What they are "rated" for and what they will actually do are two different things. They are actually "rated" at .3C. 1C continuous let alone 3C continuous will lead to an early demise. Al On 6/12/2015 12:15 AM, Paul Dove wrote: Those batteries are rated for 3C continuous. Sent from my iPhon

Hi Alan. Thanks for the insight! I do worry about the batteries. It's not my Li conversion. So, I'm short on many details. Here is what I know. It ranges 90 miles per charge under easy use. 45 miles per charge when driven aggressively. The 40 AH Lithiums are packed into 24 4-cell para

95 40ah cells is only 12kWh. Range will be minimal. I doubt the 40ah cells will last very long since you will be pulling at minimum 1C continuous. Al On 6/11/2015 3:00 PM, David Miller via EV wrote: Everyone, One of our Rav4EV News Group guys converted his Rav4 to Lithium for ~$7.5 total.

Thanks for the amazing input everyone! Bruce, Thanks for all the leads! You're right, I'm not that Toyota guy. Cor, The long cycle times I mention are for reconditioning individual cells one at a time with a SuperBrain989. Slow discharge/slow overcharge cycles, not ordinary charge cycles.
