Hi Galderdi, I have 660 amp hour cells in my solar system. They are VRLA but weight about 35 kilos each.
I am assuming that the traction cells would weigh similar so the overall weight would end up around 840 kilos. I would think that is way too heavy for a car.
The ones I saw on ebay were second hand, hence the price.
I paid around $3500 for a 12 volt bank of BAE cells, of course they were new.
Sounds like the motors you are using are acting the same as a Series wound DC motor. If it were possible to have a Compound motor then the torque curve could be flattened. Anyway sounds like you are on top of it all and from what I have seen are doing a great job.
I have dreams of building an electric car one day. Deciding on what car to do it to is the problem.
I live in a place where all wheel drive or 4wd is pretty important in winter, and a good long lasting body of the car would also be needed.
Oh well dreams
Cheers
Pete
