We used 100's of those controllers on 96vdc Li-ion systems with excellent

the modules disassembled in order to install modules to specific areas

Wires to the cells for the BMS will have to be cut and spliced for the BMS

yester year is here to stay. The conversions at Cupertino last Saturday was
down 42% from last year. The real bad news was that were not any NEW bui
I remember when you said that a 6kw charger was not needed and a overkill
because you only needed a x amp to get to work and charge at somebody else's
expense. Now you say you need 40 amp. WOW. What has changed, you? EV events
are to share experiences and pass on to others the technique to upgrade
Your suggestion is acknowledged, but not accurate. I don't think you have
boots on the ground nor are in the trenches. You haven't talked to the
future, current or past converters like I have for over 10 years now. Like I
said, there is only one way to do a conversion, the right way. You keep
talki
Turnout at the event today was good, but not for conversions. About 50% less
conversions than last year and not a sing one representing a new build less
than 3 years. At least 6 people wanted to sell their broken conversions due
to dead acid. Like I said before, its going down the toilet, little or
You hit the nail on the head. You are right about the voltage. So far, our
tests using a higher voltage to the AC-45 than 105VDC is outstanding.
Currently testing it with the Curtis 1239 144 VDC controller at 144 VDC. We
haven't jacked it up to 170 VDC yet, waiting to finalize the
characterization
Plug in America at De Anza College is 9/28/13 Lets see how many DIY's
register their car.

The AC-45 is a reworked AC-31 with a lot of improvements over the AC-31. As a
Curtis trained programmer in VCL there is a lot of programming improvements
in the controller as well. Too bad you don't know what you are talking
about. I think you should be very careful using the word fraud against

My VW would do the same in 1st gear if I wanted to destroy the car. The
AC-45 is now referred to as the "BEAST"

You need to really think through your plans. I used 8850 18650 cells from
Panasonic to build a conversion in 2002, the first Li-ion powered car with a
35kw pack. It was a nightmare during the planning stage. I used the 18650
cells that had tabs, which made it a lot easier to connect. After driving
Interesting, after talking to many of the conversion owners, they didn't use
the same excuse that you provided, instead, the old standby, MY ACID IS
DEAD. Lets see if there is a local improvement of local conversion attendees
at the Plug-in day at De Anza 9/28/13. The last was a failure all of thos
It was a good show that no EV conversion owners came to. Even those that live
in the area. Ed Thorpe was there and I with the only EV conversion. Over 300
Classic cars on display in front of the Blackhawk museum in Danville. Very
sad that there is a lack of interest from those that made a lot of no
I guess you don't know how to look for or find charging stations. A good
excuse for not wanting to attend. Or maybe its more than that.
