Electric Bike Kits

[torrent99]

don´t know which brand is used in that bike..

but for A123 we can already say from praxis (and not only theorie):
1050 cycles at 10C discharge, 3C charge
(more than you will ever have in e-bike use)

over 700 cycles sofar and still going at 12C average discharge and peaks in the 30C range, 4c charging

for e-bike-use with BMS it should be possible to get over 1000cycles for sure because the treatment of the cells is much softer and harmless

(A123 speaks from ~5000 cylces at 1C useage which comes close to a proper e-bike-battery)

Just to point out... A123 batteries are pretty much only to be found in Dewalt 36V power tool batteries....they are very much in the advanced DIY arena as you'll have to make up a battery pack, find a BMS etc. etc.

And A123s are differently built compared to other LiFEPO4s like Ping batteries. Their cheif advantage being their ability to deliver large currents (30C means 30x their AmpHour rating, compared to 1-2C for Ping batteries). This is not to knock Ping batteries (or A123) just point out the difference.

However, as KB says A123s get VERY VERY good marks from the experts at Endless-Sphere (and so do Pings).
