Oset 16 36V - In series 18v Batteries or other options

[skippydave]

Hi All,

Im looking for help for Oset 16 Lithium battery options.  In Australia I am having a very difficult time getting my hands on a lithium battery for the Oset16.  I have spoken to the Oset importer (under triumph now) and they had no idea what I was talking about which is a little concerning.

But I have seen several posts of people wiring 18v drill batteries in series and having great success.  I thought I would reach out to this forum and see if anyone can give advice about this being successful or not and what sort of range to expect.  I can get more lead acid batteries but I was hoping to get something lithium for extended range so he can at least ride a full trial.  Thanks in advance

Dave
