Looking at going to a123's in the new ripper, so selling all my spare nicads

As the title says ..

3 x 24v nicads really good condition.

£150

Knew you would change eventually :-D

Only because I'm building a new one :-)

I would have just bought a set of lipo at the same price. Better discharge too

You'd struggle to get 3 decent 6s for that price. By the way Gary, would you recomend the lipos you used in Boner for a hw or I the true discharge not enough?

Long term, I would like A123s, but these will do nicely to get me up and running.

I checked prices quite carefully before committing, and this solves how to get 72v out of the max permitted number of LiPo or LiFe cells. How else am I gonna over-volt my 10hp motor? eh? EH?

*face palm* You can only use 30 nicad cells in series max. This results in 36v (1.2v per cell)

Don't even think about mixing battery types either to get more voltage!!!! A bunch of used nicads will get hammered if put in series with lipo.

You can't get 72v using the cell numbers you are allowed to use

Easy with the optipower discount to get lipo at that cost. I wouldn't bother with the turnigy nano tech. They can't deliver what they promise (as ever)
