I guess you could bypass the interlock so the charger would work while driving… but why? The Goliath pack @Inwo has will give you an insane range… Say 100 miles. Get the pack you need to match your usage. Are you really running more than that in a day? And if you’re going to do that, why not just get a gas cart? Only reason I could think of where this would make sense if you were running some type of concession cart and you needed to power refrigerators, ice machines, etc. ---

And, if you install JATO, your regen power recovery will be amazeballs! ---

Never tried it but assuming you want to power a DeltaQ, you’ll be adding 18A and your car cruising will be pulling over 100a and peaking at over 300A As Earnie said, Interlock has to be bypassed or it won’t work Tbh I don’t think it will be the most efficient way to power a Gem and I wouldn’t recommend it. Gas Engine → DC → AC → DC again Maybe you can tell us your idea? What kind of batteries do you have? What kind of range are you looking to achieve ? ---

bypass interlock and put it in Turf mode and you might notice a few more miles but in Turf mode you’ll get more than double the range anyways. In normal road mode you’re pulling 70-100A cruising 25-30MPH and a Honda 2000i can even come close to that. ---

I have Lithium batteries that will do 100+ miles in a 2017 Gem, easy.
