Thstone,

Have procured 45 CALB batteries which are the most recommended by EV'ers. That will make it 144V nominal.

John,

LOL! Takes us to Warp 13, Scotty! They don't make Warp13 yet. However for some applications one can put two Warp engines back to back, meaning coupling their shafts! So you could make 18 or 22! For the 986 Warp 9 should be enough, probably this too will spin the tires...

Thanks BigJake!

Here is the plan for the location of the batteries:
  • 1st Battery box (BB) of 9 ready and will go in the place where the gas tank was. See pic.
  • 2nd and 3rd BB of 9 each, in preparation, will go on the driver side of the DC motor
  • Hoping to fit the 4th and 5th BB similarly on the passenger side of the DC motor
  • In future if I need to add batteries I will be able to put some where the exhaust muffler was. I will have to change my controller too then! I could perhaps go to 170V max with the Warp9.

I have not used up the trunk or frunk for the batteries (yet). Will be putting some electrical stuff: Charger, DC to DC converter, BMS in the bottom ~6 inches of the frunk. Hope to find the same material to line the 'new' bottom of the frunk.. And the electrical contactor box in the trunk using up about 20% of space...

Cheers.
