    Samsung - are we just paying for the name?

    Another name to watch out for is Sinowatt, I have seen no comparisons yet but could be another pretty good China manufacturer. Again they have a 2500mah 20a cell.

    AT some stage bike batteries may end up using China made factory cells or the lesser mediocre branded cells as the premium cells become less attractive or availability becomes even scarcer then they are which is non existent at the mo. For diy battery builders there are some pretty good China...

    What's the most 'universal' low-cost battery format?

    Yes when deciding on a particular battery esp 10/12/13s x 2P then the cell used needs to be checked out and that it can deliver the current. I made own drinks bottle battery 12s2p, I have used genuine LG hg2 25a 3000mah rated cells for my 20a max discharge. Theoretically though even at my low...

    Brakes rotors if catching can make a tick noise, spokes don't need to be loose to make a noise. Without a short film it is hard for anyone to come to any conclusion.

    What's the most 'universal' low-cost battery format?

    10ah typically should bet around 35miles but if only shorter rides then something smaller will suffice. For light one really wants 10 2p or 20 cells nut the cells need to be the best so cost then rears it's head.

    What's the most 'universal' low-cost battery format?

    Battery case designs come and go, nothing is very universal for too long. The silver fish battery design though has been around for a good dozen years, it is a behind the seat battery design but there is no reason one cant fit it elsewhere. The hailong for instance can be confusing there are...

    wear a helmet ,very lucky escape for myself .

    You flecc are a wise old owl and a voice or reason knowing your limitation's, through your self constraint one has made the rightful and correct decision and imposed this. Sadly other folk don't realise or admit it isn't safe for them to continue but still do so.
