compatible batteries for Jorvik jet e

[Mee]

Hi, I bought a used Jorvik jet e, it came with no charger or keys. The battery is leaking and 3 yrs old, trike won't climb hills so thinking the battery nenes replacing.

I can't afford jorviks prices, and looking at compatibles, Varstrom look ok and good price, but looking at juries battery bar on lineI think the controller is in the bar. Do the compatibles come with a controller that will work with the Jorvik? Varstrom state it must be XT60 but I can't find any info on Jorvik specs.

Can anyone advise?
Thanks.

What's it look like? There are thousands of different 36v batteries. It can't be Samsung LG. They're two different brands. And they're the cells in the battery, the same as any battery.

I would stop using that leaking battery and safely dispose of it somehow ASAP, if I were you - this leaky battery burned it's owner to death in an elevator. This might not happen to your battery. WARNING! EXTREMELY HORRIBLY GRUESOME AND DISTRESSING SNUFF VIDEO! From the battery fires thread:

Jorvik quote Samsung LG as do may other companies, maybe they are different parts of the battery.
I can't get it off yet as don't have the keys so I don't know what the inner workings and connections look like. but outside is this.

One of my solar trailer batteries has exactly the same case, and it is a cheap generic Chinese thing.

So I would guess your trike is a generic, simple two wire system, in which case in the worst case any generic battery with the matching base they are supplied with can be substituted. You just need to mount the base and connect the big wires. Otherwise careful research may find a matching generic battery that just slots in.

The Samsung reference means the cells within the battery, and they are decent quality. Performance up hills and heavily laden will suffer with either poorer quality cells or a smaller battery.

With care you can probably destroy the lock with a big screwdriver to get started.
