I purchased this Tiger 24v electric scooter from EVs North West, with detachable seat and storage basket. It came with a 400watt motor which was later upgraded to 500watts after the original failed. The stock battery consisted of a pair of 10Ah UPS type sealed lead-acid batteries which delivered about 2-5 miles of range weighing ?25lbs?. It now has a Lithium-Ion pack which delivers 10 miles of range and weighs less than 10 lbs. I also experimented with a severly undersized battery pack consisting of Laptop 18650 cells, and an even shorter lived set of consumer AA NiMH cells. The current LGQ pack is properly sized and appears to be working very will, a test cell from this set now has some 180 cycles and still delivers 90% of it's original capacity.

Lead Acid Pack

The scooter was origonally equipt with a pair of 7.28 lb. 10Ah 12v batteries, similar to these: http://www.electricrider.com/batteries.htm

Milwaukee V28 Pack

7 * 3.0Ah cells in series, 2.33lbs - 37.3oz. They should deliver 40A through the stock BMS and perhaps up to or over 100A if bypassed.

LGQ Pack

Keep in mind that the Lithium packs do series/parallel switching from 12 to 24v to accomidate charging at 12v (4 series cells). However they are driven at 24v (8 series cells). As such the charging numbers should be divided in half for their proper 24v capacity...

I Believe that this is the same battery used in an old Motorola Timeport Cellphone that I purchased Dec. 7 2000. This phone was used for about 9 months durring which time it went for a swim in a lake, shorting out and overheating, but it did continue to work. It sat unused for about 2 years. (See the photos on the right side) Now, Oct. 2004, being some 3 years old I'm cycling it to see how it compaires to the above cells...
