Hi EVerybody; Pretty impressive stuff Dennis has gotten into! And with #$%^# Led acids, too! Same crappy tech that gives me about half my range in 20 degree...
And if he leaves the lithium in the dragster and the lead in the S10 there may be a chance I could run into the two of you somewhere down south near the end of...

Hey, ev gods, can you help a low voltage guy out? How does the performance differ from an EP-16 and a XE-16 ? My 16 string pack of ep-16's sag to 6 volts all...
Hello Brian and All, ... Brian, if you limit the current to a max of 750 amps, the EX16s sag to 7.2V when they're hot and race-ready...lower when they're cold....
Guess I should turn things down some, and add another string,,,,so that looks like about 7.2 hp per battery. thanks Brian Hello Brian and All, ... Brian, if...
Mine do about the same as John's. I get about a 1.5 second period in parallel mode as the Duty Cycle nears maximum that we're pulling the pack to 6.6V. Once...

Hey Thanks bill, I have already have heaters on the batteries, I start them out at about 90F and after two runs they hit over 105f. anyone ever used ac to heat...
Bill, Brian, Heating them up doesn't seem to be a problem that we have. 2 runs at 1500 amps and they are pretty much up to temperature. The trick is applying...
Will an advanced DC L91 motor work OK at neutral timing at 48 volts? Reason being, the motor when advanced is the wrong rotation for my application. I was...
Darin, Neutral will be fine for 48 volts. We usually advance timing when overvoltaging. Can you tell me why you are under voltaging this motor. How do you...
I Think that if you have advanced the timing so far that it runs the other direction, you have gone too far and it would be retarded for the wrong way. Brian ]...

My choice was between the L91 and a smallish golf cart motor. My motor mount was built to accept either. This is for the World Electric Tractor Pulling...
Darin, As I remember in tractor pulling you pull a weighted sled and I think it is for more than ten seconds. I could be wrong. The point I am trying to make...
