Thanks @gwhy! That's good to know. Can I ask a really dumb question? If I had two of these 50A peak batteries wired in parallel, would that pack be deliver the necessary 100A? http://lunacycle.com/batteries/packs/52v/52v-mighty-mini-cube-samsung-ebike-battery-pack-30q-6ah-3-pounds/ Also, do you know if the Oset controller/motor/etc can handle 52V? Thanks! --matt

Hi there forum readers and contributors, this is my first post, so please excuse my ignorance. I just joined after pouring over this thread and trying to figure out what my options are for converting a 2013 Oset 20.0 48V to Lithium batteries. I'm based in WA State, near Seattle, and I have a question about a turnkey product which I found http://www.electricrider.com/Lightweight-Lithium-Manganese-48V-10AH-Battery-p/lim4810-26.htm Would this work for the 20.0? From what I gather, this battery produces 50A peak / 30A cont. Would that be enough juice? Seems like all the talk here is around LiPo and LiFePo, but this is Lithium-Manganese, so are they a suitable alternative for this application? They say it's a weight/lifetime trade-off... I might be willing to make that, particularly if I need to go up to a 20ah configuration to get the output this bike needs (starts to get heavy....) The price of those units are also a bit higher than I would like, can anyone suggest a more affordable option here in the USA? Thanks!
