6x6 EV project coming along slowly.

At least with a 6x6, there'll be plenty of room for batteries!

That was my first thought! Looks like an interesting project.

Batteries are coming down in price fast. My LiFePo4 cost Au$222 each (plus delivery) for 200Ah cells , Can now get 265Ah for $180 each (plus delivery), . That makes a huge difference & makes a conversion really affordable.

[Homestar]

Do we know any details of the conversion at all? Motor size, anticipated battery size, etc?

If someone if following him on Facebook, ask them if they can start a thread here.

He seems to be keeping the info pretty close to his chest.

Do you have more info on these batteries at this price?
Are they 12v?
Where do I get some?

TIA

They are not 12V, LiFePo4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) cells are 3.2Volts each.

You can however Buy 12V Lithium batteries but its not an economical way of buying a battery as they have 4 x 3.2V cells inside another case ,( Or a combination of banks of Smaller parallel cells in series. )

This is a single 3.2V LiFePo4 'prismatic' cell 200Ah x3C = 600 Amp discharge , $222 each , 12 months ago x 46 plus delivery set me back AU $10,500 .





This price list as about 2 months old



Best value is to buy direct from China,
