I was just about to order the power components for your 500 amp controller, with intent to operate it at about 600 to 650 amps.

If you want to provide the design for an igbt controller power section I would be happy to build and test it out.

I have a 3200lb pickup with 48 Lifepo4 cells (about 175 volts peak, 144 working). Right now I am using a 850 amp Kelly controller which seems to be about the right amp rating for my vehicle and driving style.
