Hi, I recently purchased an HD and I'm looking for the best options for a battery to use with it.
I'll be using it more on road, but off road as well.
There will be a lot of hills involved.
I'm opting for 52v
I'm in the UK, so the Luna Cycle batteries aren't an option unfortunately, but I'm in contact with someone locally who sells/builds ebike batteries. They have recommended higher amp-hour NMC chemistry (25Ah) or Boston Power cells, although lower capacity Samsung cells are also an option.
The battery seller is of the opinion that the higher amp-hour battery is more suitable for a high wattage motor. And that, when a battery ages, its capacity reduces and if you start with a fairly low amp-hour battery then it is useless as its runtime is greatly reduced. However, with a larger capacity battery, even with a reduced capacity, it would still have usable amount of capacity with a decent runtime.
But I have read that 25Ah is overkill and could reduce life cycle.
Obviously that's contradictory to what the battery maker is saying, but I'm new to all this & I don't have experience with EBike batteries, so I'm looking for some sage advice, please.
