All;
My bad, should've put the numbers for the packs up earlier.
I'll put them here, then with a couple pics and full numbers in a photo upload.
Tom is correct they are the same packs.
They are used, but fully tested and comes with an energy rating on a tested sticker print out. This is mandated by our company.
I usually try to send them out as paired as possible. i.e. 90% with like or 111% with like. The packs are nominally rated at 18Vdc 1300mAh. and they are sub-c in size; packed in a 5x3 configuration.
ea pk weighs 27oz (765 gm) with dems of L=8.5in(260cm) W= 2.750in(84cm) H=1in(31cm)
As for energy available I have drawn 10A continous , measured using a watts-up meter as well.
My main reasoning for going with these, is beside the fact I get them pretty much free, is the ability to draw these down twice as much as an SLA, still have power left and the batteries will come right back up.
On our daughter's e-bike 4 12Vx18Ahr batts weigh in at 80lbs total and I had her make sure to not draw them down past the 30% mark or middle (yellow) part of her meter.
With the pack I built up, using these, I split them into 12V set due to hers being 48V, this gave me 12V packs at 18 oz ( 511 gm) yet still at 1300mA. I then wired them into packs of 12 for ~16Ahr and then into 48V, that's only 48 packs and they fit very well into the area for the SLAs.
weight comes in (including tin that replaced 18ga wire) 50lbs. and back saving:)
The e-bike now can go right up to 45kph and the people at the Missouri Botanical gardens ( where she does volntr work) thinks it's great.
Cost to charge last time I borrowed a kill-o-watt if plugged into mains was 25 pennies for a full week of daily riding /charging. Saving for not having her on CAR insurance is full tilt $$$ :-)
Hope this helps.
SnowCrow: Understood on the holding off, to get these into a working set, needs to be well thought out and planned.
Zap, that currie is a heck of a find!! at 24Vdc the saddle pack on the back could hold several easily and be lighter too.
For a great wrtie up on how to best re-do these packs, have a look at Norm's posts he's the guru on redoing these packs.
Sorry for the long post.
BUT,Hope this helps
