I have an old Zivan Charger (1.2/2.2 kW switchable, 120v input) that was set up for a 54 cell lead acid pack. Tops out around 2.45 volts per cell (132.5 volts) if you would like to use it. Can be reprogrammed by a shop in Sacramento if needed. Located in the Bay Area.
It was used in an old conversion that was decommissioned about a year ago. I have a number of parts from that vehicle (9” GE motor, ‘gas gauge’ converter, large breaker switch, vac pump, etc.) if anyone needs a part or two for a conversion.
