Re: Rethinking the 6 x 8 volt upgrade.Lithium?
That makes sense. It's just that there's such a price difference between using 4x12 and the drop in packs, it's hard to not explore that option. With tax and shipping the drop in is just under $3000. And that's only 70Ah. The 100Ah is even more.

So not charge batteries to 100% is the solution? That is sort of best practice any ways right? Or is there any other changes that are recommended to avoid "free wheeling"? Sorry, my questions are probably off topic for this thread? |

Re: Rethinking the 6 x 8 volt upgrade.Lithium?
Look at all of the drop in options. I would go with at least 100AH. There are many more good options these days - there were none when I did it back in 2016. I would stay away from the 12V battery option.

All done rethinking the battery replacement. Eco Battery 105ah conversion kit is on the workbench. I am headed to the garage now to get started on the install.

If a downward slope isn’t at the start of your trip then sufficient charge will be removed from the battery by the time you get to the decline. A coulomb counting state of charge meter will help work it how much SOC to leave spare for regen. The other problem that may be occurring though is that the regen is providing too much charge current and the BMS is tripping out on overcurrent. Your neighbour needs to figure out what is causing the trip to find a solution. Cheers Pat. |

I purchased the Eco Battery 51v, 105ah complete kit for $2880.00 Just finished the install this afternoon. Couldn't have been easier. Waiting for the charger to get the pack to 100% and then a test drive. |
