Default Re: Lithium Conversion (leaf battery)

I have ordered the rest of my parts $$$$ and should have them here starting early next week..
The boss (wife) is really liking the mods sofar.
So far everything has been really easy to replace. It will be a little more difficult when the real mods (battery tray replacement/fab, controller mounting, cable making, etc).
I did spring for a harbor freight hydraulic crimper for crimping the terminals on the 2awg wire. I want to make sure all high current connections are perfectly crimped. High resistance connections at 400-500 amps would be really bad.
I am also adding ANN 400amp fuse(safety) and 500 amp current shunt as they were never in the original stock system.

I am having to do a lot of research on adding disk brakes to my 94 electric marathon, I want 4 wheel disk brakes but nobody make a complete kit, only for 94.5 + medalist/txt. So it looks like I may have to swap in different front and rear axles. .
