would recommend MTO battery's rebuild pack, it's design for Segway, with proper insulation and vibration damper, also it is using much thicker nickle plates to handle high current under hill climb and steep decent.

your link with the 10 pack Ni-Mh might work but really not recommended.

also with the plastic package, the battery temperature sensor will not work properly, and will send false signal to the BMS, causing the battery to under charge and might enter emergency shut down mode during hill climb and decent.

that cable is not heavy enough to carry the current either, it will get very hot on heavy load causing the insulation to melt.

I know this post is old, but hoped people still check it...

For simplicity sake, I was thinking of just replacing the current NiMH cells with new NIMH cells. I was considering using these pre built 10 cell packs...

(I can't post links as I'm a newbie)

can anyone offer an opinion as to whether they would be a problem?

thank you,
