9kwh 1/2 of a full Chevy Spark 18kwh pack. 2015 8k miles. As new. No mechanical reconfiguration. Water jackets intact. Electrically connected for 24s or 20s 110ah. This has a theoretical 60 Mile range. Fitment in an E2 is in question. I have an expert on it. πŸ˜€ ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/9/9501ad0cd8e5997c7fc2dee352977117bb5eb0ef.JPG) ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/a/a42f00aed1bca3261b57e950741df62695009402.JPG) ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/7/74be753e77a8051a51f907bfaca25c3fc88049dc.JPG) ---

Bms-24 users will notice one thing that makes this configuration nice. 3 identical 8s modules connecting to the 3 ports of bms through factory harness. Depending on what accessories needed this is a $2000 to $2500 drop in system. Easily connected for high performance 24s or stock 20s. If it tests out. The other 1/2 may be available. Spark packs are rare. I think I have all the new ones! πŸ˜‰ ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/2X/a/ad350cbd0341f2adb3af9aa57df5470167ca413f.png) ---

Tracking shows bms-24s to be here Monday. I’ll test and post pictures connected to Spark modules. ---

David what would be involved in hooking up the water jackets and would their be a advantage of running water threw them. And would you run water or Anti Freeze? ---

I think if anything, air.They have heater hose barb [fittings.To](http://fittings.To) get cooling below ambient, a swamp cooler?Use distilled or treated water and a small pump.Some type of evaporator to cool. Or go high tech with peltier cooling.Use antifreeze and gravity circulation. ---

Our Volt occasionally starts up its fan and coolant pump (separate system from engine) when plugged in charging, or not, on a hot day here in Los Angeles. How hot do you find the cells running? ---

Video of install in the works. Grant, modules marked black, blue, and red. Only difference is that the red is,tapped for 22s. That way you can disconnect #23 & 24 from bms. One more set of these if someone wants to play along. ---

Hi. I am up to a lithium converson on my 2005 eS. i will use Nissan 2015 e-NV200/leaf modules. They are pretty open for contamination. Is there anyone that have build housing for the pack and maybe also heating solution they are willing to share with me. I live in Stockholm Sweden and my doughter shall have it to school also during wintertime. //Alien ---
