So I'm thinking about a good pre-EV performance project, and an electric go kart conversion seems like it could be the most basic way to gain experience in EV racing.
I might also actually be able to afford the requisit number of a123s!
QUESTION:
Has anyone ever seen an EV of any sort that keeps DeWalt 36V power packs intact (instead of just gutting out the a123s)? It would be cool to have a whole bunch of them plugged in and visibly powering the kart, but not sure if that's actually feasible circuitry-wise.
The 70kW a123 kart used the cells from 40 DeWalt packs @ ~2lbs ea.
Thoughts?
