I got the Land Speeder out for some fun, I mean testing
The (blue) 14S 48V 15AH Lithium Battery pack, that I built out of Lithium cells from a Chevy Volt module, has been sitting (steady) at 56.6V for a couple of weeks (9-23-22 thru 10-11-22)
...so, I mounted it on the Land Speeder kart, to see how it would do powering a small kart, with (2) 48V 1,000W motors.
The battery seemed to perform well
...but, the balance of the kart was "off" a little bit
This kart was originally designed to be powered by a (~50lbs.) 12S3P 48V 50AH battery module
...but, this (blue) 14S 48V 15AH pack only weighs ~15lbs.
My son & his friend helped out with testing it too
