Hey Guys,
This is my first post on this website so I'll give a little background info of the project I'm planning on doing.
Myself and a couple other guys are doing our Senior Design Project on an EV Conversion of an old VW Beetle. We are doing this on a low budget so our battery chemistry of choice will probably be lead acid.
We want our vehicle to go approximately 40 miles with a max speed of 40mph. My calculations showed that we need about 10,500 Wh (going 40mph for 1 hr). <-- Does this seem reasonable?
My question is: can anyone point me to a helpful thread/vendor/website/person that sells lead acid batteries for this type of application? Keep in mind that we are on a tight budget.
