Yes, we mean "non-user-replaceable". It is easily swappable at our facility.

  Just like Macbooks. Definitely not a deal breaker.

    Except today's Macbooks will be outdated and superseded in 5-10 years, whereas a skateboard won't.

  What data have you found in terms of long-term performance/degradation on your battery packs?
  • skdoo 13y ago
    We haven't finished our own tests, but the cell manufacturer's specs have been accurate so far and they promise very high cycle life.

      What manufacturer did you use for cells?
      • reportingsjr 13y ago
        They are using A123 (or rather B456 now) cells. You can tell this pretty easily by doing a google image search for "a123 cylindrical cells" and comparing the pictures in the blog post.

      Alright, so what life time can one expect as a customer? And economically speaking, how expensive will a battery swap be? The whole reason I'm asking is this 20 year old skateboard I have down the hallway, which is working flawlessly with every single component easily swappable :-/
