Hi cannonball2!

Really sending Lipo batteries on planes? Wow big mistake, they are known to explode and catch fire. Have you contacted that seller explaining things? Maybe the seller doesn't understand the danger.

I am sure they were aware but its what it took to conduct business. There was a way to send them I believe at the time with a hazmat charge. That almost doubled the cost of the product. To send them surface would have taken so long that international buyers would not purchase. So they just put them in a box and sent them as whatever non-hazmat R/C part they wanted. I don't remember seeing even a customs declaration. Things should be better now as most of these sellers have USA warehouses, and the batteries ship via ground.

Still bet the ones shipped from suppliers shipping directly across the Pacific are riding at 38,000 ft.

Let us know how that turns out. I wouldn't be surprised if you never get it and I wouldn't expect much if you do. But you never know it might be a good deal. I am probably going to go with BMS BATTERY.COM for my next battery. My 48v16ah I got from conhis motors is still working good but the one just like it I got off ebay died on the guy I sold it to. The main thing is to make sure it can handle the amount of cont. current required because if not it will die quick because most people only know one speed - WOT

It seems to work great. My first run I got 14.8 miles which is about the same as my lipo 4 battery. Only time will tell.

Here is a picture with my GM lipo4 on the rear and my silver fish oin the frame. I made a handmade cover for it that serves its purpose. I need a three way switch so I can change from one battery to the other. Help from you guys please.

That's an amazing price for that battery, great find Ace please tell more. How much was shipping? How long did it take to get? Did you get the up or down port and did it come with a rail mount or any type of power receiver plug? Thanks in advance ~BF

More info on the battery. The total cost with shipping was $235.00 It took about 10 days to get. It comes with a mounting strip and charger. It did not come with a plug to go from the battery to the bike. I opened the case and bypassed the plug. It appears to be good quality. I can tell a little less torque than my Golden Bike lipo4 battery but not much. I have both batteries on my bike and alternate the batteries. I am thinking of buying another one for an ebay kit to go on a cruiser.

I have a customer who buy 3pcs 48V,30Ah battery from us, and asking me to buy 3 1000w kits for him. How much you spend for the 1000w kit?
