Clifmeister Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 So If I wanted to upgrade from a 1300 battery in an ACM to a 1600 is that even possible? And where can you buy seperate battery packs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoother Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I believe ( and I may be wrong) that the battery packs are physically the same size, only the stated capacity of the cells is different. So to upgrade you would have to swap out old for new. And sell your old ones to recoup some money. But like I said, I may be confusing this model with some other model.

Clifmeister Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 But I cant seem to find a place where they sell those batteries, are they even up for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoother Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 A Gotway dealer should be able to get them for you or Aliexpress dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 It will NOT be cost-effective, though. Two batteries will cost almost what a full wheel will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where can you buy seperate battery packs? Its possible but would make no sense... 1300 and 1600wh are both 120 cells...so you would need to change the complete battery! That would be -about- 1200-1300 dollar..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbx Nicolas Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 As some people saif it won't be cost-effective, maybe you can avoid the need of upgrading your battery by buying a fast charger (4-5amps without modifying the first connector between the charging line and the charging port, otherwise it might excessively heats).

Smoother Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 @Clifmeister , What exactly is so terrible about 1300Wh? My biggest wheel has 840Wh. I wouldn't know what to do qith 1300Wh. Are you commuting to another country or something? God knows there are no hills in the Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just was thinking if I would be able to upgrade batteries if I like to. I like to travel and commute long distance yes. I dont use the wheel normaly to commune from one place to another, but rather to explore and travel to the unknowns :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
