I have done a few conversions and serviced e-bikes

[alrescycle]

Mostly Cytronex conversions, one Bafang (I am only going to ride it off road honest) and I have just finished setting up a used trike which had a Dillenger Street Legal kit fitted for a disabled client.

I was Alresford Mobile Cycle Repairs for 8 years. Lovely time during the pandemic. Serviced over 1,000 bicycles. Bought, serviced and resold several second hand bikes. Run the occassional cycle jumble and auction.

I retired towards the end of last year but I keep my hand in on friends, a few lovely previous clients and helping out two local charities when they have bike and mobility scooter things to be done.

A bigger battery cannot possibly harm your bike. It is just the fuel tank.

The bigger you go, the less the battery quality matters, but don't be tempted by the cheapest sellers. Use a supplier with a reputation. For example, Yosepower, Greenlance get good mentions here. There will be others.

Post details of the motor and existing battery if you want more detailed device.

Be aware that although the batteries look the same, there are different mounting plates and connectors. That shouldn't be too much of a problem for you because you have a separate controller, but you might get the problem that the plate mounting holes don't line up with your frame rivnuts so you have to drill and insert more of them.

10Ah is pretty small. You'll really see a difference by going to 15, 17.5 or even 20Ah.

whoops: forgot to post ~ mostly been said now

You should be able to replace it with a hailong 36v and much larger amps.
Beware, there are several Hailong connection pin arrangements (round or flat, and number of pins).,
if you want direct battery replacement make sure you get an exact replacement.
A larger capacity battery may have a slightly taller case. Check the height and that there will be room to fit it
