Willie: C-cars are only 48v systems, and draw over 500 amps on a
routine basis from their batteries. Most cheap lithiums would not like
this kind of current at all.
I had guessed that 250a would be enough since I rarely see 100a on my
36v golf carts. So, maybe two 48v Leaf strings would be needed to
supply the required current.
Gail: I would never buy another Nissan (nor, since viewing WKTEC, a
GM). But that is because they failed to support their product and honor
the warranty. They lied about and obfuscated the battery problem they
had. All batteries have problems and limitations; I object to Nissan's
way of dealing with their problems, not necessarily the products. The
alternate channels for factory batteries probably have no warranties.
I'm fine with that. On further consideration, the Volt modules would
probably be a better choice for a hot weather location, assuming your
C-Car is staying in LV.
Several have mention the possible need to replace the charger. My
experience is that any old charger will do as long as it reaches the
needed voltage and as long as it is controlled by a BMS that triggers a
shut off on high single cell voltage.
