  1. The batteries are lithium-ion - no gassing. They're safe enough for Nissan, Toyota, Chevy, Ford, Tesla...
  2. I bought a wreaked Leaf through Copart ($4200) and stripped a lot of the drivetrain. It was a 2015 and still had that new-car smell. The second pack I found on ebay - it's new ($3100). It was a warranty replacement that was damaged during shipping (the external connector was damaged).
  3. Range - without regeneration and city driving I'm shooting for 150 miles Safety 1 high-current contactor (relay) inside each battery tank. 1 fuse external for each battery tank. 1 main contactor between pack-positive and the motor. 2 parallel electrical switch disconnects.
  4. Yes, that is a B46 contour cab getting an electric conversion. The Corvette is also all electric. I needed a way to get the Vette to the track. So, an electric Mack - eMack.
  5. From the album: Electric Conversion

    I'll double the trucks range by making two parallel packs (200 volts each). Then I'll double the range again by adding a second Leaf pack - a total of four 200 volts packs in parallel.

    Modifying the Leaf battery case for the side tank was easy. The motor bay is a different story. Cram a 43" x 38" box into a 40" x 34" hole Modify Modify some more Repeat Step 3

    Modified a Nissan Leaf battery pack to make a battery side tank. There will be two side tanks and one in the motor bay.
  8. I like Wheeler Dealer but didn't see that episode. The truck is a '63 B-46.
