We have an Ever-E-Day we're taking on a tour in Europe later this summer.  The tour has a long distance day that we're afraid we can't cover with the 4, old style, Ligo's we have.  We'd like to have at least one, and maybe two more.

1.  Does anyone know if it's possible to combine our old Ligos with new Ligo 10X batteries into a power pack that will make our trip possible?  The 10X batteries are  available on Amazon, and shippable.

If that's not possible, we'll need to either get another old-style Ligo or two, or sell our old ligos and buy a new set of Ligo 10X batteries.

2.  Does anyone have any experience with shipping the old-style Ligo batteries?  (This wouldn't be an issue for those located within driving distance of Menlo Park, CA.)  I know that a few years ago, it was not possible to ship them unless they were part of a whole e-bike...

3.  Is anyone out there interested in selling an old Ligo battery or two?  We paid $200 for each when we purchased the bike and would offer that for a used battery in good shape.   
4.  Is anyone willing to loan or rent a battery or two for us to use for our trip?  (The trip is from August 28 - October 2)
3.  Is anyone be interested in buying our Ligos, asking $200 each?  (Then we could buy new 10X batteries for our trip.)

Also, does anyone know if the charger we got with the old-style ligos would work with the new ligo 10X batteries?

Hi Scott,

The LiGo batteries are made by Grin Technologies at https://ebikes.ca. You might contact their support line for details.

FYI:  I just received the following answer to my question about mixing new 10X battery from Grin Tech with their older Ligo batteries in a single power pack.  (It's fine, just need an adapter cable.)

  • "Absolutely, you can definitely use both together in parallel. You'd just need one of these cables to connect both the groups of packs together: https://ebikes.ca/anderson-xt60-batt-harness.html Then you can charge them and run them all as one pack. Just make sure when you connect them together, both packs are within 1V of each other.
