Do you think it is to do with finding a supplier or even that they have stocks of the LiMn-ion batteries (or tied into a contract to buy them)? Could be a number of things I suppose. I notice doing a websearch on LiFePO4 comes up with a number of suppliers for batteries specifically for ebikes (from the USA) and six months ago there were none. Perhaps they are just taking off. I suppose there are those like me who need a new battery now and are fed up with the LiMn batteries but don't want to go out and buy a NiMH only to find that technology moves on in a few months. Sorry maybe this thread shouldn't be in the FAQ section as it seems a good topic for general discussion.
