A little earlier this week I got the box installed along with the batteries. The dc-dc converter, charger, and bms are still not in the car. That is the project for this weekend.

On the front of the box mounting flanges, I added a 1/2" nut. This will allow me to put in threaded rod to lift and set down the box.


Sorry for the blurry pic.




I also threw in some rubber padding between the box and chassis to save the paint and also dampen vibrations a bit.




So, the time has finally come to install the box!




And here is the back row of batteries. I got the rest of them in with the BMS harness connected, but at that point it was pretty dark out and I just wanted to finish up for the night.
