Has anybody found a good UK source of Lithium ion packs to rival the choice of All-Battery.com.
I had found my perfect battery Pack - 11.1v 5.2 Ah at aggod price. Went to order it only to find that delivery was as much as the battery pack.
I haven't been able to find anything equivelent here yet.

After this Puffer, I'm fed up of bike battery packs. They cost a fortune and most have their own connectors which prevent you using any other battery pack.
I think the answer is to buy a power tool that uses the same voltage, and use its charger and battery for bike lights. Of course a few connectors would have to be made up, but that would be the problem solved.
I've spent lunchtime wandering around looking at likely prospects.

Thanks for the comments.
I spotted all-batteries ebay shop and will probably go that way, I just fancied the 5200mAh 11.1v pack they've got on themain site.
They have 5200mAh pack on Batteryspace but the small print says that on top of the $45 delivery to the UK there will be an extra charge for Lithium products. The airlines are a bit careful about carrying Lithium, giving the delivery companies reason to apply extra charges.
Do Smudges batteries come with PCB protestion?Posted 3 years ago # -
I have a Batterspace 14.8v 4800mAh Li-ion & charger for sale on classifieds if thats any good for yo

Smudge's batteries are very good and they're well finished.
Contact him, for prices and options.
You can get a custom battery ( within the realms of what he can make ) and he's a nice fella too.
My Batteries have come with full protection, and when I popped the fuse on one, I sent it back and he fixed at the bare minimum of cost, just postage I think.
Highly recommend !.

Innes you really would be better getting touch with Smudge, my battery is for a specific application so price could be way different for you.

Hi,
I'm still here
Thanks for all the kind words guys.
yes i'm still building li-Ion batteries, but due to smudge senior being in hospital for the last 3 weeks ive had to put everything to one side.Let me know what you are after and i'll return youre email within a couple of days.
But please bear with me on my prices as the exchange rate has effected me as everyone else. But remember I am in the UK, delivery is usually within a few days of payment plus I come highly commended by the singletrack guys.Or you could buy cheap and cheerful stuff on ebay from across the pond..
for more info and pics please email me
