No. If I'm right, Lithium ion can be a generic term for many lithium-based battery chemistries. The only lithium batteries allowed are LiPo and LiFePo4. You can get a 6 cell LiPo, that is almost 24v, the scooter motor won't suffer much. Also, though you can overvolt drill motors, they won't last nearly as long with a voltage that high, so 2ish volts less will make them last longer.
scooter motor will be fine at 24, as it meant to run at 24, I am toying if i can give it more volts (7s 8s) however finding a ESC which isn't too big easy.
Super expensive LiPo? Depends on what you want. For 6S you could use 2 of these 3S packs in series. That's about £20 for a powerpack.
Brushed ESC's for more than 6S , you're thinking heavyweight material then. Vyper and Victors come to mind.
Ok, thanks to all for the advice. I will most likely use either a) a 22.2v lipo battery or b) two of the Turnigy packs in series.
Ok, I'm about to buy a couple of the Turnigy packs that Maddox suggested; before I do, though, does anyone have a charger that they can recommend? Preferably not too expensive. Thanks!
Simple, no hassle and dependable charger. The imax B6AC
Thank you! That's about the price I'm looking for too, so will be purchasing one asap.
Thank you for that information Maddox, but that link doesn't work- however, I have looked around and I think I have found one of the chargers you were talking about. Would this be it, or if not, would it work for those batteries?
(Sorry for all the questions, I haven't had any experience with LiPos before and obviously don't want to waste any money :proud:)
Thats the one. price is acceptable. (HK price+ UK profit)
Thank you! Will purchase that asap.
