My conversion yielded about 3/4 the volume, less than half the weight and 4 times the usable power vs the lead. I also gained slightly higher voltage and a HUGE difference in voltage under load(way more punch). The difference is huge.
This is getting better and better. So instead of 12 6s 5000 mah packs to have 30 amps, I could just go with 8 packs for 20 amps which would be more than enough. Even smaller, lighter and cheaper. With just 8 packs I might even be able to get Hyperions. So have you decided on how much these modules are going to go for? I'd like a snap on lid to protect the balance tabs please
And can you make a single module that can house 8 lipos? I figure that I would have to cut the bus bars.


No brain, no headaches.
