hi yall!
Thinkin of buying extra battery.
What difference between a GM48v12ah, GM36v16ah and a PING48v15ah?
Which of them gives the most range? Which would you choose?
Cheers from a total battery noob
-
15Ah is more than 12Ah, the 36v 16ah has the same amount of cells as the 48v 12ah. but the 15ah ping has more W/h
-
ok so the ping would be my choice? But I like GMs factory battpacks, are the pingbattery well protected from moist and so on or do I have to customize it somehow?
-
GM packs are well protected and now have sealed charge connector and even heatshrink on the balance lead.
The case is really convenient, plus it has a switch already inbuilt and is portable as you can remove it from your bike to charge inside easily or when temperatures are at extremes.
I don't personally use Ping batteries, but I have heard nothing bad about them. They are not a super high power battery anway.
From what I've seen the pack is protected by tape and possibly cardboard... So I assume you would need to waterproof it and work out a way to mount it (in a bag etc.) and worry about charging leads and connections to your ebike...
Personal choice, but I would go with the 48v12Ah..
