Hi John and All, I get mine for less than that at local junk yards.
You may have to deal some. When they are too high I just let them sit on it
until they meet my price. You shouldn't pay over $1600/pack, less in fact.
Most all will give you a 15% discount at the counter just by asking.
And their asking price is a wish in most cases. As they are
harder to deal with only a few EV people are buying them and a lot of them have
crashed and crashing as we post, they likely will stay plentiful and cheap, the
lowest price EV modules. They are only good in 48vdc multiples
though 120vdc and 162vdc nom are possible. That they happily
put out 300kw/pack , 1k amps isn't bad either and why racers like them even
with the weight penalty. I've sold for 5 different EVs, 3 lead
conversions and 2 custom besides my own lightweight EVs here in Florida to
others out of state at $150/kwh, well below the price of premium lead.
Unlikely I'll ever go back to lead. Just got my second
module, 8kwh total, in my trike subcar chassis is working out nicely but
wthr/mile is high around 120wthr/mile which I expected it to be more like
80wthr/mile. Hopefully the aero body I'm cutting out now will
help. And maybe it is the Contactor controller as now having a Wthr meter on
it, it takes a lot more power than a Curtis controller on my other EV trike
pickup. I was really hoping on 80wthr/mile. So next is robbing
the Curtis from the older trike. It'll be rebuilt as a fast long distance
subcar for towing a matching lightweight aero trailer. My
big hold up is getting longer front brake lines so I can move the handlebars,
seat back I need to do before I can put the body on. Now I have the range to
go find them with the second module in place. ;^) Jerry Dycus
