Default lionev site change

It seems lionev has changed their pricing and their pricing page. It looks like they are selling only the individual 3.2 packs now but they include the not yet released Hot Juice battery management
They also seem to be quite a bit more expensive.

Default Re: lionev site change

thats a picture that TexomaEV posted on his flicker, its their own seperate testing of the cells and BMS. Lionev did not construct that 4 cell pack in the picture. nor do they make the BMS. if they are actually selling these then they are just a middle man marking them up no doubt. but they can put whatever they want on the net to try and scam people, because personally, thats what i think they are, a scam, the more i hear about them the more i think that, they still haven't responded to my email...has anyone checked if they have a business licence? i really wanted these guys to be the real thing. they could do so much more to prove they are what they say they are.

i have an offer

i work in television, Lionev, if you want to prove yourself if you want exposure, let me know and i'll make it happen

...i'm sure i will never get a response to that sadly

Yes and no - Ken has crudely photoshopped out Hot Juice's logo from each module

Default Re: lionev site change, where they get them from

OK Guys here is the deal.
I found out where they are buying these modules from. Lets say somewhere overseas.(China) I contacted the company for a quote on the 100ah module and they said $200 a piece plus shipping for a small order, I think that means less than 100 units. I asked them to get me a shipping quote using my business in Ohio for a discount. If this works out I would be happy to be the middleman without any mark up. You do have to order and ship to a business address. If you guys want to put your money together to do a bulk order let me know. 4-6 weeks for delivery to me probably another week from my place to yours.
If you need to know about me you can search my ebay id: wakinyantanka
check my feedback

wakinyantanka, if you don't have a business address and/or registered business tax ID number I'd be willing to help by having them shipped to my shop. The caveat is that I'm in Canada, so for shipping south again recipients would have to pay the NAFTA mandated broker's fees.

I would happly take that offer.
I plan on having my prototype all composite sports car rolling and being tested by September. I call it the ORION, 2 doors, 4 seats, about the size of a Lambo Murcielago, all aluminum suspension, 1800 lbs. 11" DC Motor performance modified with help from Jim at HighTorque. Tied to a 6-speed t-56, only using 4th, 5th, 6th, and reverse. 1800 lbs., 2120 amps at 144v, do the math fellas.
