Sorry about the video. Next time I will use my phone instead of my buddies.

 

[Grant 117]

You guys pointed me in the right direction. Ordered a complete volt pack 2013-2015 version.

 

[Grant 117]

Started making the adapter plate out of 1/4 . Need one for the motor then 3/4 spacer in between

 

[Grant 117]

It spins, does that mean it is lined up ...lol

 

[leman2112]

Wow Nice work! Keep it up! You almost have the first ever electric rock crawler tube buggy! I know I want one soon. So sick of wheeling with carbon monoxide gasses goin straight to my brain always feeling like I am about to pass out.

 

[Grant 117]

Yeah won't miss the heat and how loud it was.

 

[Grant 117]

I think I found a good battery pack. 2015 Chevy volt.

 

[Grant 117]

340v total
2kwh 42.4v
1kwh 21.2
Each cell 3.53

 

[Grant 117]

I'm guessing these are super low on charge?

 

[leman2112]

Is the high voltage cutoff for each cell 4.2 v? I know my lg chem cells from the chrysler pacifica hybrid will catch on fire if I charge above 4.2 v.

Yes I think so. 3.0 min and 4.2 max

 

[Grant 117]

How should I configure the batteries? Have 144v 500amp Curtis controller and a zivan 144v charger. 96 cells [email protected] cells and 2 @6 cells. I was thinking leave out one of the 12 cells and parallel the rest.

 

[leman2112]

*4.1 volts is what my high voltage cutoff is set for in order to have the longest life. Bet you could get away with at 4.0 volts for a high voltage cutoff. That way you wouldn't have to take apart your pack.

7modules(12cellsx4v) = 48v

2 modules(6cellsx4v) = 24v

"I Think I would wire these in series to make one 48v battery.)


48v+48v+48v=144v

so now you have 8 cell modules.
maybe just run 6 of them for now
36s2p

could you buy 2 more 12 cell, 48 volt modules soon?

buy 2 more 48v modules and then you could run
36s3p?

hmmmm...

 

[Grant 117]

Still going

 

[Grant 117]

Could only fit a 24 v beside the motor

 

[Olphart]

Could only fit a 24 v beside the motor

Looks awesome!

 

[Grant 117]

Thanks, another pic for ya

 

[leman2112]

So nice!!!! Can't wait to see ya shredding up some trail in that torque monster!!!

 

[Grant 117]

Trying to get this conversation done ASAP and back on the trail. Any problems you guys see ? I don’t have a lot of room to work with. My plan is to run the front 144v then have a separate 144v in the back and use forklift style connectors to switch back and forth and also to plug in the charger.

 

[leman2112]

pretty sure this is my new favorite build! Battery is looking good! I want a volt pack because the coolant tube stuff is already built into the battery pack. quite the positive feature. Your gonna love the power those cells put out. My LG chems are wicked strong.
