Voltphreaks batteries - which one(s) ? - LotusTalk

Don.Hasi · 08-30-2009, 02:18 PM

Hello from Germany

I am new to this lovely community and have already read a lot themes here.

With view to the batteries I have searched and read all the topics to voltphreaks batteries for Elise-use but think, some details I still haven´t found:

Was the first generation much cheaper (in former days more about 500,- now 1000?)
The so called 3lb and 4lb-variants... are they similar to the VPH300 and 450
Is the VPR-P6 already on the street?

Thank you in advance for responding

Kind regards
Don

yes, the older ones were much cheaper and lighter. The new ones have newer technology and have safety features and as a result are a little heavier and more expensive.

Thank you for your response.

So are there any news to the VPR-P6?

Kind regards

you don't need the VPR series. Stick with VPH, they half the price of VPR.

i have an old 4.5lb - well over a year old and its been flawless!

Is it proven that the VPR will be such more expensive? Cause an alternative VPH-derivate for the VPR-S30 should not be much cheaper if one compares the crankingpower...

Thanks again.

The prices are listed on the Voltphreaks website. I looked at one model of the VPR series (smaller battery) and it was $2000! The VPH of the same weight was $1200, i think.

I don't want to tell you what battery you need. All I can say is that I have the previous generation VPH 4.5 lb battery in my car for almost 2 years. That was around $500, the newest generation are double that.

unfortunately, yes...

The smallest VPR is the S30 with 26AH... for 2100,- so I hoped there will be a smaller one, like stated as a PC680 alternative with a little better price.

Kind regards
