How To Add A Shockley LiFePO4 Battery To An Ezip or Izip

[CrazFilmz]

did you have to change the controller?

Is it really that hard to make a how to VIDEO? GEEZ!!!

Get a 36v10ah from Ping and you can fit it in the stock battery box (looks MUCH better). Only $250!

Are you sure these are lifepo4? The pic at 1:38 looks like li-po cells

Where can you get this battery? I'd love to try the DeWalt idea - plus I know where I can get one of those!

I just bought one of these Currie bikes and was wondering why you use the K&N filter over the motor - dust problems with the motor?

Thanks

Wow, someone else asked the exact same question as me. Maybe I'm on the right track. The Dewalt battery is about $169.00 not including the charger.

From what I've seen, this battery is hard to get, has to be ordered from China, and is very expensive. Looks out of reach of most. Would I be able to use a Dewalt 36v battery pack and simply attach the pos and neg outputs to the two unused battery terminals on the Currie? The Dewalt pack is also lithium-ion cells and advertises 2000 charges and no charge memory problems. And weighs 2.4 lbs. Do you think this would work?

What do you think about using a Dewalt 36v battery? Only 2.4 lbs., 2000 charges. My bike only has one battery and I could hook it to the unused battery connector on other side. Cost's more than a matching Currie battery but the Currie battery weighs at least 18 lbs. and is a lead acid, which has a shorter life.

The Dewalt a123 batteries are awesome but are very low ah so they don't last long. That is why you see people with 8 of them hooked up to there bike.

The Dewalt batteries will run powerful, high torque power tools for quite some time and it looks like those duties would equal a few miles on an electric bike. Maybe one battery would power a bike about as long as the lead acid batteries that come on a Currie bike, which are good for maybe 10 miles. But then, I wouldn't want to spend $200 or more to find out.

Can you please link me a site where i can get another battery that would fit on the rack. And i wanna know if it comes with the Currie electro drive removable case. Thx

See my other video on how to keep the motor cool when running it at 36v.

Correction on instructions:

Use 10AWG multi strand wires not 20AWG.
