Where to buy battery?

Hello friends!

After much reading you, I decided to buy components to assemble my Foil assistant.

I want to give use for surfing Foil, I don’t want to use as EFOIL.

Components purchased:
6384 120kv
Flycolore Esc 150 opto
Maytech remote control

I have managed to get everything working properly with a power supply. Now I have to buy the battery… I have doubts about whether to use 8S3P or 10S3p.

Can you recommend me some place to buy at a good price? alexpres? I am Spanish.

Thanks and happy new year!

Hi!

I’m based in spain as well and been building a few foil drive copies.

I’d stay away from AliExpress for the battery and either look for a foil drive one or get someone to build one for you.

Where are u based?

I live in Cadiz, Andalusia. If you can write me a private message and we can talk.

Amorge power is a Chinese battery manufacturer that makes good quality custom battery’s

I build custom packs for multiple efoil users. Feel free to message me on the forum or instagram.

I can share 100s of pictures of crappy aliexpress batteries, fake cells, nickel-plated steel, dangerous layout, too thin cables, poor quality bms…

I’ve been receiving a few messages over the past few days.

What exactly do I do?

Since 2017, I have been building custom battery packs for customers, primarily for electric skateboards and Onewheels. In recent years, I have further specialized in eFoils and now also offer custom-made packs for them.

I build battery packs tailored to your specific needs while sharing my expertise on layout, cells, BMS, and more.

For larger orders, I can work with fully custom-cut nickel strips.
For smaller orders, standard nickel strips are used and cut to fit the layout (just like Kian shared above).

All packs are built using pure nickel strips, with each cell fitted with additional fish paper rings. Depending on the setup, the cells are placed in different holders. Additionally, proper insulation is always applied between cells, balance wires, output cables, and more. This ensures that even under vibrations, cables do not rub against each other.

Below, I’m happy to show a 16S12P pack with Samsung 50S cells (60Ah - 3456Wh), fully custom-made to fit perfectly into the enclosure provided by the customer.

Thank you @Pjotr. Can’t wait to test it :smile:

CHINA! Cheaper, better quality, all sizes available, China is supplying the worlds batteries, the days of building own packs are gone

Yes China makes good batteries but a lot of bad ones too. The majority of the bargain prices battery packs that you can find on Aliexpress, Temu, eBay or any other sites have fake capacity a lot of Chinese cells are mislabelled with impossible capacity so you have to be careful.
