My battery arrived today
Still waiting on the SmartPie... EMS is so much slower than DHL.
One thing I do like about lead acid is that it starts to slow down when it drains low, with Lipo or equivalent, you run strong until it just quits. But then I don't have a BMS or even a 48v throttle. I run 48v Lead with a 36v throttle (so it always says I have a charge until I'm too late)
I also like baing able to use any dumb charger to charge my batts, don't have to worrie about over voltage or special chargers. But that said, I am working on a Lipo pack because of the weight savings...
How much does your contraption weigh. My new battery tips the scale at 3945 grams. I'm guessing LiPo is even lighter.
