I think a great solution is to run 2 banks of 9 12v's in parallel, giving 96v but with double the range. Then, when you just want to bomb around town you only need to shift 3 wires & you have 192v in series!
Of course you need a motor & controller that can handle it...
S.
I've got 12 Odyssey 1750's, at 73ah each. My controller is 144/156v and 1000A.

The generator head, which I've purchased, but I'm not sure if I'm going to end up using or not is 10,000 watts.

My motor is a 9" Kostov, rated for 144v and 107a cont. I'm hoping it can handle 1000A without melting, but I've heard of it being used at 1000A and 300v+ for drag racing, so it should be OK.
