Re: What batteries do I need?
|
I don't have any drawings, I just used alltrax directions... But, the f/r contactor needs some rewiring on the control side. I have it set up so the keyswitch runs a solenoid ( I used my old solenoid from the resistor circuits) basically it has a 12v coil. So keyswitch turns it "on". The secondary circuit I have it switching 48v for the alltrax to turn on, and for the footswitch on the pb-6. That runs back to the alltrax. 2nd thing to do is to change the wiring so that fnr contactor actually switches with the switch, rather than the switch then the gas pedal. The goal is to have key on, and when fnr is selected the contacts move.? The new main solenoid does the footswitch now, not the fnr solenoid. Confused?? Let me know and I'll try and clear up any questions. I attached a couple pics of how it looks.?

? ?Great to see this form blow up with conversations! I have read most of these posts, you mentioned you installed and altrax 48600 controller. I'm about to do the same, I still have the original three phase contact system in my 1980 Comuta-car. I'm a
bit confused about wiring the new system with a new? pb 6 throttle, new main contactor, f/r contactor (new or keep original) , and last but not least, where to put the charging leads. I'll dig more into it when the parts come in but if you had some pointers
or drawings, that would be great.

Price is what you can find... But I have interstate gc2-ecl-utl. 115 min @75a 225ah@20 hrs. On my 6hp dana I can get 38mph max. Depending bon tire pressure. 40 miles is my ablsoute max. That can vary depending on many things, wind, temp, braking,
tire pressure,passenger, phase of moon, mood I'm in.
It's the farthest my batteries take me safely, but it is dangerous close and no big hill at the end.??

I¡¯m not very clear on how amps and amp hours work.
Ultimately I looking for a clear answer.
I have an all original Comutacars.
I would love to go the 38mph and 40 mile range.
But don¡¯t want to spend $200 or 300. Per. Battery.
Feel free to explain what I¡¯m looking for or provide a link of what I need.
Thanks in advance.
