Looking for an advice to buy a new battery for my el. bike

[Nelka333]

Hi everyone,

This site is amazing! I wish I have seem it when I have purchased my Izip Skyline 5 years ago to give me more understanding and guidance. I absolutely love my bike and use it every single day to commute to work. My battery (24V/36V 5ah Li-ion) is coming the the end of life - at least I think that is the problem. When I ride the battery keeps dropping by half and the motor keeps turning on and off and then for a minute or so it works fine. I think it may be due to not having enough power.
Please can anyone advise me on what to do - to redo the battery or purchase a new one? If so where can I buy one? Could I go for one with more power and longer lasting someone like 36v 10ah? I'm not sure whether it is compatible with the motor of if it matters. I really appreciate all your help! Best wishes. Nela

Thank you so much! Do you think I could go for the one LifePO4? It says it is heavier but longer lasting.[/QUOTE]

i cant see why not just ask when you contact them, they will also re cell the batt if you wanted that option.

Thanks! I have contacted the company I have bought the bike from but they says li-ion battery cannot be re-celled. Thanks very much anyway!

Sw is correct,contact Insat who specialise in recelling batteries. They can make you a better one than your old one, more range etc.

That is impressive! Is it better than the other type though? I think they call it LifePO4

it depends what cells you build the batt from some have more power than others and thus costs more per cell.

they can be as little as 2 quid each or 15 quid depending on make and power output.

cheap ones tend to get hot fast under load and not last that long which is not a good idea for a ebike batt.

my bosch batt has 2 year warranty but a 500w cost 700 quid.

Waw! That was the price of my whole bike! Thanks for explaining it. So lithium batteries are not too good then. What are the other ones?

there li-ion cells 18650 and the best we got so far technology wise just some are better that others depending what you use them for.
