EBay Batteries

[Craiggor 2]

Quick search on eBay for batteries and there are lots of these popping up. Don’t think I would trust them. Has anyone tried them.

You can get really good cheap batteries from Greenlance, a UK supplier. It'll come very quickly and you get proper customer care. It doesn't make sense to take a chance on those Ebay ones, which are probably recycled cells if they're too cheap.

If no one was buying them there would be fewer ads.. devious overpricing of garbage lulls too many into thinking its a real bargain too.

Perhaps if phones had kept to using easy user replaceable batteries re-wrap and fake battery awareness would be more prevalent? - its a conspiracy i tell ya..

How are they cheap? You can have 19.2Ah 48V 30A battery on Samsung cells from PSW for £192

Greenlance's 48v 20Ah has a 40A BMS and is currently £350 (400 full price). They are made in the UK, offer a 2 year warranty, and free battery recycling at the end of it's life.

Batteries are the one part you really don't want to have going wrong, always buy from a reputable company.

I didn't have any problems with PSW so far. Recycling battery is not a big problem, so I think my next battery will be from PSW. £158 difference is just to big to ignore.
I am not sure where you found information about Greenlance making batteries in UK, but I will take your word for that.

Cheaper because they are soft case packs with in most cases with no name or fake brand cells.
We have seen a few come unstuck with these type of packs and lucky if they last 6- 8 months before they fail.

I wonder how long two of those cheapos in parallel would last, if the controller was drawing 15A total/7.5A continuous from each.

I hope they arrive fully charged. I'm not sure I could wait nearly 6 years charging it at 2A before using it!

Greenlance nearly always offer a 10% discount on the listed prices. If you don't see a discount code, ring them up and beg for one. Tell them that a guy on the Pedelecs forum told you you should get oine. Maybe we can agree with them to get a forum discount, so if anybody rings them, suggest a PEDELECS10 code.

Thank u, my battery specs are a bit different World Power Li-ion 10.4ah / 36v using Samsung cells, I got it from Greenlance offer for the battery, but that means that I need to replace the whole thing as this battery that was offered the charging is 2 pin, but on the bike, the charging is 5 pin, also would anyone know do I need to get the battery programmed as well, as I heard some stories that someone had to go to service and program the battery with a computer for the motor?

You get a free charger with Greenlance batteries.

I don't know but Billyboya's saga with his pedal scooter is enough to put most off buying the cheapo ones, albeit his one came frorm AliExpress.

 

[Craiggor 2]

I suspect they will be selling like hot cakes to the food delivery guys. Expect to hear of more fires. I have never seen so many of this type on ebay.

As you know and may never ever forget, Billyboya bought a cheap AliExpress battery from the official Littokala store which claimed 30A (?) continuous discharge capability for his eRider moped...

I'm wondering whether two of these cheapo 36V 20Ah in parallel...

33.1￡ 67% OFF|2023 36V 20Ah 18650 Lithium Battery Pack 10S3P 20000mah 500W Same Port 42V Electric Scooter M365 Ebike Power Battery with BMS| | - AliExpress

...would operate safely and for longer than a few mere months @7.5A continuous discharge X 2 = 15A. The "20Ah" capacity stated is probably nonsense, but if about 15Ah each, that'd still be pretty cheap for 30Ah in total. I might try cheapos once I've assembled (I've got all the bits [there will be a diagram and photos etc. when I get around to it]) my Early-Warning-Of-Home-Ruination-by-Ebike-Battery-Fire-Preventerer™ ®© : Hear siren, chuck the soon to be flaming battery out of the window. Unsure what I'd do if they went inferno while on the bike though, other than run and record my bike burning from a safe distance for Youtube.
