After discovering some issues with Dyno batteries in certain conversions of others, I am going with a tried and tested battery manufacturer - US Battery. The battery I have in mind is the US-125XC. I am talking with the regional sales rep about getting a reasonable quote for 16 of these.

The good news is, I can order these batteries with SAE automotive posts, which preserves most of my cabling.
A nice link to show how many different posts are available. Jeez.

DC/DC is in (again!)
The Belktronix DC/DC arrived this weekend, now configured to take 96VDC in instead of 192VDC. I reinstalled in without a hitch. The next challenging task is to reposition the cooling pump and radiator for the Zilla. Originally, the pump (a standard aquarium pump) and the mini-radiator that stores the cooling fluid were mounted in (yet another) poly cutting board section that was mounted to the battery rack. Since the batteries are now going to be taller, this may not work anymore.
