Free! Alta battery, and charger, looking for a good home.

[Dman]

Hi all.

I was lucky enough to have experienced a little time with a Redshift back in 2019, before we tore it down for analysis. We never opened the battery. It is in mint condition and I would like to see it go to a good home, now that the project is over. It has all of about 20 hrs on it. It also comes with a charger, still in the box/briefcase.

I’m not looking to get any money for it, just need you to pay for shipping, which might be a little pricey, as it is a Li-Ion battery, and heavy. For the cost of shipping you get a $3000 battery and the charger.

I just want to make sure it goes to someone who has an actual bike to put it in and isn’t just going to resell it for profit.

Sound too good to be true? I know it’s hard to believe but otherwise it will simply be scrapped and that seems like a waste.

My ask is that you:
A) convince me you have a bike to put it in
B) will use it and not resell it
C) pay for shipping
D) take both the battery and charger

It is the A pack battery for the MX model. Would not fit the MXR (R pack).
What did you do with the rest of the bike?
Is it uncharged since 2019?

I have 3 Altas and would put it to very good use.

that's a very generous offer, i already have an extra battery and very, very low mileage on my two so i have no need of them, but i hope yours find a good home...you're a good person.

I’d be happy to pay you for the battery and charger. I have no intent to resell it. I worked for Alta. I have three bikes and want to keep riding them. A spare battery would be great. I have a small stockpile of parts, but no batteries.

It would be great to have it, I have a Alta that I love- but I am constantly hesitant to ride it because I am afraid of degrading each time I ride my bike. It’s a love/hate deal.

I would be happy to pay to ship it to Portland OR and keep it for my personal bike.

Thanks for considering it and it is a cool thing you are doing.

I would also be interested if they are still avail. I got my 18 a few months ago and having an extra battery would be nice if the current one dies.
