Re: Long range lithium conversion

SELLING UP

I got the axle from IM axles last December, and it has made the van much nicer to drive. However, I am now looking to sell the vehicle if I can find the right buyer.

Re: 30 mile range car for £2k?

Grumpy has more experience than me, but I think budgeting on a 5 year life is a great under-estimate. 8, 10, 12 year battery life could be expected if you look after them. Or longer? This technology has only been around since 2005, so no-one has a pack older than 10 years to tell us how it is doing.

Mine did that while I was on the motorway with no controller cooling. Have you checked the water level in both sides of the radiator, and listened to the pumps whirring?
