HI
I am putting together slowly the parts I need to make my first ev using lexas 450h gearbox I have so far

gearbox complete
inverter
magic box from Damion

my question is would the original battery from the Lexus be and good for start up ?
I have no idea of its volts or kw?
I have been offered some inverters that have faults are they repairable ?
who does them if they are

Long-term any recommendations on what batteries I should use and how many?

Thank you in advance

I imagine the original battery would be perfect for testing and whatnot. But would only have a couple of km range if you wanted to actually use it.

What inverters were you offered? What were the faults? Generally these units are not serviceable, however not all of the components are used for the conversion and you can often get the units working perfectly for our application with many of their internal components missing.

Many of your questions can be solved via search engines:

https://www.google.com/search?q=gs450h+ ... ry+voltage
https://www.google.com/search?q=gs450h+ ... y+capacity (first result)

Maybe try there for some of the more straightforward questions.

If this is for your personal project, the thread may be more suited to the "projects" section, I guess it depends how the thread goes.
