Chevy Volt / Navitas AC - New Build
Quote:
I am looking to upgrade my 1998 48V DS to Lithium. My old Ranger 160s are done. I keep flipping back and forth between a DIY kit with (2) of the 16S Volt cells (tapped at 14S) vs a pre built 200ah pack from Extreme Team Carts. Here’s my dilemma; my cart is strictly an off road/hunting cart. It’s currently lifted with 23” tires, an old 700A Logisystems controller, 10.2HP D&D torque motor, HD F/R switch (want to do a contractor swap on this) and HD solenoid wired with 1/0 welding leads. My cart gets WORKED. We have lots of steep draws and hills where I hunt and I need a pack that can deliver lots of power sometimes sustained for 30 seconds or more. I’ve never installed a shunt to monitor current but I have burned out a F/R switch and 400A solenoid in the past. I just don’t want to pay a lot of $$ for a fancy pre built pack and it have the BMS system shut it off. I want it to be able to deliver full current when I need it, not just for inrush. This is also why I’m wanting to run the 14S pack to take advantage of the higher voltage without having to go to a 72V setup. Since Logisystems is no longer in business I have no way of knowing if it would work with the full voltage if I decided to run all 16 cells of the pack at ~65V. From your post it appears the Volt cells can deliver the current needed of it doesn’t have a BMS to cut it off prematurely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I would be interested in how you made your Chevy Volt battery 14S. I’ve seen a couple of methods none of which look very safe so I’m all ears. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
