I went to the bike store to buy a larger chain ring for one of my rhino bikes. They introduced me to a guy who had a $2500 hub motor bike with lithium ion batteries. He told me he could ride the bike four hours before he needed to recharge. I didn't tell him that I didn't believe him, I just asked how many amp hours the batteries were rated. He didn't have a clue. He said that the batteries discharged in watts as if he could measure the watts in the battery lol.
I'm not even sure he knew the volts. He did say one thing that would make me believe the batteries were better. he said the drain was constant. If that is true, then the batteries could last longer since they would be usable at the lower voltage after the drain begins. My sla batteries performance goes down as the voltage drops which happens pretty quickly. Even though they only drop a couple of volts the performance is so bad I am looking for a place to recharge them.
Does anybody know where I could find a range test comparison between lithium and sla batteries. I would like to see where someone actually tested the batteries side by side.
