Re: (ET) 48v electrac

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

Years ago, Mark Hanson changed his ET to 48 volts using 8v golf car 
batteries.  He had fitted his homemade electronic controller, which didn't 
do FW, and he wanted the high top speed back.  

Mark used a separate controller to drop the 48v to 36v for the deck and 
other accessories.  Being a EE with lots of EV experience, Mark knows what 
he's doing, so I'd say that applying 48v to the deck (etc) is probably not 
a 
good idea.

    Their talk was the talk of sordid buccaneers: it was 
    reckless without hardihood, greedy without audacity, 
    and cruel without courage; there was not an atom of 
    foresight ... in the whole batch of them, and they did 
    not seem aware these things are wanted for the work of 
    the world.
