[EVDL] Costco Golf Card Battery terminals

2019-06-04 Thread Roger Daisley via EV
Does anyone have experience with the Costco Golf Cart batteries? My concern is the terminals. Previously I have used the L-terminals on golf cart batteries. The Costco golf cart batteries use the typical golf cart battery terminals, which are a post with screw stud in the center. Can this

[EVDL] Disassembling a Nissan pack

2018-10-28 Thread Roger Daisley via EV
I am finally getting around to disassembling the Leaf pack I picked up this summer. I understand the cells need to be held compressed while charging/discharging. My question is: Do the cells removed from a pack and allowed to "sit around" need to be mounted and compressed?

[EVDL] LEAF cells under load

2018-08-15 Thread Roger Daisley via EV
In planning for my new LEAF battery pack, I am a bit concerned about current load. With the config I have planned, I figure the max. current thru each string will be about 160a, probably limited to around 1-2 minutes. Normal semi-continuous current will be around 60a. Will this be a problem?

[EVDL] Advice on new battery pack (Second thoughts)

2018-06-22 Thread Roger Daisley via EV
Reading thru the prior comments (which I really appreciate) I am starting to wonder if I'm getting ahead of the cost curve. Maybe I should carefully consider if lithium i.e., Leaf packs, is the way to go, at this time? Another set of floodies is about $3000 and good for four to five years. Maybe

I am going to give the Costco 6v golf cart Batteries a try. I just hauled home 18 of them. (56 lbs, ea.) My previous battery set has the L-foot terminals, while the Costco batteries have the post, with 5/16 screw. My controller draws about 550 amps, max. (Usually, under one minute duration.)
