Now the test engineers for the 2011 Chevrolet Volt have taken their extended-range electric vehicle up the twisty 19-mile road to the top of Pike's Peak, a grueling test used by.

Considering Different Batteries
Open Source Civic EV Kit
MAY 31, 2008
The original CivicWithACord design used 18 8-volt golf cart batteries. After some debate on the Google Group and dealing with clutch-link interference issues, I'm tending towards 12-volt group-31 AGM batteries for the initial design. So thats disappointing. As stinky is another way of saying not healthy to breathe.

Before Tesla, they were seen as nerdy golf carts, far from usable as “real cars.” Once Tesla started selling the Model S in 2012, EVs became high-tech accessories, signifying drivers’ cutting-edge status as owners of the latest and coolest automotive technology (something the Nissan LEAF or Chevy Volt struggled to convey).

Measuring State-of-Charge on Lead Acid Batteries

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. Both US-Battery and Trojan have 8-volt golf-cart batteries. With the AC system, I'll probably be pulling less amps and am looking forward to the extended range.

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. The controller cuts current to the motor if the voltage drops, so I definitely lost power on the uphill exit ramp off the freeway.

It's a pity that we have to remove this, but the size of the golf-cart batteries clearly interfere with the latch. It turns out that the positive wire to the horn is also tied directly to the positive terminal of the 12-volt system. Here's the sawed off hood latch. The 914 uses pressure from the spare tire (??!!)
