Re: [electricboats] 15 KW DC l electric conversikon

I just had a back-and-forth with this company in China.  I'm evaluating different packs for my Electric Yacht 20KW, and got this quote based on this thread...

Hi Mr LaCoursiere,

 

Thanks for your  prompt & detailed reply.

For your application of the Yacht battery, we recommend LTO cylindrical 66160 2.3V 40Ah Lithium Titanate (LTO ) cells instead because this model is much easier for your assembly. The 66160 cylindrical cells can be easily connected with connectors while the prismatic cells need laser-welding.

You can make the battery pack in 23S (please check the voltage range of your motor controller) 6P of 6616 2.3V 40Ah for 48V 240Ah.

Price: US$28.5/PC,EXW

Attached please find the datasheet.

And we can supply with full sets of connectors (including 1* copper connector, 2*nuts, 2* screws, 2*spring washers, 2*flat washers as attached picture)  at US$ 1.5/Set
What shipping method do you prefer, by sea or by air?

After your confirmation of the Q'ty and shipping method, we will quote you the shipping cost.

 

Best Regards,

Eliza

Contact was market@kokpower.com.

For the extra weight and roughly higher cost, I'm not sure I will go this way.  I'm curious what others think.

Cheers,

Do you have a link to follow? I'm looking at Alibaba and I'm not sure that I'm seeing what you're referring to.

I just ordered some LTO cells from China.  If you are concerned about safety and long life they may be right for you. According to battery university it's not new technology, but manufacturing technology has made them more affordable. I would suggest you read up on them.
