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 From: John Lussmyer via EV <[email protected]> To: Electric Vehicle Discussion List <[email protected]> Cc: John Lussmyer <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, June 23, 2018 10:36 AM Subject: Re: [EVDL] Advice on new battery pack On Fri Jun 22 21:57:41 PDT 2018 [email protected] said: >You can get 16kw worth of Volt packs for under $2k without shopping >around much or lucking out.
