Thanks Anthony The Scrappie did ask was I the chap that had phoned before and about the battery. It would have been a lot better if they had it! I am getting 100 HiPower 50 Ah Cells so will be interesting to see where they can fit. Will need to build 50 more BMS modules so this is going to take a wh...

Hi All I have been giving some thought to battery cooling. I understand the Leaf uses air cooling as well as heating if temperature were too low. I may be mistaken but I seem to have noticed the battery getting hotter when driving economically at 40 mph than when driving at 70 mph which seems counte...

Grumpy I think the charger is on top of the motor as the charge socket connects there. I assume the battery voltage was 300v on this version although 14 KWh so less than 50Ah. As you say it is hard to find the information on the net but I will keep trying as you have found it previously. I have just...

Thanks Grumpy-B I had come to a similar conclusion. Was bidding on a 2008 this morning but let it go as bit too dear. It had front damage so not ideal. I am really looking for one with a blown engine. Unsure if the Roadster of Four-four are at all similar. Bit unsure about the source of the running ...

Tim Thanks for coming back. It is a 2011 Smart that I have cannibalised so the latest of the three versions? Yes I agree its ridiculous but the vehicle has been sold to a scrap yard on a break only clause. Nothing actually wrong with the chassis other than slight distortion of one flange at the fron...

Sent you a pm about your sale.

I chose the Smart running gear because no adaption required and aircon and regen braking available.

I believe there are three versions of Smart electric, which did you work on?

Hi I am about to start converting a Smart using parts from an electric Smart. Does anyone have any useful information? All I have found so far is that a company Zytek supplies the propulsion package which has three connections 12v, 300v and water. The battery pack replaces the fuel tank. There must ...

Anyone know the voltage and amp-hours of the smart electric battery? I am off to buy a set of running gear to convert a fossil smart to electric spec but the battery is rented and retained by the manufacturer. I have read that it has 17.6 KWh and 300v so just short of 60Ah. Any other info much appre...

I spent twice as much on a lithium set-up and am really pleased I did. They last 10 times as long and go much better.

All the Ecotricity fast chargers at the service areas have 3 phase as well as chademo DC. I am not certain if you can use both at once?
