Bolt Battey Install

Here is the finished product

Then I had to make some spacer blocks at the bottom

Make a template for the back board. I’ll buy one from you.
Makes my plywood look like crap.

Battery is Ready for lift off

Way too easy. Terminal clearance?

Terminal Clearance!!! It’s gonna work.

Only thing is I’m gonna have to make a New seat support because when the battery is kicked out towards the plastic (so the battery can lay back) it covers up the spot where the factory seat support go’s O well it’s a small price to pay for how things have gone this far. I can’t believe how smooth this things slid in with just me and the lift. It was so easy.

I cut the bottom leg off, intending to build new. Once I bolted it back in from aluminum to front fiberglass, called it good.
I did have to notch for top corner of battery. You may not have to.

It’s ALIVE

All hooked up going for a test ride now

How about an update in case you don’t get back from the ride?

INWO , look what you started . Grants probably out testing range , based on the size of that pack might be a day or two until he reports back !

Grant , nice work !

I’m just cleaning up wires now. The Blue car was hella fast. This one with 80v seems like a stock gem compaired to the Blue car. Running 98v man that thing was fast.

But I can already tell the rang in this is gonna be huge. Is a compromise I’m willing to accept now. I’m super happy with the battery and install.

Thanks Dave you have been a great help. Im getting back to work now

Only need to find one more Bolt to have 3 pcs 8s modules. Should I hang on to the 2 pcs I have? :wink:

I figure that I will only need to charge mine semiannual.

Here is what the end install looked like. I’m calling it a day. I’m gonna go take a swim in the lake. 95 all day today HOT HOT HOT

You can see power comes in from the passenger side I mounted the fuse on the plastic. (Passenger side rear passenger) then the red B+ cable go’s all the way to drivers side. B- comes in Drivers side and go’s up to the shunt .(Drivers side rear passenger) and then go’s across to pretty much dead center of the batter for B-
