Re: (ET) E-20 Rebuild w/Electronic Controller Kit

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

I'd like to help, but I'm sorry to say that I'm not too well acquainted 
with lithium batteries.  I have some, and use them, but they're all 
relatively small ones, and I got them as complete pre-built packages.

There's a lot of power and energy in those little cells, and I'm not quite 
ready to get up close and personal with them yet.  Maybe someday.

That said, I notice on the EV list that these days most folks who use 
lithium batteries in conversion road EVs seldom use the Chinese LiFePO4s 
that were common 12-15 years ago, such as CALB.

Now they go for either used or new/surplus modules from production EVs.  
Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt modules have been popular for a while.  Bolt 
modules are coming on.  I've started to see a few folks talking about 
Tesla 
stuff too.

If you're interested in checking out what people are saying about lithium 
on the EV list, you can search the archive here:

Full disclosure: I manage the EV list, but I don't get any kind of 
benefit, 
financial or otherwise, from it, or from people joining or using it.  On 
the contrary, it costs me something to keep going, though not a lot.
