Ben,
A few more questions...

1. Why the expensive batteries? ($160 EACH for 4 Optima yellow top 55AH batteries) Will a standard 12V car battery not work?

2. On the ALLTRAX AXE - PM wire diagram, what is the purpose of the Main Contactor?

3. Also on the diagram, where would the DC to DC converter be placed?

4. Would it be possible to salvage old parts from a golf car? (Example: the throttle mechanism)

5. What is the current draw for the 48Volts battery pack when charging? I want to size my solar panels properly for charging purposes.


Sorry for simple questions... I have a better mechanical background than electrical.


Thanks,
Chris
