I know it’s been said, but just so you understand how important it is — don’t buy anything from diyeboard. They have absolute shit products that will last almost as long as a stinky fart, and they have been banned from other places for posting customer’s credit card details online if I recall correctly.

Yes, they did that very thing. At one point in esk8, they did well because there were not enough vendor options for certain gear. Now that we have better options, there is nothing they have that you can’t find better elsewhere.

Any idea what cell they use in the 10 and 15 Mike versions. 125$ for a complete battery seems like a great deal
Well, safe to say they’re not manna like 30Q or trash like 20r. I think these are older stock, so I would guess 25r or something along those lines.

This is what metroboard said about these cells over in the bad place. I’m guessing they’re the same ones used in those shitty hoverboards.
Nice catch. A little lower someone shares, “I bought the “10 mile thin” 10S2P battery. It’s 4.4AH. The BMS is rated for 30A.” I think those are almost dead on Meepo’s standard battery pack but in a single stack form.
So it appears to be 20r, which means half of the 10 miles range will be in sag mode. Looking less enticing.

I emailed them asking what cells were used.
“Some use LG MH1 cells (3.2AH 10A/cell). Some use 2.2AH 8C cells.”
Guess you gotta figure the rest out based on AH rating. I think the 2.2AH are Samsung 22p

Thanks @b264 @BillGordon @Linny @BigZwatt for the advice. I lurk enough to know that I should be skeptical of these websites, but it’s good to double check.
Also, we need a list of reputable vs. non-reputable vendors or something. I know everyone has opinions on all that but still, I feel like we need one.

You’re right on the trusted vendor list. It exists, but we’re looking for ways to make it even better.
As for your needs, if you can give more details on your ride goals and current setup, you’ll get even better/more useful answers.

I’m definitely planning on getting a new enclosure, but what I get depends on what battery I get.
I’m looking for something that can push me around locally for the day. I never use much more than 15 miles any single time but I’d like to have 20 miles of range just in case.
I have just a deck that was laying around my house that I’m using right now, but it’s not that sturdy, so I’ll probably have to switch that out too.
Jeez at this point I should just make a new board.
Budget is keyyyyyyy. I’m a poor student. I don’t make money often, but when I do it’s never enough.
I’ve got some money to throw at it, but not a lot.
Also you don’t want to see the current enclosure situation. It shall make your eyes bleed.
here is a thread for trusted vendors

Now you’ve just entered BKB territory. This is, right now, the best deal in DIY:
Trusted vendor, great reviews, slam dunk.

I’m on their emailing list but I must have missed the email that announced it. Now I have to find $800.
Where did I put that emergency drug money?

So let’s back up a bit, then.
What’s your desired budget?
