Hi Len and All, 2 5kwh, 120vdc nom Volt modules would by far be
the best, lowest cost solution. And for charging just add an HB404 wthr meter
and a contactor to cut the voltage off at fully charged using your present
charger likely. Each take about the same space as 2.5 of your 12vdc
lead batteries. And cost $1500-$2300 buying modules, not much more than lead,
less than premium lead. Since 2 modules will put out 2k amps and
weigh much less, lead EVs I've sold them for nicely increase both range and
pickup even with the same rated kwh. And one can add another module or 2 for
more range. My rebuild of my EV trike pickup into the subcar it was
suppose to be I'll put 2 5kwh modules in it for about 120 mile range. Could
put in 250 miles worth. Jerry Dycus

Lawrence: Do you have any suggestions for our old VW Jetta conversion?
It currently uses ten 115 Ah Group 27DC lead-acids.
