Thank you Jay for time-editing (shortening) your original video
documentation. I found this edited video very useful, and informative.

For those viewing these posts, some background:

Jay's web site (much more details & images in a blog format)

Summarizing (corrections requested), Jay's 120VDC S-10 Truck conversion EV,
has now been upgraded from using a lead-acid (PbSO4) battery pack, to using
a li-ion pack made from a re-purposed (salvaged) Leaf EV pack. 

The twenty 6V golf/traction PbSO4 wet-cell batteries were removed, battery
boxes renovated (dirty acid-sprayed portions replaced, etc.), and 48 flat 8V
li-ion cells arranged in series-parallel (3 strings in parallel). Those
cells were physically arranged in 5 sections (modules) installed under the
truck bed  in the rear, the charger and BMS are now using the space where
the front PbSO4 batteries used to be.

The existing charger and BMS can be adjusted to work with the li-ion battery
chemistry change. Since the system voltage has not changed, the existing DC
Motor, DC controller, and DC-to-DC did not need to change.


I am hoping that automotive instructors will show this video in their
courses. This video would also be helpful to potencial customers of
EV-conversion businesses, to explain how much and what type of work would
have to be done (they could see what they will be paying for if they want a
li-ion upgrade).
