That helps; thanks. > We have had the ac vs dc argument here so many times. If you leave out the > money factor AC. Maybe is the way to do it , I will concede that. I still haven't settled on one over the other. I'm definitely leaning towards HPEVS, but I could easily see going with Netgain instead. It's a good problem to have -- having to pick between two good options. > I am > doing a project right now that is similar to what you are talking about in > some ways ( it can be seen on my website) This will have a small generator > in the front instead of the original gas engine as has been talked about > here.

If I wind up with something comparable, I'm sure I'll be most happy.

Those are the trade-offs. Yes -- those batteries look awesome. If they were half the price, or maybe even 2/3 the price, they'd win the day for me. Half the weight, twice the power, almost as much capacity as the other likely options at this point. Maybe by the time I do my second conversion / upgrades / whatever.... b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
