I purchased this https://www.ebay.com/itm/48V-1000W-...739654?hash=item1ca941b3c6:g:Y5MAAOSwWbRan145
I just got it today, and it doesn't necessarily fit perfectly into my rear dropout since my bike uses quick release skewers and this is a bolt on. I can get the majority of it on but there will be a very small gap, I hear I can just file it down to get a perfect fit but would that be necessary if I bolt them down tight instead?
Other than that I was looking for a battery and came across this https://www.ebay.com/itm/U-P-P-Ebik...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Does not say what type of cells they are using, but the price seems about right for my budget. Can this be used if my motor and controller is 48V? I've heard some places you can for the most part, but just wanted to be on the safe side since things can overheat and get burnt. I went with option 4 on the connector type since those look closest to the connectors on my controller which the colors of the wires are just swapped.
Only thing I would like to know is what should I expect from this? With a 52v 13AH battery how many miles will it last most likely if pedal moderatly, or not at all. How bad would it be if I went into a puddle and splashed water on the components? I don't plan on doing anything crazy with it, but I will be taking it off road on my mountain bike, no jumps or anything like that but the bumps can be quite harsh sometimes. The rim is double walled and the spokes seem heavy duty. I do have a 55mm of travel for the rear suspension which should help.
