I found this link on reddit (I linked to the comments because that’s where the instructions are) but the tldr is that I can buy twelve 5500mah 4s floureon batteries for $133 after taxes. This would be perfect for my Esk8 (albeit far more than I need) if these batteries are not garbage. Should I buy them? Do you guys have experience with floureon lipos?
And yes I know li-ion is a lot better but I can’t afford that and I don’t care all that much about the weight reduction.
I also have some, posted pics on my build thread
Have yet to test them, but they look promising for about $101.00 free shipping on aliexpress. They are 40C 8000mAh.
Didnt read, the text for bulk saving.
EDIT: holy CRAP. Thats good.
This is a sick deal,
2P 11000mAh, 3P 16500mAh, my ghod youll be riding for days with these.
UPDATE: they arrived a few weeks but i just got to test them. EVERY SINGLE CELL IS BALANCED. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. i can post proof if you guys want but i currently have 48 5500mah cells at 3.85 (+/- 0.01) volts sitting on my dinner table.
i’m figuring it out right now but im gonna split these between myself and a friend who is also building a board. Chances are we’re each gonna use half but if we have spares i’ll hit you up
They perform really well. The first ride I took with them I hut 10miles distance with max of 24mph on my setup. Had about 40-60% left (at 3.95v) on a 40c 3x3s 11.1v8000mAh lipos.
I have set them outside maybe for 5-6 days at a time in 80F weather in its kitchen lunchbox at full charge sometimes and haven’t seen a single performance flaw.
Charging is a pain as it takes about 30-45 minutes each from storage to full. But I think my charger is bad as it says 4.2v on the screen but my lipo Alarms say ~4.09-4.15v
