It will last forever bcuz he could always make another one

I personally have not noticed any benefit from them in this configuration... As a matter of fact, mine get warm/hot in this configuration. They were left on from when I had a controller connected

I think the motor is just about perfect for this application however, I would get a 14s or 54v battery minimum to power it. The 12s 50v is just a smidge slower then I would prefer the blades to be spinning. I know GMC released a later revision to the Chevy volt to have a 16s battery module... That might be overkill but I'm sure that extra voltage would be a nice power boost.

Thanks. I was considering a 48v power pack consisting of Headway batteries which have a 300A potential, but can scale up to a 72 to accommodate the higher demad. Do you think adding a speed sensing controller would be useful?

@@Perfectionist01 I think that is a big power jump, it would probably be a good idea to have a sensor and some sort of delivery regulator in that case. Some hydrostatic drives heat up with increased input speed.

Honestly I could not find a pin out that was valid. I had to use a multimeter and determine the order of the cells by continuity testing the leads to the top of the battery. Then I was able to create a balance lead that could be used on a generic RC car charger or any type of balance board.

Yes, it works wonderfully. 4 lead acid should work but you'll need to monitor the voltage drop to determine longevity

yes, the hydro takes the jolt away from the starting movement. The older manual models do work though they sometimes cause the front tires to lift off the ground with the instant torque that an electric motor provides.

It really depends on how wet and tall the grass is. Generally, I only now for 45m-1hr but I have gone as long as 1.5hrs.

Yes, the hydrostat has gears inside that flip direction for forward and reverse based on the input lever. The motor direction does not need to change.

@@JerryRigged I thought so, I just recently serviced my Tuff Torq K46 Hydrostatic Transmission on my Husqvarna Lawn Tractor, (YTH2648TDRF) as this Diff is used on many Ride-on Mowers, Husqvarna, John Deere etc. I just wanted to confirm it, Thankyou 😊🙏👍👌🍻 Important Note - what Husqvarna doesn't tell you in there "so called" service manuel is that this Hydrostatic Differential needs to be serviced at "50hrs then every 200hrs" (this is stated by Tuff Torq - the manufacturer themselves) (Oil / filter Change & clean magnets in diff) I Love how massive companies don't disclose this critical information !😳🙄 A Shorter Lifespan means another sale for them, it's pretty sad / pathetic & very sneaky way to do business. (I think anyway.) I thought I should let you know, I would hate to see that Awesome conversion gathering dust because of a premature worn out Diff. That Electric conversion may be something I would consider doing also in the future👌👍 How much approximately did the Conversion cost ?🤔

It is quieter however, it isn't "quiet". The blades do generate noise when rotating. The pulleys under the chassis also make noise.

@@JerryRigged Thanks for that quick answer. I am aware that all the Others components still have their operating noises. I am from Germany, I would have to get the motor from the states. I would like to build a lifepo4 100AH 16S battery pack, could you maybe estimate what kind of runtime that could give?

Magic 😅. I'm not a welder... I just make it happen

Galvanized steel can be welded, you just don't want to breath the fumes generated while welding.

@@hansswift3141 how do you not breathe them, leaning right over it? I'd like to try it out lol.

@@chriswf I weld galvanized outside only. Take a breath, hold it, weld, walk away upwind and take a breath. I can hold my breath for about 3 minutes due to diving practice. You don't want to breath even a single breath of galvanized metal. It's lethal.

@@CerberusOnFire LOL that's wild. I have 2091 or 2097 filters (pink), but I'm still unsure about welding with those as I can still smell things through them sometimes.

Assuming you are not using a controller, I would check the main contactor. Sounds like a short in there. Also, check that the leads are crimped well and without corrosion starting. I've had corrosion build up between connections and cause a connection break if the load is high. If you have a BMS and it's wired inline, check the amperage being consumed. BMS boards will cut power if it exceeds the rating on the BMS.

Also, since this is new behavior, check the drive belt and blade belt. Check the pulleys, if the bearings are going bad, a higher load would be expected

Thank you

Update on that. What it was are my battery cables went a bit loose. Now have to periodically tighten it. Perhaps the vibration causes it. Thanks again

Hi there. I traced the hole pattern to some cardboard and used that to drill new holes into the engine mount area. I just needed the main shaft to be in the correct location.

I should note, on a different mower, the engine plate needed filler brackets to span the cut out area. I just bought some thick angle iron from Lowe's for that one.

50.4Vdc at 94ah capable of 200 amps constant (there are two in parallel, do amps add together? If so, 400 amps constant)

@@JerryRigged Amps do add if connected in parallel, but don't if connected in series.

It's two 48v battery modules for a Chevy Volt. They were from a salvage I purchased on eBay
