Re: VW EL1

Looks very good indeed, but will anything like it come to mass market soon?
I hope so, but won't (also can't, not for long enough...) "hold my breath"

Re: Ping Batteries in cold weather

I asked Mr. Ping last summer if he could build a 72v.dc pack for a motorcycle I am building (very slowly!) He replied that he did not have proven kits for sale at that level presently, however....... In re 36v.dc packs, he offered an affordable BMS allowing me far more amps He did warn me that incre...

Re: Ping Batteries in cold weather

I briefly used a schottky diode to safely run the Ping-pack in series with a 36v.dc SLA pack (This pack comprised 3 22ah.12v.dc golf-trolley batteries, used on the "Junkyard Dog") The extra boost allowed an extra 8-10 miles range when running in road-legal mode (Old 36v.dc 4-brush pm motor...

Re: Ping Batteries in cold weather

Er, Chris, (and always remembering how vastly much I don't know about all this.....) I asked the excellent Mr. Ping about using this 36v pack in series for 72v.dc He said best in parallel, (because of main cable gauge, I think?) Does a similar, (lesser?), constraint apply, 24v+36v? (Just my tuppence...

Re: Ping Batteries in cold weather

Hi, guys, thanks for all the effort on specification, much more reliable than my vague guesses (which is why I try to say only things I feel sure of, but which are thus, well, a bit simple) I would be very happy to see the Ping-pack/BMS and charger being put to a proper use I am not sure how much to...
