    I'm buying this conversion kit for my beach cruiser

    I can't figure out what kind of battery is compatible. Am I able to run something like these batteries?

    $65 UB12120 12V 12AH SLA Battery 12 Volt - F2 Terminal/ 2 Pack
    https://www.amazon.com/UB12120-12V-...EH90EQGJ2H6&psc=1&refRID=TDEZ0NHR7EH90EQGJ2H6

    Or do I need this other kind of battery?
    $330 Joyisi 48V 15AH Ebike Battery, Electric Bike Battery and BMS Protection Board for 1000W 750W 500W 350W Bafang and Other Ebike Motor (Black)
    https://www.amazon.com/Joyisi-Elect...CMK8RE0Z7WG&psc=1&refRID=24WHQ5XJQCMK8RE0Z7WG

    Can someone explain to me the difference between these two batteries?

    The biggest difference is the 48v is Lithium ion. A much better batter. The 12v are lead acid. Both will work if you use 4-12v but I think the li-ion will last longer.

    Can I use the 12v lead acid batteries on the 48v conversion kit?

    That kit says it requires no less than 11.6AH. The 12v batteries are rated at 12AH so it would be close if the batteries are accurate. Golf carts use mostly lead acid batteries so I dont see why not. However you may want 12v batteries closer to 14-15AH. I would get ahold of Batteries plus to find out the best options for longevity and best range. I know a little but not an expert. :hattip:
