Ep36 Batteries and Pulleys, 10KW 48V Electric Motor Part 3

Описание: Learning about different battery types, Flooded, AGM and Lithium with an overview in my own opinion and decision to go with flooded, 8 x 6 volt Magnacharge Deep Cell 450 Amp hour batteries, configured in series to achieve 48 volts output, DC. Aiming to cruise around 50 amps draw, we will have to test these theories. As flooded can only run 50% drain, these have a useful life sticker of 220 minutes at 25 amps/hour so I should be able to get close to 2 hours, and if my solar panels can provide some charging at the same time I should be in good shape.

In the middle of this, living in Canada, we were treated to a nice snow storm and then I was hit with some scheduling news due to the Coast Guard...

A shout-out to #GoldenMotorCanada and Muj, who helped a lot to get this conversion working through my DIY issues.

Thanks to Toronto Gear for the pulleys and timing belt, https://torontogear.com - used their online tool to figure out the parts and picked them up in Scarborough. Worked great!

Thanks to Dan Lebowitz    / @lebo_tone   for the nice music track!
