LOVE CHI! Lol Especially David. I had the first EVER 72V Talaria X3 thanks to him. The team over there not only produces the best batteries in the game, but they also take care of their customers. Definitely going Chi Battery Systems from here on out.

These guys are great. They were super helpful keeping me informed regarding my order and let me know as soon as it was ready, so I could come pick it up. Battery works great, twice the range on my Onewheel. It’s not easy to find…

Titan 72 Max wheelies for days! Just set up my Talaria MX4 with a new battery upgrade and EBMX X9000. It's heavier but more like a 125 2 stroke now, so I personally love it. 21x18 tire setup and it rips! Battery is very nice, shipping was quick, included charger gets the job done if you set it up to charge overnight. Highly recommend.

Starting out this year I scooped up a onewheel pint on sale and love it but after riding for a while I quickly outgrew the board and its capabilities from the factory. Obviously having just bought the pint it wouldn’t make any sense to invest in a pint x the only other option was to convert to vesc and upgrade the battery. The quart was a no brainer when it came to the battery upgrade considering there’s no modifications required to make it fit and it still fits in the factory battery box. The factory battery would get 8-10 miles depending on the trail I was on and how much regen I could get and when I upgraded to vesc it was even worse having more available power. I went with the quart s and got 18.5 miles on a full charge! ChiBatterySystems has great installation guides, the battery was shipped within the expected eta and came fast and the quality was great! No complaints and no more range anxiety. One of my favorite mods for my board so far.

I bought the 55ah battery for my beloved ONYX RCR in December 2023 and boy did it roar my ONYX back to life! This Beautiful Battery powered by LG batteries and assembled in the 'good ol' USA is a cut above the Made in China 41ah ONYX battery.

After placing approximately 500 miles on the battery I decided now is a good time to do an honest review.

I worked with David during the buying process and he was always professional and answer my inquiries in a timely manner. He made sure the Company sent me a quality product. The battery was shipped perfectly and the feel and look of the battery is superb. My normal "Governor" on the bike have a hard time staying at 40 mph and under. I have done 44 mph on normal mode going downhill and 42 mph on flat roads when the battery is fully charged. I am 6'1 and weigh 270 lbs.

I also noticed the front light is noticeably brighter using the 55ah battery which is greatly appreciated for safety reasons. The LG cells are a cut above the rest based on my past experiences with Chinese cell batteries. If my memory serves me correctly ChiBattery is now using Samsung batteries which is regarded as higher quality cells in the industry as well.

For $200- $400 more money the 55ah battery is worth the extra dough compared to the ONYX 41ah battery due to higher amperage, better quality control, better battery cells and good support from the Company that speak and write clear and legible English.

All in all, I am quite happy with my 55 amp battery and with good care I expect this battery to last for years.

If anything changes i will update my review but so far it's happy sailings with this purchase as I continue to enjoy riding my ONYX RCR.

Went with the 72V MAX for a lightbee build and it's a rocket. The range is perfect for a day in the woods. Glad I went with upgrading the Surron platform instead of going Varg bc I don't ride track. The light bike keeps the fun factor. Also had self inflicted blemish on my battery and Chi was quick to help me get it repaired. YOU DA MAN Mr. CHI!

I ordered a 60 volt max. Soon as I do not only do they switch from a rubber casings around the battery to it a allium case. Of course I get old rubber version. But I get caught riding home in the rain once. Because of that water got into the battery. Couldn't been much but enough for it to malfunction days afterwards. I put in my ticket for it to be service & it takes at least 2 months of me to get a up pickup date for them to get the battery. Even then it took another 2week from that for them to finally send someone to get it. First attempt failed. So another week or so from that it finally was pickup. But due to it sitting so long corrosion damage happened. Now they say my battery can't be fix due to corrosion but I blame them for taking so long to get to me. They aren't responding to me anymore n all I ask was for a discount on my next purchase. It the leat they can do for my 2500 lost due to them taking forever but I'm losing out in the end of the day.

ChiBatterySystems is the standard for every company in the world to aim for both in regards to product quality and support and the absolute best customer service I have ever experienced. Big shout out to Samantha for treating me like a lifelong friend despite the fact we are total strangers. She went over and beyond to help me live out my dream of riding my XR in Germany and with all odds against me and zero assistance from Future Motion (only more hurdles than anything) the community and ChiBatterySystems saved the day and helped put me on Schwäbische Alb smiling from ear to ear. Thank you so so much Sam! I hope that in the future Future Motion can take a lesson from ChiBatterySystems and the whole community supporting the real world riders but until that day comes it brings me solace to know I got Sam on my side.

PS 6 stars isn't possible otherwise ide give 10.

Thanks again CBS you guys are amazing,
