48 V DC / 200 Ah / 10 kWh, (L x W x H) 520 x 218 x 320 mm, (Weight) 50kg. The evoTractionBattery, on the other hand, can be configured within a few hours, whether it’s being used in a golf cart or a lorry. The integrated battery management system enables master-slave operation as well as connection of the batteries to a CAN bus.

These high-capacity 8-volt golf-cart batteries are 70 pounds apiece. I pre-laid out these batteries on the floor to guestimate what the connections between the terminals were. I've got an e-mail into ElectroAuto for some connection diagrams, but haven't received the files yet. Tonight was an evening of heavy lifting.

In the process, I got some two-conductor wire to make the connections to the potbox switch and backup-light switch cleaner. Note that the pink quick-disconnects are tied to the right two terminals and not the far left and far right terminals as in the original DC design. Here's the somewhat finished potbox.

One of the other 914 kit converters questioned why the accessory battery couldn't stay in the original tray, but I decided to remove it anyway and have the accessory battery up in the front trunk near the DC/DC converter.

The fact that no journalists do their research to bring up all those connections is sad, sad. You guys go ahead and buy your 40 mile per charge GM golf cart. So is the management in Washinton DC. Why cant they just pull out the EV1 again? Call it the EV2? I guarantee well never see the Volt. Same tricks, different decade.
