You can use 16 as a 8S2P.
Or 18 as a 6S3P
I’m not sure I would go below that. Technically, you could even do 7S1P but “Battery Current Max” would need to be 20A (with 30Q cells) and you won’t get 25mph+
@paulbriz all batteries are not equal. Listen to @b264, he knows his stuff. Esk8 is an expensive hobby, and the battery is usually the most expensive single part. Do not cheap out on your batteries. If you do, best case is that they don’t work. Worst case, they catch fire while you’re riding them.
There are hundreds of threads and dozens of tutorials on this site, and you really need to take the time to read this shit. It’s the difference between a great ride and having streetace.

Definitely is expensive, whould lipos be easier
Certainly easier to construct. Cheaper but not as long lasting, cycle wise.
This is a great thread for constructing a good lipo set up.

Aw thanks , 18650 should be the way for a daily rider
Absolutely. Best bang for your buck in the long run and proven. Lipo choice can be a lottery as can using unproven liion cells lol Get yourself some Samsung 30q and read all you can about construction. When you have read all you can then start over and read it all again. Good luck my friend

you dont really need 50 if you are just starting of, a 10s4p (40 cells) or 10s3p should already do the trick. especially if you have one motor then 10s3p is more than enough.
Also for one of my friends , I miy give my self 10s 3p or 12s2p
50 would make a 10S3P and a 10S2P
