Best Li-Fe battery I have seen so far

[ORGAN SPLITTER]

I will be ordering 2 of the 12 cell ballastics batteries next week sometime, They have a 3 year warranty too, I will let you know how they work.

 

[vitalikol]

Good info. Thanks everybody for input

ok i like the look of the ballistic evo battery but all this tech stuff makes my small brain hert . can these be charged with a optimate type charger ?

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Normal 2 amp charger for 15 min no higher than 14.4 volts is what my buddy that's a battery expert with these types of cells.

I can't wait to get mine

 

[harrypotter]

cool those type of chargers are pretty cheap anyway . judging by the stuff i read on there site i wont need to charge it on my x865 stock iginition . now to find out how much to get it to the uk .

 

[vitalikol]

Ordered one too. Will compliment my Trinity Evo Pro nicely

Fyi, my stuff still hasn't shipped, so I emailed Larry at TrackJunkie. He said Shorai is so busy filling orders that they hadn't gotten to his orders yet. He expects Shorai to get to his orders early next week.

Just got a fedex tracking number on my Shorai order... Supposed to be here next Thursday. You might still get yours before me though Matt just because you're on the west coast.

 

[Matt_E]

Where are they shipping from? :dunno:

 

[Waternut]

San Jose, CA... I think track junkie is in Texas so it must be a drop ship.

 

[Matt_E]

It will still take three days minimum to get to me. And I haven't got a tracking number yet.

 

[sicksxr07]

same boat here matt. still waiting on my tracking # for shipment . when did you order yours.

 

[Matt_E]

On May 6th.

 

[Matt_E]

Grrrr, still no tracking number. :soapbox:

 

[Aircraftsalz]

I'm still waiting for one also Ballistic 8 cell

 

[Matt_E]

Just got shipping notification. It should be here Thursday.

That's a pretty significant weight savings for the price. Just for clarification, the Ballistic will work with your stock charging system correct?

Yes it should work

 

[js4506]

Yes it should work

So stock ignition and ballistic battery should work good and it should even charge it? But you can also charge it with a regular 2 amp charger for 15 min at no higher than 14.4 volts. Is that the ballistic 8-cell or 12?

Yes, your stock charging system should charge it no problem.

According to their specs do not exceed 14.4 volts with any external charger.

BUT the 2 amps @ 15 minutes is very vague. It depends on how depleted the battery is to start off. If it is near fully charged it might not even take that long, if it is at 30% capacity it may require much longer (to bring up to 100% capacity).

The manufacturer should supply charging guidelines based upon the current state of charge (true resting voltage).
This is the starting point.

But they should also supply a table for each battery to specify charge times at different rates (2 amp, 5 amp, 10 amp, etc).

These batteries will be fine for our use as long as they have have good vibration/impact resistance.

I'll probably pick one up when my battery croaks.
