I just got 300v worth of Sealed lead acid batteries. That should allow for 220v AC or something like that. They should be here some time next week. 25 12v batteries. ya! Also, Rod Hower from the EVTech list is sending me a bunch of TO-247 igbts to blow up. I'm going to do a small prototype before scaling it up. Since I'm broke, the power board will be something done on the mill. The plan is to do a driver board for the low side, driver board for high side, and then control board. low side on bottom, high side stacked on that, and then control on top of that. There's a pcb company here that will do $33 per board with no setup fee, so I'm going to use them. Just one board of each one, so no screw ups allowed!
