Countdown to lithium battery arrival...

The SE100AHAs arrive in February. In preparation, I have been getting the rest of the car hardware ready, and creating diagrams for how this is all going to come together. Here is the front pack:

and here is the rear pack:The red/black interconnects will be copper straps provided by the battery supplier (EV components) along with the fittings. The orange interconnects are most likely 2 AWG gauge welding cable interconnects for those odd corners and end connectors.

The custom controller cooling tank I designed also arrived. It is a 2.5 gallon reservoir (much larger than the original Zilla radiator), and has custom fittings to allow connection of the aquarium pump and hose. I also have marine lock-down straps for both the tank and the larger 12V auxiliary battery that I will be ordering soon.

Counting the days!
