Hey ya'll, long time lerker, first time poster, and I'm just looking for advice on a project I'm working on...
So I have an older electric bike, it's a 2011 Trek FX+ series with a small Bionx brand battery on the back, and I'm looking to solder in a larger battery on it that I got from a broken electric skateboard, I just I don't want to fry anything from overpowering it. Here are the specs of the batteries;
Bionx Battery
Lithium Ion
260Wh
6.4Ah
40v
Electric Skateboard Battery
Lithium Iron Phosphate
400w
20Ah
20v
So I'm trying to decide on how to go about this? Or if the voltage is just the biggest concern in a situation like this and I can put something like a step up/down voltage transformer... I'm fairly savvy, this is just a bit over my head. Any tips or advice would be appreciated!
