Lithium batteries

Big truck... shame dug was out at the time, he would have loved that.

The GBS cells come pre strapped into blocks of 4.

They also are pre-wired...

The covers are a unique feature of the GBS cells.

First thing I do is take them apart...

Lots and lots boxes!

Not sure what that means... awesome I presume?

Lithiumate Lite BMS, brand new custom EV design.

Can fit all 48 cells under the rear seat, some welding required to re-arrange the mounting rack.
