once registered.. there is a paywall per session.. so choose carefully.
How can this help us to share info, shematics and manuals ?
If you aren't using the battery, there's no reason to use the BMS, use something more suited to the battery you're building.
Really if you're not using the entire drivetrain as-is, similar to how rich-rebuilds built his rat rod, you're pretty much just going to want to use the motor and controller. Everything else is too integrated to be worth the hassle.
the battery (modules/cells) i would be replacing with the telsa modules.
I think you're mixing up some terminology here. Are you using bare tesla cells or are you saying you're using 15 full tesla modules? Seems like you're trying to use modules but you keep saying cells.
cells in my mind were the modules, being each module is a cell so i interchanged the components name so i apologise for that..
At any rate it seems like you need to do a lot more research and figure out exactly what you need for your project. You need to figure out how much power and capacity you need and work backwards from there.
If you're planning on converting a car, with a motor and controller from a motorcycle, you're going to have pretty underwhelming performance.
Start with the basics. How powerful was the motor in the stock car, and how powerful do you need it to be after its converted? As a very general rule, 1HP = 0.73KW. Now there are a lot of differences between how gas and electric motors are rated, but calculating how many KW you need like this will at least get you within the ballpark. Zero rates the motor in the SR as 70 hp or 52 kW. Just slightly above the 65hp your kia's motor is rated at. Are you going to be happy with the car if it has very nearly the same power after converted?
yes i will be happy as i'm looking to stay within the cars approximate spec, just electrically.. the car itself is built as an "econocar" so i'm planning to stick with that until i gain more experience and understanding as well as a logical practical "experience" with an electric ev. i could go hire an ev and ride around for an hour and gain that first too. i basically want to transplant the bikes motor and controller into the car and wire it into the cars ignition, modding the kia picanto key to house the rfid chip to communicate with the bikes ignition circuit.
Back to your question, the SR has a 102v nominal battery pack. The controller is a Sevcon Gen 4 Size 6, capable of 550a for 120 seconds or 660a for 10 seconds.
i'm thinking i'll be driving highway speeds at maximum, which here is 100km/h so not overly stressing the motor.. i basically want to just be able to hit the car's max speed and that's it.. not a race car more a daily if all goes well.
Keep in mind that the programming environment for this controller is $900 and product support form sevcon is $150/hr. So if you plan to do any customization to it you should absolutely know what you are getting into.
i plan on keeping it stock until i understand how this setup works for this car.
Wrong sub-forum it seems.
