    Finding a high voltage DC inverter for 110 or 220 output

    Very interesting conversion. He has done some things I had not thought of....then, I am not familiar with EV driving and desired helpful equipment, only the basics. I have the opportunity to buy two complete CODA drivetrains (Controllers, motors and transmissions). One for the front and one for...

    Finding a high voltage DC inverter for 110 or 220 output

    For some odd reason, I forget that there will be no engine in the engine bay. So I was trying to figure out how to get the battery in the rear of the wagon. There will be plenty of room. I feel so dense sometimes. But not for long. I can forgive myself rather quickly.

    Finding a high voltage DC inverter for 110 or 220 output

    I haven't started the project yet. I need a plan and time to source equipment for the build. That's why I talk to people here. Others people as a whole have vast experience that is useful when do ing a DIY project. Avoid pitfals that others experienced. I buy everything I can used when there is...

    Finding a high voltage DC inverter for 110 or 220 output

    We are not looking for a speedy car, just reliable, comfortable and AWD. I plan to convert using individual components. Some of which were purchased from The car is mainly just for trips to town 6 miles away and most trips are under 30 miles once per day. I already have two Prestolite DC motors...

    Finding a high voltage DC inverter for 110 or 220 output

    Thank you Robby. Sorry, I should have said I will be assembling my own batteries from LiFePO4 cells to match requirements of the inverter. I feel they are safer than some of the alternatives, even though a bit bulkier. I do not want to burn our house or car with a silly/stupid error or faulty...

    Finding a high voltage DC inverter for 110 or 220 output

    I would like to know before designing a system where I can have a replaceable DIY battery in a DIY EV. I own a Volvo xc70 AWD with a bad engine and the wife wants a AWD electric vehicle. We live off-grid and will be charging with solar. So, I figure if we are going to try our own EV with high...

    LiFePo4 QR For Cell Authenticity

    OK, here it goes. I look for EVE LF280K cells since they appear to be the most cost effective cells for Kwh/USD (including the BMSs) for the 57Kwh I desire. I have contacted Amy Zheng from Docan Power. She has been very nice and appears to never have a personal life since she always appears to...

    LiFePo4 QR For Cell Authenticity

    Since laser etched QR codes are no longer a true tell, experience must be relied upon. As I have no successful (more later) experience buying LiFePo4 cells, I must rely upon others who have good experiences purchasing battery cells. My needs are not small. If I were to be buying 4 cells, I...

    LiFePo4 QR For Cell Authenticity

    It has been stated that the QR code on an authentic cell (and pack) is laser etched and non-authentic cells are painted on. While this could make sense to me, I have no experience with having a cell in my hand to examine. So....I ask from those who have experience with assembling their own...

    I've seen most battery questions before, just not all in one place.

    I have 2 parallel 24V 375Ah gel batteries in my photovoltaic system in our camp. There are 12 160 watt mono panels for a potential of 1800 watts on a stationary rack that receives sun from 8am to 3 pm. Also, there are three 30A MPPT chargers. My wife recently was experimenting with some...
