I have a 100 or so tested green cells again. $50 each in 10 packs or a few 9 cell modules that I can break up. Use 24s to 27s for 72v Gem. 300a peak means it is better to use 2p for long life if you can find room. 50+ pcs gets into discount mentioned in my other post. Also with 50+, free balance boards while they last. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/a/abb88ec6e49ea33d3c93c5360ff1f4c6d93ceec5.jpeg) ---

Any ideas on how many will fit under the seat and how many more in the nose of an e825 cauck? er… CArt-trUCK? Having all kinds of FLA headaches right now, but I don’t know if a 60Ah pack will give me the range I need. Might have to go 2p or find a bolt/volt/schmaltz battery or something… Was really hoping to get 2 years out of the FLAs, but at 6 months, I’m down to 12 mile range… ---

These will only do 20 miles tops 25mph level ground. ![5s%20dimensions](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/d/dc66bf8d47cbbabb1d56d3d908aac9140a256f84.jpeg) A double set fits easily in my 2008 el. I also have a Chevy Bolt battery. 160ah if budget permits. And a Tesla3 module 240ah I think. 20kwh in any case. ---

Thanks. Will take some measurements and see what fits. Need to also go smack NAPA around see if they will do anything about the FLAs. Wish I wasn’t so wishy washy on this stuff for your sake - maybe this just isn’t the right EV for me. I’m pushing 300+ miles a month, sometimes heavily loaded, sometimes not, always driven in binary though. Maybe I’m just too hard on the batteries… ---

Yes, you need a big battery. A Bolt is easiest, but \>$3000. $3500 wired w bms ready to drop in. 50 mile range. Tesla is 100m range. Less money but 6’ long. The first Gem/Tesla will get a deal. Several on here think it can be done handily. > [@Lithium Conversion](https://community.electricforum.com/t/lithium-conversion/17122/12): > > The Tesla 3 batt will fit under a E4 with no problem.

What are the charger requirements for the Tesla battery though? Probably need a 220v circuit? ---

No, a DeltaQ is fine. It will put in 4 miles per hour. Option of fast charging if you want. Lithium doesn’t care about partial charge cycles. ---

How much will be the 24s ---

Green cells or Tesla? Tesla are 23s and 25s. ---

I’m a bit confused. How many of these would I need to rid my life of these damn lead batteries? ---

Same question. Tesla or lfp cells. 24-28 lfp cells. ~10-30 miles. 1pc 23s or 25s Tesla module. ~$2500 I just listed a 25s lfp set in “for sale”. $1500 Tesla is 4x the capacity. Should be ~100 mile range.
