Ours is a 4AH Lithium Iron Phosphate - using 5c rated prismatic cells (x 12) to give up to 20A discharge. Looks like the ping battery with blue heatshrink and includes BMS. Will take and post a picture - but fits perfectly in brompton rear pocket.
Intriguing. LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) prismatic "pouch" cells normally deliver 3.2V per unit, so a 12S pack would provide the required 38.4V nominal voltage for a typical 36V pack, and based on what you are saying each cell has a capacity of 4Ah (unusual, as I've only seen 5Ah and 10Ah cells). My Li Ping cells measure 150x105mm (and about 6.25mm thick), for a 5Ah battery (12S) the whole pack is 75mm deep. My 10Ah (2P12S) battery is 150mm deep.

So I'm looking forward to seeing photos of your battery in the rear pocket of the Brompton luggage :) Any idea of the price, and where to source it from ?
