Evan; Thanks for the information. This really helps some of us that are looking to jump into the Lithium arena.
A few more questions if I may; - How many of the 180AH cells do you have. - I assume you have the Blue CALB cells. - Do you know the approximate converted weight of your vehicle. - Are you using a BMS, or the Jack Rickard bottom balancing technique. - What Voltage are you charging the cells to. - What depth of discharge (DOD) do you normally take the cells down to. Thanks; Dennis Elsberry, MO http://www.evalbum.com/1366 http://evalbum.com/3715 The Chinese large format prismatic cells are a commodity of a sort. I have 4 years and 50,000 miles on a pack of CALB 180AH. I admit I don't have as much instrumentation as I'd like, but it could do 100 miles when new and did 100 miles recently. Again, not very scientific but the voltage drop in cold weather has increased by a volt or two over the years. I suspect that you don't hear about some of the success stories in more mundane vehicles because they "just work". In some cases *better* than the big OEMs manage. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
