    Thanks. We are running Kokam cells in liquid cooled modules.

    ELMOFO Electric Racer beats field of petrol cars...twice

    Team ELMOFO had some success against the gassers in Round 4 of the NSW State Championships Supersport series. Not entirely sure if an electric race car winning a sanctioned race over gas powered cars is a world first as stated.....but doing twice in one day would certainly put it up there...

    Electric DeLorean using A123 7s3p Modules

    The strong winds certainly changed the amount of things on display. We, along with most others, had a lot of gear we didn't bring or put up as it would have been blown away. Have other commitments this weekend, but will try to get out to the go-kart track sometime Sunday afternoon.

    Electric DeLorean using A123 7s3p Modules

    Thank you. Yes....required Engineering Certification which was pretty involved. All points that needed to be satisfied made sense from a safety perspective. The VCSS Engineer that certified the vehicle had not done an EV conversion before so was very thorough. Just when it seemed that we were...

    Electric DeLorean using A123 7s3p Modules

    The amount of regen is adjustable. I typically have it set to give about 30 to 50 Amps which is quite a comfortable retardation level. This level requires much less use of the brakes, but doesn't try to launch you through the windscreen. :-) The A123s seem to handle that easily. I haven't...

    Electric DeLorean using A123 7s3p Modules

    Will be at the show on Sat 18th only. Joining some mates in the Variety Children's Charity Bash the next day (not in this car) so won't be able to stick around for the challenges unfortunately. See you at the show.

    Electric DeLorean using A123 7s3p Modules

    We are pretty busy, but give us a call if you would like to have a look at the vehicle and we'll work something out, but note that it will be at the Hunter Valley EV Show in Newcastle on Aug 18th. With regards to the range, the 150km would be a pretty accurate estimate. I have so far driven a...

    Electric DeLorean using A123 7s3p Modules

    The speedo has both kph and mph. The standard DeLorean speedo only goes up to 85mph....not 95mph as per the movies. This was due to some safety campaign in the US back in the 80's where they thought that having high numbers on speedos was encouraging people to try to reach those high speeds, so...

    Electric DeLorean using A123 7s3p Modules

    The motor provides 500Nm torque, so the acceleration is great. :) I still have a bunch of A123 modules here that I will be playing with in the near future. I will report back when I have pulled one down.

    Purchasing from ShenZhen Victpower Technology

    Maybe this is because they have a new pouch cell they are producing? See: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/a123-says-battery-technology-evs-143720612.html

    The motor is great. It has a stack of torque and makes some really cool sounds. :D I will send you a PM of some other details.

    Electric DeLorean using A123 7s3p Modules

    A few months back I was among the "unhappy campers" purchasing A123 modules from Victpower for use in my electric vehicle project. While my business dealings with them were frustrating and disappointing to say the least, I am pleased to report that I managed to pull together enough modules to...

    Dr.Bass Steveo found 7s3p Module! Awesome Price!!

    I reckon they would be charging $18 per cell....but let us know if you hear any different. :-)

    Dr.Bass Steveo found 7s3p Module! Awesome Price!!

    Yes.....I seen that today and thought exactly the same thing. It would appear that these are modules abandoned by A123 part way through the production process? Good that they are already packaged and compressed......bad that there are not too many options for joining the tabs. :?

    Why is all the text on the taobaoenglish.com site in Chinese.....and unable to be translated? :(

    Dr.Bass Steveo found 7s3p Module! Awesome Price!!

    Are you sure they are empty boxes? They look like complete modules to me. Got the compression straps, busbars, etc. :?

    Ha! I think you're onto something there. :D I wonder how the little input shaft on the transaxle will handle all that grip?

    A123 Pouch Cell Recovery

    Hey Michael, Thanks.....I probably should have done a little more research about what the 6 and 8 meant in the model number before buying the PowerLab. I ordered on recommendation from someone who didn't need to do more than 6s. I guess I'll just have to fork out for the PL8 and maybe sell the...

    A123 Pouch Cell Recovery

    I agree with your theory. While the cells seem to charge up ok, I'm not expecting much from the modules that contain the recovered cells and haven't included them in my packs. I will eventually replace the low cell groups with good ones from other packs....but would like to do a few controlled...

    EV Battery Pack using A123 7s3p Modules

    Yes...volume was one of the other issues. I had the Headway packs designed into this project....but I just couldn't press the order button cos' they weren't what I was looking for. I was considering Kokam at nearly 4 times the price, then the loose A123 pouch cells.....then these modules came...

    EV Battery Pack using A123 7s3p Modules

    Heavy for a bike.....but not for a car. Weight is approx. 150kg. Same capacity in Headways would be at least 165kg + link bars + holders + frame.....and the Headways may not deliver enough current.
