Hi all. I’ve posted a few times as I was trying to work my way through a ‘cheap’ build but the more I read, it has become apparent the less I knew.
I had been building a 46" pintail cruiser. I had purchased almost all of my parts second hand (though new) but blew it thinking I could use some old 18650 batteries. Most were Samsung or LG but they suck. I tried using soldered battery sleds but during my first ‘real’ ride I had multiple failures. Kinda discouraging.
My goals are still 10-12 miles on a single charge with a weighted speed up to 25 mph. Can you all review this list and tell me if it looks ok? I’m struggling with the batteries most. Thanks…

Will these batteries do what I want (in series)? Or should I go with something else? How about this charger? Is it ok? I am ready to pull the trigger…
