Elecsol AGM
Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2012 3:09 pm
Hi,
I have read a lot about Elecsol batteries letting people down prematurely in the past and clearly that will stick in peoples minds. But surely if the truth be known, 1 year on and especially 10 or more years on that company & technology has moved with the times or would not survive.
I am thinking of using the Elecsol AGM batteries, around 150ah in a 144v pack 12x12v for an EV conversion as they state suitable for EV use and backed up with long warranty.
If they are used within there limits and also importantly, charged correctly I would like to think they would give good service.
Ok I know Trojan is the magic battery for EV's if you don't go lithium but these (new type Elecsols) are trying to compete and exceed the competition.
Right after all that, I mean me trying to justify buying them, has anyone out there actually tried them in a conversion?
