epapp,

At this time my plan is to put batteries in three places.

-- 9 in the front where the gas tank was. See attached pic of the battery box that is almost ready
-- 18 each on both sides of the DC motor in the engine bay. I have to make the battery boxes once I have the drive train position locked.

Am going to use 45 of the 180 AH CALB batteries in series making it a 144V 180AH pack. Total 25.9 KWH and considering a 500A load from my 900A controller and 144V this would make a median calculation of 72KW system. I will be happy if I can get a 80 miles range...for my daily driver. Will perhaps get more.

Now back to the measurements. Need some help here, if people who have access to an open Boxster can make some measurements/pics for me, it will be great...
