Ok, I am considering building a Li-ion battery pack.
I tried reading the forums about how to set up a pack and all I got is a headache out of it. I understand circuits and batteries, and I took chemistry and physics in college. But there are so many ideas and arguing on this forum and others that I can't make head or tails of it.
I have an electric motorcycle that has Lead Acid batteries. There is a red and black wire coming from the battery pack which splits going to the charger port and the control unit. I ride my bike, plug it in to charge, and repeat. If the battery meter starts pointing towards the Low symbol, I know I'm close to being out of electricity and should charge up. When the batteries don't give me the distance I need, I replace the pack. Very very very simple.
If I build a Li-pack it needs to just bolt/plug right into the existing system, because if it is a pain in the a$$ to use daily I don't want to deal with it.
I can find good batteries and a good charger. I know how to wire the batteries together. What else do I need to get/do this project working? I want something that is simple to use on a daily basis because I don't have time to mess around with it.
