Three battery strings, starting performance testing

Quest for an Electric Porsche Boxster.



Battery input limited to 450A for safety and break in. Controller output voltage limited to 2000A and 170V. K2 recommended max performance for our pack will be up to 840A input for 30s hopefully without significant damage to batteries. At low speeds we think the controller will convert high voltage at low speed into more amperage making better use of the Zilla Z2K 2000A potential.

Flywheel required machine work to resolve clutch engagement noise scraping adapter plate. Realignment cured the loose rear end. Drove it about 12 miles today without much change in battery voltage. It is fast. More performance testing in next 2 weeks.
