Planning Lifepo4 battery order, who wants in? (Sieden)
Its getting close to putting my money where my mouth is with all this talk of lithium batteries. Testing isn't quite done yet, but I wanted to get the word out early to give plenty of time if anyone else wants in.
I can't give an exact date yet, but its looking like we will place the order for the saturn conversion before the end of the year.
I'll be ordering 45 3.2V 200 AH lithium iron phosphate cells to make up a 144V battery pack for 28.8 KwH's of reserve (and hopefully more than 100 miles of range at freeway speeds).
Please be aware that there is risk involved here, and I was told that the warranty is only 12-18 months even if the battery could in theory last more than 10 years.
