battery + kit compatibility

Will a 10ah, 48v ebike battery work with a 48v 1000w ebike motor kit?

 

[Woosh]

it will work but you will also shorten the life of the battery.

Depends on the quality of the cells contained within the pack. Top quality cells, such as Samsung 30Q's, will provide the power needed and last a long time.

Generic Chinese cells, well, don't say we didn't warn you

Not all 10Ah 48v batteries are equal. Only certain ones can work that motor. If you're unsure post links so that we can give precise comments.

Ok

What if it is like 36v 10AH DURAB battery with a 36v 500 w motor?

Any shortening issues?

What would you recommend?

That one is 36v, so it won't work with your 48v kit. i guess you mean this one:

it doesn't mention branded cells and the max discharge is 30A or less. It sounds like you'll be pushing it a bit hard with a 100w kit, which normally pull 25A continuous, while as that battery is rated at 15 amps continuous. You'd be better off looking at the Eclipse bike batteries with branded cells, like Samsung 30Q

12 Ah will get you about 15 miles if you use the power, so you might want to think about this one:

I'm glad I found this thread, I'm planning to build a Fat Bike and have been pricing the components for either a 1000W or 1500W hub kit.

I'm quickly realising that the deciding factor is the battery!

To keep the build neat I would really prefer a bottle battery over a rear rack mounted battery but getting a 48v battery with the continuous amps required to deliver 1500W is proving difficult.....and expensive.

I may just go for the 1000W option instead!
