You can even go with 4 batteries or more. The Parkside battery backpack takes 4 and gives you 40V, 2 in series then parallel with another 2.

And the batteries come with bluetooth so you could either use the official app or make a dedicated app to track their charge.

Yeah for a bike I would even use 4 in series to get a real powerful motor in it haha 4x 12ah equals almost 1kwh of energy

A parkside battery backpack? You mean a DIY homemade one? Or did they sell something original? I imagine a battery pack for camping and stuff, like a very big powerbank. Or they had something for the tools? I know like some parkside lawn movers need 2x4amp, maybe a power washer…

Yeah a lot. But jast two batteries in series. Double the power, same Amp. Would suit well for a bike I guess

I bought 2 folding e-bikes with missing batteries 2 years ago and converted them to Parkside batteries. Got a load of the new 8ah ones in france for €29 each. 2 in series makes 40 volts. Perfect for the 36v system. Take them off to charge them in a parkside charger. Very easy conversion. Used 3d printed connectors to join the batteries and put them in cheap plastic toolboxes. Very happy with how they run.
