Whatever happened to the Efun-D ?

I am new to the board and while looking at the Z-20, XM-2000, etc, I found mention of the Efun-D. But somewhere around November of 07 it fell off the board all together.

Was it /Is it real?

The controller has been recently been updated to handle more heat. Like all scooters battery balance in the string is an issue.

I was reading you facts information page and it said that you could charge lead acid batteries at up to 104 degrees and Li-ion batteries up to 140 degrees. I have never heard this before in fact I have heard the opposite. Li-ion are consider very bothered by high temperatures. Where did you get this information. I tryed the Battery University site you recommended but that did not confirm your information.

I see the temperature limit on the B&B batteries. Where did you get the 140 degrees charge limit on the Li-ion Batteries.

Thundersky changed thier spec. Now they are saying 75 degrees celsius, which is 167 degrees fahrenheit.
