I have been driving electric since 1999 with the help of the EVDL. I waited until the Bleeding edge people had done the expen$ive re$earch Brian Hall at Thunderstruck motors convinced me that the time had come. Cruisin' Al helped me make the transition from Lead Acid to Lithium, getting the batteries from the Chinese American (?) CALB importer/distributor in LA, and the mini-BMS & EV Display from Dimitri at Clean Power. That was in 2011, and everything came quickly. I had no problems getting my questions answered, and any problems I had worked out very satisfactorily. I'm in the 3rd year of driving the EVEscort as my daily driver, and I cannot see any difference in the capacity of the pack, and I have only had to do individual charging on 2 of my 40 100Ah CALB cells 1 time; That was the 1st time that I could find more than 0.01v difference in individual cells.
