Default Re: Parts help!

Due the to the highlghted text, I've decided I need at least a double Anderson connector at the rear pack - the contactors are obviously "close to" the front pack, but not the rear. Actually, I didn't check the need with the LVVTA - I decided I'd be happier with a visible indication that the pack is disconnected if I'm working on/around the rear pack anyway...

yes i have seen but i have someone that has a few spare
i took it that we would need to get the pack below 60vdc so i was going to use the contactor x2 to drop it to 3 packs of 48vdc if have missunderstood it please let me know

EVWorks do fuses and holders, but I guess you've already seen that


I have a question for you .....the connector will need to be rated at to amp you are going to draw other wise it will get hot ?

Just out of interest - the EVworks price for the Zivan when converted to NZD inc GST comes to around $2400 + freight. The programmable Protech is now starting to look economically viable isn't it?

I got a email to them and monday they replyed with some info for me and as for the price it was only minimill differance so i thank you and i will let you know how it goes

By the way your coment of "- depends really on what you are aiming for at end of charge - 3.65v, 3.8v, 4.0 or even 4.2 volts per cell " what do you recomend as max with and with out bms

Thanks

I can't provide any personal input as to end of charge voltage but I do belong to the "Rickard" school. I am sending you a private message.
