Hi, my team is in a solar car competition and we need help/suggestions with batteries.
We need to go 40mph for as long as possible.
What would you suggest for batteries? We can use lithium and the rules say we can have a maximum of 720wh (using the nominal voltage eg 12.8v not 12v)
We were considering this drive kit from Thunderstruck
Motenergy ME1718 Motor
350 amps peak at 36 or 48v
175 amps peak at 72 or 96v

Our solar car will be about 550lbs (with driver) when completed. (the competition requires over 400 without a driver)
We would really appreciate your help!
