LiFePO4 Batteries - Not currently used on the car

The batteries that were initially used for this conversion are the CALB 60AH prismatic cells, shown on the left in the picture below. Each cell has a 60AH capacity and the 120 cells that will be used gives a 25kW-h battery capacity for the conversion. For a 85% discharge that provides 21.4kW-h of driving capacity. At an expected use of 250W/mile by the vehicle that capacity should provide just about 85 drivable miles. If the use rate increases to 300W/mile the derivable range drops to 71 miles. The batteries will be arranged in a series wiring configuration to give a pack voltage (at 3.5V per battery) of 420V.  The CALB 60H cells are capable of putting out 10C (that is 600A!) for up to 10 minutes. That current times the pack voltage is greater than the power capacity of the DMOC 645. Another great feature about these cells is that all of them exhibit more than 10% of their rated capacity.  That will directly translate into 10% more driving range.
