Anyone re- celling old battery cases.

[fatts]

Hi all,
I have a powabyke lithium battery case. The water bottle style early one 36v 6 or 8 amp.
My question is does anyone re pack these on this forum or company anywhere so I could send it to get done.
many thanks in advance

Hi fatts,

The Electric Transport Shop offer a re cell service here http://www.electricbikesales.co.uk/shop/parts-spares/common-parts-spares/lithium-polymer-battery-recell-packs/prod_704.html

e.g. they will re cell an eZee battery with 36v 10Ah Li Po for £350 and give a 1 year warranty if you send/take the old battery and give a 1 year warranty.

Cyclezee sell a new eZee 36v 11Ah battery with Sony V3 18650 cells and 2 year warranty for £350

You could ask D8veh, he would probably do it for a fiver at the most

Looks like he's reached 10,000 posts and got stuck:

Maybe he declared. 10,000 isn't a bad score.

I can help i have a spot welder. Do you already have cells?

 

[cwah]

If you buy 18650 cells for you and help me with shipping cost I can spot weld + add bms to your pack

We looked into this with that style of Powabyke battery a year or so ago, but just couldn't find replacement cells at a price that made it worthwhile.

I like these old bike with massive battery case, and I bought one with empty cases.

With new 18650 cells you can double capacity and put a bigger motor on it.

@cwah: I think he has the early 36V 6AH aluminium water bottle.
Like this one:

It would be easier to replace the old bottle with a new one.

Be careful - if trex is correct about which bike op has then some brushed motors and some brushless. I think they changed over in 2011 from memory

I mention only as , if it's a brushed one, then you need a pack capable of giving a constant 20a as brushed pull more amps

At least that's my understanding.

ouch, that is old. Better replacing completely the battery pack and motor all together..

 

[fatts]

Thank you all for your comments I shall look for a replacement

That motor looks too small for the brushed one.

True - but it isn't op bike, just a stock photo grabbed off interweb
