    NiMh Pack Update

    Well the Side Kick came out of winter storage, the NiMH pack was topped off, and away it went... So I can say that the NiMh pack stored well (off a charger) with no problems... It is from http://www.coloradoadvancedbattery.com/category-s/22.htm and it does exactly what they say it does... I...

    Kelly controller Post-Mortum

    I have been getting closer and closer on my CAR project to where I needed to order a Big Controller... the 144V-650A size.... I had been waffling between Kelly, Zilla, Curtis, Synkromotive, logisystems and a few other Big controllers. Slowly I had eliminated the "Dumb" controllers as I wanted...

    Large (CAR) Capacity & Voltage packs??

    I finally have a donor car and am starting the homework for converting to Electric. I would love to see some discussions on LARGE packs as I am looking in the realm of 120V and 100Ahrs... (With a 700lb lead pack this will give me about 20-25mi usable range, but limited cycles...) Prismatic...

    Would adding Super Caps help?

    I am wondering if adding a SMALL bank of SuperCapacitors near the controller/Motor would help "stiffen" battery packs some... I don't know the science, but I am thinking that if the controllers are switching on/off at 12Khz into a purely reactive load, and you only have a resistive source, that...

    Warp9 Sep Excited or Series ??

    It looks like I finally will have a donor Vehicle for an EV conversion... A 1999 Toyota Corolla in great shape. Once I find an Adapter plate for a Warp9 motor most of the really hard stuff is done... QUESTION: The Warp-9 although normally wired as a series motor provides access to the Field...

    Painless Regeneration

    After Smoking TWO Crystallyte 4850 Controllers I bought a Kelly 10148 100A 48V Regnerative controller. I cut off the connectors from the old controller and used them to connect to the Kelly... It ran out of the box ! Well no real surprise there after I got all the help on color codes and the...

    What is LiMn04 Battery

    I have started hearing about LiMno4 batteries where I browse for LiFePo4 stuff. The copy is saying that it has the same safety as LifePo4, but higher power density... So far, I have only seen specs on one site... http://www.lionikbattery.com/liliz/lilipe.htm What are these and are they...

    Are there any LARGE BLDC motors?

    I am THINKING about a real-car EV conversion. Getting a small lightweight coup with a manual transmission and converting it to electric. All of the "Small" conversions I have seen use a straight DC motor with a PWM controller. The popular motors are the Warps, ADCs, and such. QUESTION: Are...

    I did a quick scan and didn't see the answer anywhere... So I can connect a KELLY controller to my Crystallyte Motor (Phoenix Cruser) does anyone have the Color codes for the phases? I think I have seen the Hall color & sequence somewhere, but it never hurts to have both in one message though...

    Working on my SECOND E-vehicle.... I will be trying to configure a kelly controller soon... (Going with A Kelly as it SEEMS more robust, won't self destruct as easily and it can take BIG wires to it to lower losses) I will need to know how many POLES it has... (want to know, it doesn't care)...

    What can a Crystalite Motor Take ?

    I know how I abuse my Phoenix Racer Motor... It gets rather warm... Question is... what would be considered excessive? My next vehicle will be using the Phoenix Cruiser as it will weigh more than a normal bike. The 20" wheels will give me even more torque... I am thinking about running 72V (2...

    Crylstalite vs Kelly controllers?

    Ok, I JUST today learned about Kelly controllers. I had been doing the research so I can rebuild my sidekick this spring to go with dual motors to get rid of the torque steer and fix some other issues with the original construction. (Any one in the MD area want to buy the first version one?)...
