A123 Motorcycle Battery?

[zeropointbug]

....so add some capacitors to the pack, clean the power up IF it were a problem. IMO, you don't need caps.

Redshift, I have 30 55Ah Yellow Tops (AGM spiral wound) waiting to be place in an electric truck conversion. An A123 pack 1/7 the weight has the same punch and power as the best lead acid batt.

A123 starter batts do actually make sense in the long term.

As you mentioned, and as would be my concern, will A123 take a 'dirty' charge directly from the rectifier? And why would you want a messy cluster of a battery.. the new AGM batteries are supposed to be the shiz and cost about the same as a gel cell.

Not to be the skeptic, I'm known for doing odd stuff like this, but what is the objective?

Curious

Yeah, I just wanted to free up some weight and space. The factory tool kit is in the trunck on the bike, and most of it could be put with the battery if i went a123. I picked up a new agm battery for the bike today. Need to get it running before I do anything else. Might even sell it.

Seems like a great usage for a123 cells. Hows that electric truck conversion coming along ZPB?

And what does ZPB mean?
