My particular bike, (Salisbury LPX), has a 24 volt motor yet comes with a battery that states in huge lettering that it is 26 volts, (10.5amps).
- I remember on a thread started by forum member Sophie'sDad, that he measured the output of the Salisbury's battery as giving out 27 volts. First question; does anyone know how high a voltage the Salisbury controller can take without damage?
Second question, if I was to fit a non-original, 24volt battery of 20 amps, would the fact that it is kicking out 3 volts less, be noticeable in the bike's performance?
I'm asking because rather than buy a second standard battery to increase the bike's potential for when touring, I've been intrigued by eBay sales of the 24volt 20 amp LifePO4 batteries. There's one on eBay at the moment, (8 hours to go before closure and only at £65 so far with few bids, will post what it finally goes for).
For £200 I can get an additional original battery of 26 volt and 10.5 amps, (but in reality, a pleasing 27 volts).
- But what if I could get 24volt/20 amps battery off eBay for a similar price? Is it worth considering, or is all that shines not gold?
