Uhmm, not to shit on your parade but you realise right you have to rip these battery modules to shit. I have a ripped apart battery myself, and have seen the info/inside information on the Mercedes units.vwbrady wrote: ↑Tue Oct 20, 2020 4:08 pmturns out there is a mistake in the listing for the batteries. they are 12S modules but they mentioned you need 6 to reach 350V, which doesn't add up. so it turns out i'll actually be using 8 modules which gets me about 7kWh. or somewhere around 35mi of range (@200Wh/mi), which is good for me.RetroZero wrote: ↑Tue Oct 20, 2020 4:24 am Are the 5kwh due to total weight of the build or budget?
You are planning on using a Leaf setup. Could you post another picture of original gearbox. Trying to see if a Gen2 transaxle could work before purchasing Mk1 cabriolet... Apparently it might have to be turned around due to knocking up against radiator. Thanks
I'm using the original 4spd VW 020 transaxle, that comes in every FWD 4cyl VW up to ≈1997. I have AL plate coming from 3dhubs for the Leaf motor and the VW transaxle. I should be mocking this up at some point during Q1 2021
There is an intergrated BMS that uses mosfets to switch the battery on and communicates over lin bus. In oder to make them useable you have to remove all of this.
