Hello,
I am looking into a getting a 36v 10AH pack from Shockley. They sell there stuff on ebay and on http://www.EcoForumZ.com/.

It comes with a nice case, charger and BMS. I asked about the cells used, and they said they are new foil pack 3.2v cells. Has anyone heard of them? Is anyone using this pack? I attached a picture.

From Ebay:

Hello,
I am a newbie who just purchased my first e-bike conversion kit. I picked up the Phoenix 5304 hub motor with a 40 amp controller. The battery been used is a duct tape 48v 20ah pack.
