I have designed the new battery rack for the 8 volters. My dad is trying to find if any of his friends or coworkers are able to weld it so it's out of my hands for now. If he can't find anyone to do it, I have a few other ideas and people who have volunteered to help out.
I was thinking about using my current pack as cores, but the batteries are still in great shape so that would be a waste. I would only get $72 off, so not much in the long run, so I think I will keep the batteries and create a power bank. I just had a thought of making a battery bank trailer that could be used as portable power.... hhmmm....
I have a little over 1450 miles on this pack and I want to get at least 1500 miles before I change over, but I do have a bunch of EV worthy errands to do that will add up those miles quickly.
I have a deadline of the end of April to get the new pack installed, and that is coming fast. I have collected a few quotes on US Battery, Trojan and Energizer and the Energizer is nearly half the price and has the same specs as the Trojan T-875.
