We're building a repairable and more sustainable ebike battery at https://infinite-battery.com :)

Any chance you'll take a look at power tools next?

There are some Amish people who rebuild Dewalt, Milwaukee etc battery packs. I'd like a repairable/sustainable platform where I can actually check the health of the battery packs and replace worn out cells as needed.

To give you an idea of the market, original batteries are about $149, and their knockoffs are around $100.

		Heck, you can get a 50-foot extension cord for $60! Battery-powered hand tools are heavier, clumsier, generally of lower quality, less power and are less long-lived than AC-powered tools. To be honest, there's a little Amish in me: I have hand-powered tools as backup for all my AC tools.

Very nice, looking forward to a deal with Décath' ;) How hard is it to make it compatible with the various motors when there is communication involved?

I've been wondering for a while if the display on ebikes could also be a more open and durable part of it.

as an avid analog biker who enjoys seeing more folks get into cycling via their ebikes, I love this!
