Re: [EVDL] NiCd (BB600): Golf Cart& Forklift PbSO4 battery alternatives

Hi Willie and All, Be careful buying nicads strange to you as many, most have very low power, amp output. Check their model specs first as only high output ones are useful for us. Jerry Dycus On Sat,

Re: [EVDL] Alternatives for Golf Cart and Forklift batteries

Paul, Every time the cell is at the top of charge, it will expand. Don't compress and you will likely burst it in short order. I have taken apart packs that were used *with* the Leaf BMS so charging has always kept them under 4.115V max but when I remove the nuts that hold a stack in compression,

John, One of the US Electricar owners just pulled his BB-600 out of his truck since several had died and excess electrolyte was eating the alu box. He has appropriately replaced them with a Leaf pack. I will shoot him an email with your question to see if he wants to sell/ship to you,

Re: [EVDL] Alternatives for Golf Cart and Forklift batteries

I recently replaced a set of 4 12 volt deep cycle lead-acid batteries (280lbs) with a set of lithium ion batteries. (80 lbs). They are new and pulled from sets of Chevy Volt batteries. Got them from a fellow on eBay. The parts, batteries, BMS and cables ran about $1600 for everything. The
