Cool.
How long do you expect 10Ah to last?
I know lipo has better discharge capacity, so will do more than sla would.
How much do you think the setup has cost you? Pm me if you don't want to post it up.
A breakdown of the parts would be really useful too, as you'll know what works together.
I'm Skint at the moment. So won't be for a few months to be honest. I will do one eventually.

I paid £50 more for the SLAs and got them at a great price too.
You just have to really monitor them and balance them / charge them correctly.
Front sprocket, well - given the bike wont ever do more than 40+ off road - I got my friend who runs a garage to weld a 428 15t front pit sprocket to the little star sprocket.
Throttle isnt a issue either - they phase in with the controller and have a gradual feed - works fine with a brushed motor, brushless motors (like RC motors) are the ones where there are problems.. / gets complicated.
With the wiring,essentially if the wires run warm/hot then there too thin. You cant go wrong with too large gauge wire - I used 30a wire I think which is alot thicker than any other wires available tbh - wires havent ever been hot (so far) so no energy lost.
I'm no electrics guru at all, just thought it cant be that hard and started to give it a go.
I've learnt soooooo much tho since starting a couple of months back. You should give it a go - Hopefully I'll convince a couple of others toget going soon  |
