Open Source Civic EV Kit
MAY 31, 2008
The original CivicWithACord design used 18 8-volt golf cart batteries. All the AGMs and Gels I've tried though are stinky on the discharge, if not as much as golf cart floodies. My battery box has an exhaust fan, but still its an imperfect setup. So thats disappointing.

It's a pity that we have to remove this, but the size of the golf-cart batteries clearly interfere with the latch. The three-phase AC cable from the motor was too short to actually pass through the 2-inch hole I drilled as suggested in the directions (barely shown at the bottom edge of the above picture).
