Measuring State-of-Charge on Lead Acid Batteries

Porsche 914 EV Conversion

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.

Practical aspects of off-grid EV charging

Charged EVs

The most common choices of battery type are lithium iron phosphate (aka LFP or LiFePO 4 ), all of the other lithium-ion chemistries (including recycled batteries from junked EVs), and, finally, lead-acid. The last option is venerable old lead-acid, though perhaps it’s best to relegate it to the proverbial dustbin of history.

The difference between lithium iron phosphate and lithium battery

Setec Powerr

Fast charging. charging for 40 minutes, that can make the battery complete. The actual specific capacity is low, with poor electrical conductivity, slow diffusion of lithium ions, and high times when charging and discharging. Light electric vehicles: electric bicycles, golf carts, electric wheelchairs, etc.
