BBSHD Battery Choice

[wrob51]

Hi I currently installed the BBSHD with a 48v 10ah dolphin pack.. it is great, but I am looking to get more range out of it. I have read a lot about the 52v battery's that are now offered, I see that they add both power and range. My question is do I need to go to that for more range? what is meant by more power? Speed? if so, I am fine with the speed I am getting out of the 48v so would I just get a 48v with a higher Ah.. or is there benefits to going with a 52v battery?

I have searched the board and did not see a lot on this topic, so sorry up front if this was a topic in the past.

Thanks All.

You basically want more range, correct? The efficient way to go is to get another 48v Dolphin and carry two packs, using the same mount and charger.

Thank you, that is what I thought.. Just was not sure what the 52v would get me.. Carrying 2 batteries is deff something that seems like a good idea..

get a 52v 13.5AH dolphin battery, and charger, with the new Panasonic/Sanyo GA cell, you have the mount already. You will have one regular and one long hot battery! More acceleration and range. mucho mas! happy motoring.

I'm hoping that the folks at LC will come up with a 52V GC 11/13 ah rear rack. That way I can integrate my SharkPac into the mix to extend my range.
