IN THE MARKET FOR SOME BATTERIES/PACKS
I'm in the market for the EV batteries or battery packs. My 2008 Blade Electron is in need of a transplant. I know there was someone here producing battery packs. I have two more Blades that are batteryless, as well. Let me hear from everyone ... private and commercial ... with your ideas or products.

Re: Unable to repair my Electron V
What was the outcome? I am interested because I am in the process of retro-engineering my Blade ... one of three ... two of the original team are neighbours here in the birthplace, Castlemaine, and we have decided to make it the ideal KISS EV. They were a bit over engineered to start with and no two...

Re: Unable to repair my Electron V
Terry ... I sympathise with you! I own an early Blade ... #4 I think ... and two more in storage without batteries ... They are certainly an acquired taste, but I think worth the effort. There is a chap in Newcastle names Jon Eggenhousen of Catavolt ... he would be a good bet to ask. Cheers, Randall

Yes ... or rather UPcycling ... and keeping them as two-seaters for both weight and capacity.

Re: EV BATTERY DISCUSSION AND SUGGESTIONS
Another suggestion are cells from wrecked EVs ... I know in the US a lot of Tesla wrecks are supplying batteries for conversions and upgrades ... the entire floor plan is a big battery!
or simply replacement cells for those models ... the two mentioned are Nissan Leafs and Holden Volts ...
Discuss?

WHAT'S IT SAY ON THE BLADE BINNACLE?
OK, Blade Masters ... I'd like to know what the information is on the Dash Binnacle of my 2008 Blade ... most of the information is evident ... total charge, etc ... but does someone know the other stuff? Is there a diagram available?
