I 'm going to be running one of these motors at full power for a duration of 6 minutes:

Any idea where I can get my hands on batteries like the li-ion shown here?



It appears they are running 10 kw motor at 60 V and 167 amps for a total of 25 minutes of sustained flight time. I don't need nearly that much power or duration, thought the the electric paraglider developers seem to be using this same battery, thus I assume they found the most effecient way to go by choosing these types of batteries. I have no clue where to find them, though.

Check out this video if you like. Now that is en expensive electic toy!!:

Thanks for your help!

maybe look over on the EV or electrical vehicle's forum. They often use much bigger packs. From my calculations that pack would have to be about 87Ah to give 25 min of flight time @ 167A cont draw and 80% discharge on the pack
