I am working on a Geo Metro Convertible Conversion, so I read the thread with interest.
I have all of the components in house (garage actually) except the batteries.
Warp-8 Motor
Gen-2 Kelly 600A 24-144V controller
Brake vacuum pump
Emergency Disconnect
Primary & Secondary Contactors
Lots of 2/0 Wire & 2/0 crimper
Throttle Pot Box
120V Heater Box (may not install it as it is already only a 3-season car)
HV Cycle Analyst Monitor
Lots of other bits...
I was planning to do the conversion last fall, but the economy tanked that idea, so it is still running with it's 3-hampster ICE.
I am planning on 120-144V system to keep currents down, and allow a decent highway speed... So again I was reading "72V" with interest...
I also was planning Lithium...Probably 100A-TS which will give me a decent range, and last a while...but Expensive...
Again, I am looking at that 72V and wondering if I could go with a 96V system, but 150A-TS's...
If you are only pulling ~200A, that is only 2C on a 100Ah-TS, or less than that from a 150Ah pack... so please post more about what you are seeing and you experiences running at that voltage...
