No problem on building my own and leaning that way. Have an Orion bms and lester charger I could useIf you are willing to build your own, consider reaching out to @Michael B Caro and asking about 16 of his Coslight 150ah cells. They are 3C rated so you can deliver a lot of power. (16*3.2*150*3 = 23040w continuous discharge / 746 = 30.88hp!)
They are definitely not drop-in replacement. For that you'll have to look into something like 4 X Battleborn for about 4X the cost.
Thank you,We are currently coming out with a line of LifePo4 drop in ready batteries, Big Boss Batteries, with a built in bms, digital voltage display, and a 2 year warranty.
Our initial offering is now ready to ship, but is not suitable for Golf Cart applications.
We are currently developing drop in ready batteries specifically for Golf Cart applications, both in terms of discharge rates and in regards to physical dimensions. We hope to have them ready to ship some time towards the end of this month and will be priced right.
I am, shall we say....frugal, and expect most everyone else to be as well and these will be at a price point that even I would buy them lol
and will still be a quality product.
My Coslight cells would be great for this application.No problem on building my own and leaning that way. Have an Orion bms and lester charger I could use
Which is why we are making sure that people know that our initial Big Boss Batteries are not suitable for Golf Cart applications, and we are developing drop in batteries specifically for Golf Carts.Thank you,
I will look for your updates. I have seen a number of complaints on some of the current dropins getting complaints for lack of voltage (13-14S) or tripping the overcurrent protection as they are only 100-150continuous amps. I can easily hit 200 amps going up a hill with my fat self and a fat dog or two...
We are still testing cells and prototype packs, to see which will be the best cells to use for the Golf Cart applications....while also looking at long term availability of the cells. The Coslights may or may not be available at the right price long term and we do not want to have to switch horses mid stream. We are talking to the factory and trying to get some assurances.Good specs on those and I like the terminal design.
Are these the cells for your planned cart battery? And just curious, metal case? I can always save the bms for another project..lol.
Thanks for the info
click his avatar next to one of his posts and then click "Start conversation"I will try and figure out how to send a p.m. about your cells and possible timeline on drop in modules
Lol, that is a hot.....click his avatar next to one of his posts and then click "Start conversation"
Use the bms and relays to trigger a power and charging contactor. Charging current runs through bms, but not power. Some shunts will still connect sensors to bmsNow I need to figure out the BMS. It seems a shame to slap a 100a bms on a pack that can continuously deliver 450a!
If you like Daly bms's, we can ship one with the cellsNow I need to figure out the BMS. It seems a shame to slap a 100a bms on a pack that can continuously deliver 450a!
