Range Rover Sport P400E Hybrid batteries, which will provide 216 Samsung 37Ah cells to replace the failing NiCads in my 2001 Citroen Berlingo 500E "Electrique" electric van.
Not the best Christmas then?!
Just the normal overhyped carp.Not the best Christmas then?!
These batteries contain "NCM" cells with Nickel Cobalt Manganese cathodes, in place of LiFePO4. They are very energy-dense and produce 3.7v rather than 3.2v. The donor vehicles had only done 10 or 20 thousand miles.Range Rover? Do you reckon they'll work? Should have got some Toyota ones
Before being stolen in London and whisked away!.....The donor vehicles had only done 10 or 20 thousand miles....
Tempting me as I need a set for my G-wiz. Plan is to do home to Lands End, John O'Groats than back to Stoke for charity - a round trip for around 1800 miles. Seeing the original G Wiz lead acid batteries only give it a range for 40 miles I think I need something betterThese batteries contain "NCM" cells with Nickel Cobalt Manganese cathodes, in place of LiFePO4.

At 399.6v per pack, it's going to be quite scary to open them up. The Berlingo runs it's DC motor at 162 volts.
