That would also make the DC bus change much more slowly from the boosting and bucking (millisec instead of microsec) so you wouldn't have to be quite as vigilant in the software. And then you can also do it for $59. So, then the cost of parts would be $290 (in quantity 1) or so. Well, you would need an extra current sensor, dang it. I can only fit 2 on the power board.The 3000hour rating isn't such a big deal. That's like 1 hour of driving daily for 9 years.

Are you ready to build these for testing?
My wife is in Mesa for the next 3 weeks and could transport a couple of them home for torture testing
It would save some shipping costs!
With 8s2p of the Leaf tins I can configure 64V nominal at 120A (1C) or 360A (3C) for a minute or so. Just a suggestion
