I purchased 7,500 kw (168 x 45) for about $1,200.00 through EBay. Supplied the end plates and water hoses too. I think next time I will just buy a salvage Volt and sell off the rest, then scrap it. Sincerely, Mark Grasser - Subject: Re: [EVDL] Advice on new battery pack On Fri Jun 22 21:57:41

Re: [EVDL] Advice on new battery pack

If you can buy a salvage/used Leaf pack, they can be very economical compared to Lead Acid (plus, they will give you better performance (more power to weight) and will last longer than a lead acid pack. So compare the price to buying 2 or 3 sets of floodies over time My Leaf modules only

3 modules in parallel is only 180ah at best, probably more like 150ah. John, don't you have a Zilla 2K in the truck? To pull even 1000 amps from those cells would be over 5C, let alone 2000! Al On 6/20/2018 11:53 PM, John Lussmyer via EV wrote: On Wed Jun 20 19:00:25 PDT 2018

I have an old Zivan Charger (1.2/2.2 kW switchable, 120v input) that was set up for a 54 cell lead acid pack. Tops out around 2.45 volts per cell (132.5 volts) if you would like to use it. Can be reprogrammed by a shop in Sacramento if needed. Located in the Bay Area. It was used in an old

I have 2 full Leaf packs in my truck. Since my motor controller does both driving and charging (and regen, which is essentially charging from the motor) there are no diodes, the two packs are always in parallel. I did put a 200a fuse in each parallel string so that a failure in one pack or a short
