Tried these Lipos?

[wheelbender6]

These are designed to easily replace SLA bricks. Anybody tried them?

Those are not Lipos (Lithium Polymer), they are LiFePO4's a much safer chemistry.

They work good, I have one on my TDub and 1 on my Motoped. Gonna get another one for the Bonneville too.

What kind of charger are you using on them, Mike B? The website didn't mention them having a BMS, so I thought they may require a balancing charger.

I just use a regular lead acid charger, a "battery tender" made for MC batteries, 1 amp max.

They do have an internal BMS, it's mentioned in the spec's on the link you provided.
