Thanks for the info, is there a cheaper way to go, battery wise? with the same power
as the chevy module?
No.
Best, most powerful, cheap, and long lasting hybrid EV cells you can buy from a OEM manufacturer. For electrick motorcycles.
If you are after cheap power.
If you are after superduper long range at the cost of power, you can buy a larger, longer range at slower speed, less powerful battery for about 4x more money.
I have a friend with a homebuilt Volt scooter battery that does 1.8 sec to 60mph and breaks 100 mph on a Yuma hub motor. 1800 amps.
I have another friend with a 273 motor with a 96v Chevy battery from a Volt ( 2x, 44v,12s nominal modules in series for 24s, 88v nominal, 100v fully charged... ) on a Hayabusa.
One thing. dont let old coolant sitinthe module channels. The coolant is bad for the cells. Wash it out good.
Also....... I charge my Chevy Volt cells at 15-25A. One hour. Single cells. The cells are ganged up when they are in teh OEM modules.. so...
...IN the module, you can charge at 50A to make a 1 hour charge. You would need to charge at 50 amps to chargethe bike in one hour.
It will take along time with only 6 amps.
600w charger wont cut it unless you want to wait 10 hours per charge.
.....you need like 6000w charger to charge in one hour.
OEM battery took a 60,000w charge input. In the original car as configured ) (@ 96s). OEM battery was designed for 120kW output and 430 Amps for 8 years.
