Controller EVHelp 144volt 500 Amp Controller
Worked with Mark Hazen down in Florida and
he custom built the controller for this
car.
Batteries12 Trojan T1275, 12.00 Volt, Lead-Acid, Flooded
9-1-10 Got some used Trojan T1275s from
my Trojan dealer (good deal) and
installed them. So far, nice
batteries.

9-4-09 Got these Deka Dominators from
a friend but they are used. Huge
increase in power with the increase in
voltage!!! Love that!!! Range did not
improve really. Still less than 20
mile range. Need Lithiums badly.


Original Batteries where C&D Long
Durations Series Batteries which were
excellent but I blew one up as internal
resistance heated up the terminal and
melted the plastic casing and out
popped the terminal.

Friend of mine gave me the original
batteries as they came from a telephone
system that was replaced. $487 a piece
if purchased new. Load tested them
with 500 amps and the needle doesn't
move!!! YEAH!!
System Voltage144 Volts
ChargerElcon 144v Charger
Dumped the bad boy as it wasn't
isolated and occasionally if not
wearing rubber soles you could get a
jolt and the Bridge Rectifier kept
blowing so I figured it was time to
pick up a new one. Love the new
Charger. 120v or 240v capable and
charges at 9 -10 amps at 120v and
24amps at 240v. Love the 240v charge!

originally, built my own "bad boy"
Charger. The "bad boy"
charger worked fine for about 1 year
but it wasn't isolated.
HeaterI decided to use the existing heater
core without pulling apart the dash
board to get at it. I bought an
electric heater and pump from

Heater/dp/B000I8VKOY/ref=sr_1_1?
ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1223516436&sr=
8-1 a Kats Alumininum Circulating
Heater that I attached to the input and
output hose connections of the heater
core. It is a 110 volt unit and I will
wire it to an inverter and to a switch
on the dash that will turn on the
heating element to preheat the fluid in
the heater core.
DC/DC ConverterKelly HWZ Series DC/DC Convertor 96V to 13.5V 300W
Tried using a Video Graphics power card
but that shorted out so I bought a
Kelly. Works very well. All
accessories running and the 12v system
is in tact. Also, my vacuum pump runs
off the pack voltage not accessory
systems voltage.

9-4-09 The Kelly Blew up!!! Added more
batteries but not enough that it should
have blown. It is rated from 96 volts
to 130v. I thought it was just the
fuse that I blew but once I changed the
fuse there is now a short inside the
box which will have to be looked at
some other time. I put a deep cycle 12
volt in instead for the time being. I
have contacted Kelly and they said they
will replace the DC to DC. It is being
shipped.

Top Speed78 MPH (125 KPH)
This is an estimate from the EV
Calculator at
WebPage

Don't live close enough to a big
highway to test this but I have had it
up to 65 on a 50 mph rated road and
felt great and it still had a little
torque left.
AccelerationReally good in second gear up to about
40 mph. Shift to 3rd and still some
acceleration up to 60. Hills take some
run up rather than from a dead stop.
From a dead stop on a good hill, I max
out a 40 mph (which is the speed limit
so I am not bothered).
Range20 Miles (32 Kilometers)
Lots of hills near me.

Ave 50 to 60 miles an hour on local 2
lane road to and from major stores.
Add in the hills and range is at 25
max. After that the batteries are in
need of a recharge. Got stuck 1 miles
from my house over estimating the
range. Plan to upgrade the batteries
within one year.
Watt Hours/MileDon't know this yet. Just got the Pak
Trakr set up and still need to find the
current sensor I have for it. Once I add
that in I should be able to access this
info.

Seating Capacity2 adults comfortably, 2 kids in the back
seat.
Curb Weight3,400 Pounds (1,545 Kilograms)
Free Batteries where Heavier than the
batteries I originally wanted to use
thus I have limited the batteries to 8
12 volts or 96 volts system currently.
4 more batteries will be under the back
seat once I change the rear springs and
can afford 4 more batteries.
TiresYokohama Avid V4s
Conversion Time8 Months for work, planning and designing.
Conversion CostEstimated a little under $7,000 total
but always doing something to the
car... Fixing and upgrading as often as
possible.... (Next job...Wiring up a
lighted Charger receptical under the
old gas cap!!!

Part II

Getting ready for winter....it is starting to get cold.
My daughter is at a new school and I have been driving
her to school and she takes the bus home. 20 miles total
and I just about make it each way (too many hills). When
I charge up the pack gets warm so I think during the
winter I will be charing 100% at night to keep the
batteries "warm" when I get up to take my daughter to
school. I will see what I manage with this set up.

I am still in love with this car. I drive it everyday.
If I have to go someplace in my gasser, I always try
and take the EV out for a ride as well. It is that fun.
Took a guy out for a ride in it today and he was
fascinated. Seems the EV grin is catching!!!!

This baby is awesome!!!! I have a huge EV grin!!!

This car will need additional batteries. The more the
merrier. Their is plenty of space under the back seat
but I didn't have the extra batteries anyway so it really
didn't matter. I have found lithium for $1.10 Ah but
still not low enough for me yet. Lead Acid will be it
for a while. I will keep updating it.

Increase if pack voltage really helped with acceleration.
The weight is the same as it was before as the replaced
batteries weighted in at 880lbs. The new one weight in
at 780lbs. So I actually lost 100 lbs of weight and
gained 36 volts which really helped.

Build yours soon!!!! Questions please contact me. I
have become a dealer for Warp motors so I will be happy
to get you a good deal on a great motor.
