144 volts and 12volt batteries don't look to be the answer....I'm seeing AMPS as the power and it looks like the 6V deep cycle battery used for golf carts is the thing.....
6v X 20 (batteries) and a Zilla controller. The 6v batteries pack a HUGE punch......double DC motor..... Check out Otmar's ride....arrrararrararraaarrrr, power.....he's running 240v with 20 Exide Orbital, 12.00 Volt, Lead-Acid, AGM....he must have a deal with a battery company cause that big $$ in batteries..... http://www.evalbum.com/293 (IMG:http://www.evalbum.com/img/293/293c.jpg) (IMG:http://www.evalbum.com/img/293/293e.jpg) |

In a video interview I believe Otmar stated he had over 25k in parts alone, definately a quality and pricey conversion. It may have included the 930 gearbox but I think he got that before they were desirable/expensive... I read AC is more costly and more complex/tuneable... Here's a good breakdown. Look into these battery suppliers. You may need connections as some only sell to OEM's Altair Nanotechnologies lithium-titanate A123 Systems MES-DEA ZEBRA EEStor Valence Technology |
