Electric Bike Battery Problems

[cyclebuddy]

@FinlayT, read this thread here. This member had the same 24v battery as you (they come in 24v and 36v). At that time, YosePower offered a new 24v battery pack for about £130, but this member decided that was still too much and decided to have his battery fixed for about £80. It's not a recommendation, but shows there are cheaper options that may work for you.

I've noticed on many forums that low capacity battery packs and 24V packs typically supplied with very low end ebikes can have a short life and be problematic even those that haven't had a dip in a local river or canal. They are put under so much extra stress because of the very high discharge rate expected from those cells even with the very low power hub motors that come on 20" wheel ebikes that maybe only around 180W rather than 250W they fail early with a lower amount of recharges maybe less than 250 charges sometimes. Like the Gtech battery bottles that are low capacity. I think the lower the number of cells in the battery pack the more critical the cell quality but in the marketplace many of the ultra cheap ebikes come with the worst cells in their small capacity battery packs.

This is typical of people posting about issues with bikes or batteries, we are never given the honest full picture to start with .
Why not say the battery was sunk in the canal in the first post before asking for help with a smoking one ?
Buy a new battery certainly don't trust the old one unless you are knowledgeable in how to inspect them. Rust and shorting of the electronics and the cells will be evident.
