Greetings everyone,
I have a 2011 ZEV 6100 (http://zelectricvehicle.com/17.html)
Right now it has 24 40AH LIFePO4 cells with a 100A draw, which gives me a max charge of around 87.6V. That gives me around 27-28Ah which translates to about 25-30 miles at around 35-40 mph. My job is moving to a new location so my 10.5 mile commute is turning into 23, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it all the way with my current capacity.
So, a friend recommended I come here to get some options for some kind of additional battery pack to give me a little bit more range.
My charging system is made up of two Mean Well HRP-600-48's (https://www.arrow.com/en/products/hrp-600-48/mean-well-enterprises), and I would want to be able to use that for whatever I add on.
I imagine I could switch to 60AH cells but that would require a new BMS and probably a much bigger project than I want to take on at the moment.
Thanks for any help that can be offered. I'll do my best to answer any questions but my knowledge of electronics is still pretty limited.
