Ok, So I looked it up to verify my statement. It looks like all the modules are in parallel. This way you can just remove one or two modules to increase the capacity of the pack. As opposed to the way everyone else does it with small voltage modules or cells in series they use high voltage modules connected in parallel.

Actually, since you only need to replace SOME modules to bring the car back up to full charge, it means that ONLY those modules were used to power the car. AND since you aren't going to tell the car "Just use 3 modules for now", the car would be pulling power from 1 module at a time. -- Bobcats and Cougars, oh my! http://john.casadelgato.com/Pets -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
