ram pickup hybrid 48 volt battery

[_ogre]

anyone look at the new ram hybrid 48 volt battery for use in a golf cart?
couldn't find anything on the battery itself, possible it's to new
430 watt-hour isn't monstrous, but wired in series?

Fiat Chrysler calls the system “eTorque,” and it consists of a small, air-cooled 48-volt, 430 Watt-Hour lithium-ion battery pack mounted in the cab behind the rear seats; a Motor Generator Unit, or MGU, that replaces the alternator on the internal combustion engine’s front end accessory drive; and a DC to DC converter that allows the 48-volt battery to charge the 12-volt battery and power the vehicle’s accessories.

First we need to get some on the street for them to find their way to salvage yards. I think this is the same system they are planning for the new Jeep Wrangler as well. If FCA is using it in most of their large vehicles, it should become common at salvage yards.

Looks interesting.

430 watts is close to a 7 module leaf pack at 500 watts, and I bet is about the same as a single module volt pack.
