Battery Golf Cart Light Volt 
Porsche 914 EV Conversion
MAY 1, 2007
Since I'm still waiting on parts from ElectroAuto, I decided to take the plunge and do some extensive research on Lead-Acid battery technology. The 914 AC kit uses 8V golf cart batteries and I'm wondering if different batteries like Hawkers or Optima Yellow-Top batteries would be better.

It’s a series plug-in hybrid like the Chevrolet Volt. However, they also feature a connected mobile command unit, an adjustable ride height and built-in quick-charge batteries with a charging capacity of 100 to 150 kilowatts. However, the vehicle isn’t fully electric. The electric drive unit is based on one use in terminal tractors.

For North America, the electric Hummer is the first of a promised 20 or so GM EVs based on the company’s new Ultium battery and powertrain technology. Before Tesla, they were seen as nerdy golf carts, far from usable as “real cars.” The Hummer wasn’t the first of GM’s new Ultium EVs to get the green light for production.

I'm a bit wiped from the initial burst of installing all the battery racks, so I took it a bit easier on Friday and Saturday to do some of the smaller installation steps. The two one-inch holes will get grommets for the high-current battery cables connecting the front batteries with the middle pack.

Since traffic is really light on Sunday morning, I drove to work (15 miles away) and back to see how the 914 would handle. I'm not sure how much current these golf cart batteries are designed for. The battery voltage sunk from 152 volts at rest down to 132 volts after awhile during heavy acceleration.

I'm still waiting on the battery racks/boxes from ElectroAuto, so I took care of a bunch of little things that have been neglected so far. Here's the battery tray that the directions said to remove. It's a pity that we have to remove this, but the size of the golf-cart batteries clearly interfere with the latch.
