I got the recalibrated PakTrakr back a few weeks ago and finally had some time to install it tonight. First of all, I needed to install two modules with six batteries apiece, so I split the battery pack into two halves. Third, I installed each PakTrakr terminal loop from the lowest voltage up to the highest voltage and tightened the battery terminal at each step. With the PakTrakr installed, I now have a good tool for seeing which batteries are dying first. MORE

Tim, happy to get the controller installed A closer view of the Azure Dynamics AC motor controller. After purchasing hardware from Home Depot to install the controller plate, I came home and drilled all the required holes for the mounting bolts. After squirting all the aluminum and metal caulk around the plate, I realized that I couldn't tighten any of the bolts myself because one end was on top of the car and the nuts were under the car. MORE
With the holes drilled and rivnuts installed, I then used 10-24 bolts 1 1/2" long with lock washers to bolt in each pair of resistors. In order to shunt current around each fully charged battery, the BatMon boards use an external 3 ohm resistor. Since mounting these resistors involves drilling holes in metal, I wanted to mount them before mounting the BatMon boards to prevent metal shavings from sprinkling into the electronics. MORE
Here's the final installation of the socket with lid. At some point, I guess we have to charge this thing. Most people like to be clever and put the charging outlet under the gas tank cover. I don't like this because it's near the back of the car, away from most charging station outlets at parking spaces. It also requires more routing of wire to get to the charger. Instead, I chose to simply cut a hole in the side of the front bumper and use a charging outlet from a boating store. MORE
