I'm trying to understand a little better the components which affect
range. Suppose I convert my S10 pickup and use a Zilla HV controller.
If I installed 26 T-145 how would the range compare to if I instead
installed 26 UB121100 12V AGMs (1846lbs vs 1872lbs) or are there too
many other differences between these two batteries. Maybe a better
comparison might be 25 T-145s for a 150v pack to 22 T-1275s for a 264
volt pack (1800lbs vs 1804lbs)?
I'm assuming that the higher voltage pack will reduce the battery
current and hence possibly gain something in range. Also, I'm trying
to decide whether to save longer and install an AC system (I have a 2
mile drop from my house and a few smaller hills so I'm also thinking
of the regen) or go with a DC system. About twice per month I have a
50mile round trip on the freeway where I could go 55 in the truck
lane. The hardest part is the final 2miles where I gain 450 ft in
elevation. I don't want to go too far past 50% DOD. Cor van de Water
figured this would be doable with his S10
(

sure it is a little heavier than his regular cab long bed.
Thank you for your ideas.
