I have a client in the USA who needs to get an 18.5 volt (5s) battery pack made up for an Engineering Museum project. Aristocraft E8 and 5 passenger cars. So it will need seriously big capacity.
I can supply battery packs from Australia but they are expensive to buy and expensive to ship.
Would some kind soul in the the USA steer him to a reliable battery source please. Pack must have pcb protection.
I use All-Battery, now called Tenergy Power. I buy mostly their Tenergy Li-Ion 18650 14.8V 2200mAh Rechargeable Battery Pack w/ PCB Protection for my Bachmann geared locomotives. I see that they offer 18.5 to 25.9 packs.
In my experience their batteries have been extremely reliable as I am still using the first pack that I bought in 2013 plus all subsequent packs that I have purchased for other engines.
Thank you Mark. Very helpful.
Can’t help you there but I do wish you luck …
Thanks Bob. I have several MTO packs and they have been great. From what I read; they have much more robust protection; especially short circuit; than standard packs.
