I kept this off the forum while PeterP was on holiday, but now he has asked me to tell the world what I have done.
WHAT HAVE I DONE??!!
I have ordered 204 cells of 200Ah capacity, to give me 800 Ah at 162v (4 strings of 51) in order to give my Berlingo a predicted range of 320 miles (and zero payload, they will weigh around 1000kg)
I chose to buy them from TYC Track Ltd of Southport, Merseyside. They supply batteries made by China Hipower at a cost of around $1.50 /Ah/cell, so I am paying around £36,000 for my set delivered to Liverpool docks.
Other cells are available- 50, 100 and 600 Ah from memory. I'm not sure what minimum orders, or bulk deals can be done. Anyone wanting that information should ring David Cowperthwaite at TYC. He has joined this forum recently (after I placed my order) and may well be along in a moment to speak for himself.
I will write up the fitting process in another thread in the PSA section, when I receive my cells. I have a lot of work ahead of me.
