I'm holding another '74 Beetle for conversion and when I do it, I want to do
it right.

Currently I'm using a pack of 16, 8 volt batteries rated at 165ah @ 20amps.
Due to Peurket's I'm told that I'll only get "X%" of the labled capacity...
(I deleted the various email long ago)

Well I want to purchase an equivelant pack of Lithium batteries from
Everspring (Thundersky?).
(See: http://www.everspring.net/txt/product-battery-pricing.htm) Assuming
that I get 50%-60% of labled capacity, that's 83-99ah @ 20 amps so if I
choose the 90ah battery, I should have the same speed and range if I buy 40
batteries (128 volts & 90 ah) right?

I have yet to pull more than 300 amps from my lead batteries and these are
rated for 300 amps max (pulsed) so I should be ok in that area.

Assuming I've worked these numbers correctly, the pack will cost me
$7200.00. If I have to step it up to the LFP160AHA, that'll cost me $12k and
I really can't afford that so I'll be plugging lead batteries in again.

Regarding controllers:

What's the story with Raptor model controllers? I rarely hear anyone talk of
them. What's the word on reliability, quality, performance? Ease of install
and operation?

Thanks,

Peter's email is [email protected] - make sure you put something like
"DCP Raptor Controller Inquiry" in the subject line so he will enable
incoming email from your address. He does not have a web site.
