I have 52 cells, 48 meant for the traction pack and 4 spares (meant in the meantime for the 12v accessories.) Since the controller will take it, I will presumably run them in a single string @ 153.6v, though I expect while I'm testing things out, I'll run 2px24s for half that. I bought them with the intention of being able to re-arrange them for higher voltage if I ever got my hands on a decent controller.

What have you fused the controller at? Do you have a part number on the fuse? I messed that part up and am looking for examples

It's not currently fused, since it's not currently installed. I've got 2x 250a/250V DC breakers on the way from the same seller who sold me the controller. Hopefully I'll only need one @153v, with a light car and a small pack.

Thanks. I wondered when you would chime in! Your build threads on GMF are helpful for planning things, and when that wasn't enough, your photobucket has some additional useful shots. I particularly like your use of all the available spaces in a Metro to hide things.
Just don't expect me to have your level of patience and attention to detail!

Sure, when I was originally planning on having regen brakes, it seemed a moot point. I doubt I can do without one or the other, though.
