18650 Cells

These cells are the current replacement for LiPo in high performance E-bikes. All three are rated for 20A continuous per cell (and some web-sites list their temporary peak capabilities at around 35A!). I am reluctant to list peak amps, because…the few places that do that do not agree on the amount, and they don’t list for how long the “peak” amp-draw is, or what temperatures they reached before they stopped raising the amp-draws.

With either of these cells, a tiny 5P pack (only 60 cells if configured for 12S/44V) can put out 100A! If you are only drawing 60A as a peak during acceleration, and maybe 20A during a cruise-phase…a pack like this will not even get warm, and should last a very long time.
