Advice on e-conversion for a kid's kart

You should be looking for a battery capable of 25 -30a continuous.
Enerprof.de in Germany also has an ebay presence.
If you go the China route you will be hit by charges, duty, vat & courier handling fee.

This one uses top spec cells but check with the vendor first, from the specs I assume they are VTC5 25a rated cells. Though it doesn't mention a charger !!!

The devil is in the detail/specs of batteries and one really needs to look for top good cells and just simply not the brand name in it self as they all make very average cells and great cells the price is the difference along with the performance.

Thanks for tip, i checked out and this seems to be the most relevant. It's based on the Sony/Matura VTC6 cells, are they top notch? Price of €400 including a charger...what do you think? I did see the eBay link you also gave but it was without charger and the german guys look a bit more substantial an operation! Help welcome as always!

VTC6 is a top cell for current delivery. The Sony battery business was bought out by Murata years ago but Sony is still a partner, the reason why they are labelled Sony/Murata.
