not be LiFePO4 type may be left over SLA chemistry type.

Hre is a link to a not so powerful LiFePO4 charger that take hours to charge your batteries

Here is a charger with some power Mastech hy5020E
That takes minutes to charge

has anyone else bot a battery pack from this guy? is this the guy who was scamming ping's name or just more people getting into the battery business? seems cheap, but so was ping at first. what about the BMS? i see he includes a battery charger too, and free shipping. no feedback on batteries, just vacuum tubes and amplifiers. top end.

does anyone know if the microsoft 'live search ebay cashback' program can be initiated for an individual ebay seller?

has anyone been able to use it? is it possible to use here? can we ask to seller to prod ebay into making them a cashback qualified seller?
