Thanks Indalo, I will keep you informed! All the best David

Hi Eddie The cheaper batteries are 36V 10Ah, or 360Wh. All the best David

Thanks Dave, but I think you misunderstand our business model. I wish we did work on big margins! The few batteries Wisper or the entire UK market will purchase in the next few years will not effect the price at all, these cheap batteries are being driven by the Chinese home market where...

Hi Scatty, we can of course supply cheap 360Wh batteries as can everyone else, maybe you are correct and we should give this some consideration. There are so many Asian suppliers desperate to sell them that we get several offers every day of the week. These batteries are the standard now for...

;) No problems Scatty! I love a good laugh too! I dont expect anyone to want a battery that will move the bike for 200 to 300 miles on a single charge. I am simply reporting that this tech is going to be available soon. I do think these batteries will be sold on electric bikes in the...

Hi Karl, thanks for that, no I hadn't come across this article before. Professor Ward believes the new material could replace the liquid electrolytes currently used in rechargeable lithium cells. Furthermore, the gel can be made into a thin, flexible film via a fully automated process that is...

The thread seems to be fine to me David, we were all simply explaining why some batteries cost £150 and others cost £650, and that a £500 investment in a decent battery can be less expensive in the long run than paying £250 for a cheaper offering. Your friends would be amazed that a new...

No no no no, I meant you were "bang on" or "on the money" or perfectly correct, I didn't mean to say you were banging on!! I do that!!!! :o All the best buddy! David

Bang on as usual Andrew, the quality and price of a battery is not simply cell related, We too have recently been let down by a fuse case holder, and have spent £1000,s on sorting it out, but that was probably our fault as we tweaked up the power output quite considerably, any way all sorted now...

Thanks Indalo, that is very kind of you! Watch this space, you never know!!! ;) Hi David, some you win, some you lose, I am sorry you did not chose a Wisper, but I do agree Andrew's new bike does look good. You will be pleased to know however our batteries now have a greater capacity...

Hi Piotrmacheta I was there only yesterday, we have been working with Oxis for about 18 months and will be using their batteries in our bikes in the not too distant future. They are not cheap though!! :eek: What a great place to work! All the best David

Hi David and everyone on the thread, I would normally have been involved earlier but I have been extremely busy of late. Firstly let me assure everyone that Eddie did pay for his DaaHub, he has also been MASSIVELY helpful and kind hearted in helping is to sort out quite a few teething...

Hi Andy, thanks for your post, if you are not familiar with lithium batteries please do not attempt to take it apart, there are massive amounts of charge in there and opening the case can be dangerous. Regarding your recent battery experiences, I would suggest that something is going wrong...

Hi Mick We will not be using this new Tech to increase range on our 2013/14 bikes, we will simply be reducing the size and weight of the battery whilst retaining a 500Wh capacity, we may even reduct to 36V 10A or a 360Wh capacity, this way we believe we can get our bike weight down to under...

Thanks Mark, service of course does have to be paid for and is in the price of anything, anyone buys. I also agree 100% with D8veh, as there are certainly more factors to price than the cost of components. I do maintain though that more expensive and higher quality components will also have a...

Hi Eagle Rider, thanks for your comments! Yes it is very exciting, we can stretch to 100 miles on our current battery (perfect conditions) we are expecting to break the 200 mark with this one. The really exciting thing is this is a British firm! We are currently developing our 2013 range...

There are a wide variety of LiFePo4 batteries available, as there are all other Lithium batteries the quality varies massively as does the power available, the length of time the peak power is available and the longevity of the battery itself. The price of a battery is directly related to it's...

Hi Andy, I am off to China next week and will try and arrange a couple of 44's for you. Do the bikes have the new hollow-tech bottom brackets? Best regards David

Thanks z0mb13e, delighted to hear all's going well, I bet it was freezing today!
