This is the start of my additional dashboard to house an HD radio and ammeter and volt meter for the pack. Out of stainless, the 5 small holes will be for 5 lighted toggle switches for extra lights and meter controls.
This is the acrylic panel I am using to mount the contactors. The left one to come on with the ignition switch, and the right one to come on with pot box and accelerator pedel through a 30 amp relay.
These are the start of my collection of 12 volt batteries from auto parts stores. Load tested checked water level, about half of what I bring home hold a charge. Paid core deposits, as they poop out they will swap them out again for more batteries. These should surfice till I find out if this big petre dish of wires is going to actually work. So far I have invested $60 in my first 12 batteries.
