Yes, I am still here. Been down in the dungeon up dating and up grading my EV. I now have 45kW of Nissian battery pack in the EV. Can drive these steep hills and at speed of any other vehicles. Increase the battery weight so I now can go up icy hills with no problems passing other vehicles with out any problems.
Parallel six strings of batteries for 226 volts per string for a total of 199.8 AH. Sometime ago, I said the most negative cell has a 0.03 higher voltage then the most positive cell when charging about 50 ah. Then when charging the most positive cell because about 0.03 volts higher than the most negative cell. Normally all the cells voltage are in with 0.01 to 0.02 volts. I am using the Orion BMS. These cell modules are not group all together in one block. There are three separate blocks space 6 inches apart and each module is space 3/16 inches apart. All battery blocks are space 2 to 5 inches from the battery box. There is a internal blower fan that circulates the air inside the battery box, a input filter air blower to bring in outside air, and a exhaust fan to exhaust the battery box air. The temperature never went above 80 F. Normally its in the 60 to 70 F. Using a PFC-50 charger set for the Li-Ion batteries at 95% maximum charge which is about 215 volts or about 4.0 volts per cell, each string is only being charge at about 8 amps per string or 48 amps/6. At this charge rate, it still only takes between 30 to 60 minutes to charge the battery pack.

Gone are Charlie, Bob Rice, Bob Beaumont. And, of course many others. Bob Beaumont does have a wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Beaumont<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Beaumont> though it is sadly lacking in detail. Wikipedia seems like an ideal place to put such things. Being a student of genealogy, I frequently lament "I wish I had extracted that information while it was available!". Speaking, of course, about dead people. The time to accumulate information is while the subject is alive. Currently living EV pioneers whose lives and contributions should be documented would include: Otmar, Jukka, Bruce, David, Lee, Roland. Wayne Alexander, Mary Ann Chapman, Gail Lucas, many of the sadly banned drag racers (I know, only the subject is banned), and numerous others. Being a relative newcomer to EVDL and EVs, I lack the knowledge to compile a comprehensive list. I notice Roland has been silent for a while. I hope things are well with him. Does anyone else have an interest in preserving such history? _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub<http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub> http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org<http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org> Read EVAngel's EV News at http://evdl.org/evln/<http://evdl.org/evln/> Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA>) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
