Maytech is generally pretty solid but that battery is shit.
The cells they use are Panasonic ncr18650bd which only have a discharge rating of 10A. Aliexpress sellers notoriously misspec their batteries. I wouldnât buy from there.
Your total batteryâs discharge capability is the individual cell types discharge rating times the number of parallel groups in your battery pack.
For the vesc/esc switch. The cheapest, easiest, and most reliable method used is an XT90-S loop key.
Hey Niklas-
I bumped your account a level so you can add links and pictures now. Feel free to edit your post and weâll try to help you out.
Welcome!
@Venom121212
So ill grab my self a XT90S loop key from ebay etc. and connect it to the ground rail in series. Why cant it be XT60? What connector would you recommend for Battery/ESC Connection. Also, do you know a better alternative for the battery? I see that 30A Max is low⌠i am really struggling finding affordable batteries⌠And i fear building one my self. There are these: https://www.nkon.nl/de/vruzend-diy-battery-kit-3765.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwybD0BRDyARIsACyS8mv7_vI3mMiTDBUYKXC2n7XHbQ5-3ZeK9_K3ohDh7FmFZNEarUBy3ngaAiUIEALw_wcB
I know the basics of battery build process, but i dont trust my self enough to connect a BMS to it etc⌠I would like to have that already done to make the build simpler.
So please anyone give me your choices for a 36V ~10Ah Battery.
Also, i dont know if the trucks will fit my boards holes. I would dismount my default trucks but i dont know if the holes are matching for the new truck. Sadly i couldnt find info on the measurements of the truck holes. Is that always the same for longboard trucks? Also in the description on aliexpress they say its for a 9-10 inch boardâŚbut mine is 90cm or 35inch. Will it work fine anyways?
Thanks for your help! Awesome how nice you guys are 
so if i got you right - acido builds batteries? Would be awesome! But i dont know if i can pay enough for that quality 
yes he does, just send him a pm, his prices are very decent
@BillGordon can you bump this guy so he can link and pm ? 
edit: oops allready happened, damn youre fast 
Do you know about the trucks? Are they normed for longboards or do i have to watch out if it ll fit my deck (Madrid Longboard)
The xt60 connector carries 60A safely
The xt90 connector carries 90A safely
The XT90-S connector carries 90A safely and has a built in resistor connection to eliminate spark when you connect it.
If you used a plain xt60 or xt90, every time you plugged your board in, you would hear a pop, see a small spark, and damage your battery a bit.
As for the truck mounting holes, most boards use either old school or new school layout:
Going for a skate, be back to answer in a bit unless someone else takes the reigns first.
Thanks for the mention 
You mean ATC? So between $50 and $120? @akhlut might be able to throw something simple together for you for <$120, but I donât know of any other options.
Another $120 option though is the lacroix mounts. Nicer looking (imo) than the more expensive EBS mounts. Everything else is super fancy and >$200.
the kit is recommended for 9-10 inchâŚi got 35 inches, do you think thats okay?
Heres the link
Thanks!
Will be off for some time riding my unmotorized ( ) longboard
The 9-10 inch deck measurement theyâre talking about is deck width, not length.
Iâm assuming you donât have a 35" wide deck, you mean length
Haha yeah, thank you so much!
No problem man. Welcome to esk8!
If you have time, pop by and introduce yourself here:
Do you know where I can get a matching battery indicator for the VESC? Or should I buy that for the battery separately? Do you know a good 42V Charger (i need 42V for 36V batteries right?)? Though I donât know what battery Iâll get so I donât know the max charging current. But a battery charge indicator would be great!
All of the answers to these questions are already here. People respond best to those who use search and read up as well as ask questions. You also need to read a certain amount to be elevated to the next trust level here, and Iâm sure you will want to do that.
Cool to see your enthusiasm, though. So great to see fresh blood coming in here every day.
Any battery indicator that has an acceptable voltage range (0-50V is a common one) will work.
If you get a battery maker to make you one, you can ask them to include a connector for a battery meter.
If you know how to work with batteries safely and solder, you just wire the voltmeter in parallel.
Do a bit of searching around, thereâs a looot of helpful info here.
Uhm⌠I texted the battery builder guy and now I canât find our chat dialogue⌠On the messages bar thereâs only conversations with people who answered me and this thread here. Do you know what I am overlooking?
Click your avatar, then click the larger avatar that appears, then youâll see âmessagesâ on the toolbar. Then select âsentâ from the dropdown.
Welcome @Niklas!
itâs pretty hard to do anything wrong here 
We have many german residents that could also help you out 
@xsynatic @Mainflow @Creavenger @Benjo are a few of them 
Also since you are new, we made a few threads that could really help you with building an esk8, especially since it all seems a bit complicated at the beginning with different Vesc and battery cells, battery chemistry, boards etcâŚ
So if you donât mind, have a look at some of these 
Thats a lot of reading already haha.
I also want to note that 500 is very low and to build something good at that price is really hard when ââChina Boardsââ like Exway (pun intended) make amazing boards for the price.
May i ask how much range you want and what wheels you would like?
