since i can not afford lithium my next bike will be powered by
sealed lead acid most likely AGM.
i will have a 48 volt system with a parallel/series setup for about
a 7kwh system. i'm using a Zivan NG1 right now for my current bike
but those are floodies, i've heard that Zivans tends to cook sealed
lead acids.
I think (warning, warning) that I read someplace where Zivan could
change the charge algorithm depending on what battery technology you
where using?
I've only had my PowerMate for a few weeks and only three or four
change cycles on it before I toasted my Etek. Haven't put the new
one in yet so I can't really say if the PowerMate is doing a grand
job or killing my Yellow Tops yet.
