  <battery-configuration>4x12v Marine MAXX29 125AH from Wallmart. Also a booster pack of junk deep cycles connectable in two steps by 3-point contactors when in 1A contactor mode to get reasonable acceleration and speed at no cost (adds about 15 volts under 150A). </battery-configuration>

  <other-notes>100% complete - means car is registered and I use it to go to work.  As for tuning/upgrade - it never ends. --- 40 is top speed in 3rd and lots of apms, but normal top speed in 2nd @ 90 amps is 30 mph.  _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Long term plan: upgrading to LiFePo when they drop in price - likely it is not happenning soon. _ _ _ Charging at free PGE station at work for daily savings:) 


_________ps: use SAE coordinates on left to manufacture adapter plate for Fiero (and mathcing GM transmissions)
