Recent Conversion - 1982 Mazda B2000 Pickup - $6,400
>
> I recently finished the conversion on this vehicle. I used new and low
> mileage parts where ever possible. It only has about 100 miles on the
> conversion, so the new parts (like batteries) are still pretty new. Here
> are the specs:
>
> * 96 volt system using 16 6-volt Trojan T-105 deep cycle, purchased
> new 11/2003. The T-105 is the long-life leader in this battery class.
> * 9" Advanced DC motor connected to standard 5-speed transmission
> * 1231C Curtis 500A controller w/warranty, large heat sink mounting
> * On board K&W BC-20 110V charger (adjustable voltage and current
> w/smart charging)
> * Avcon Level2 charging connector (allow charging from public charging
> stations), and 220V connector for home use)
> * Adjustable charging current level to adapt to charging source
> (1-20A)
> * Curtis 300 watt DC/DC Converter w/full I/O isolation to prevent
> drain
> * Ceramic heater w/correct relay, incorporated into dash controls
> * Recently obtained full smog exemption with Jan 2005 tags
> * Too many detail to list
>
> Batteries have never gone below even 50% since new. I have kept them
> charged and watered to ensure very long life.
>
> Fully charged battery pack has a capacity of about 115 minutes @75A. The
> truck cruises at around 100A at 40 mph on level road. The total range is
> very dependent on the roads you take, speed, temp, and driving habits. I
> would estimate the range to be 30-35 mpc.
>
> The various parts and hundreds of hours of conversion work were done to
> make this a reliable local daily driver. With the public charging
> capability this extends the range greatly.
>
> I enjoyed doing the conversion so I am selling it to recover the parts
> cost so I can do another one. I'm driving it until then.
>
> Can help arrange delivery (Claremont, So.Calif)
