| Motor | Netgain WarP 9 Series Wound DC The WarP 9" diameter series wound DC Motor has a double ended shaft and is similar to the ADC 9" motor, but with several improvements. Of the most notable changes is that the have a larger com bar and utilize the large GE style brushes. One hour HP Rating = 28 HP at 89 volts (HP dramatically increases as voltage is increased) | ||

| Controller | Curtis 1231C-8601 Curtis Controller model 1231C-8601, 96-144VDC, 500 Amps max, 0 to 5 k/ohm input Used for on-road vehicles and other Higher Voltage, High Amp Applications. Infinitely variable throttle control, high pot input lockout, low voltage and high temperature current cutback. The "C" models use frequency shifting to reduce the operating frequency from 15kHz when the PWM output is less than ~15%. Frequency shifting improves the current limit control and also helps protect the controller when the motor is in near-stall conditions. | ||
| Batteries | 12 Exide ORB34DC-36, 12.00 Volt, Lead-Acid, AGM Exide Technologies Orbital AGM Deep Cycle Marine Battery The Ultimate marine deep cycle & starting battery in one package.

| DC/DC Converter | Iota DLS-45 Amp The DLS series converter/power supply can be used with or without a battery. When used as a converter/power supply, the DLS model will only supply what is required by the load. When not in use it is essentially off, reducing electricity usage. Even in its subcompact size, the DLS series converter/power supply, at full load, has an operating temperature half that of some switch mode electronic models. This means substantially longer life and safer operation. | ||

| Additional Features | Crystalfontz Liquid Crystal Display CFAH0802Z-YYH-JP Parallel Character LCD 8x2, RoHS Compliant, Yellow/Green LED Backlight, STN Positive, Yellow/Green, Transflective -20�C - +70�C 6:00 * Very wide viewing angles * 8-bit or 4-bit parallel interface * Industry-standard HD44780 compatible controller * RoHS Compliant PakTrakr Current Sensor An easy to install Hall-effect current sensor adds additional functionality to your PakTrak 600 or PakTrakr 800 systems. Unlike a shunt resistor system, the PakTrakr current sensor is completely isolated from the pack, wastes no energy, and may be installed anywere in the pack. PakTrakr 600 PakTrakr Display and one 6-battery Remote, for monitoring six 6V, 8V, or 12V lead-acid batteries. Monitor additional batteries by adding one or more 6-battery Remotes PakTrakr 6-battery Remote Monitor 6 additional 6V, 8V, or 12V lead-acid batteries by adding this 6-battery Remote to your PakTrakr System. Use up to 5 Remotes per system, to monitor up to 30 batteries. Throttle PB-5 0-5K Lever In stainless case with calibrated lever. The potbox is the throttle in an EV. It tells the controller how much current is needed to be sent to the motor. The potbox's lever arm is attached to the existing accelerator cable. The box translates foot pressure into a variable resistance to let the controller know how fast you want to go. Fuse, Buss Class "T" 450 amps These fuses have a high arc interrupt rating and are specially designed to break and smother a direct current arc when the fuse blows. Voltage: Up to 160 volts VDC Contactor, SW-200CW W/ Blowouts 12 Volt Coil The SW200 Series of Contactors has been designed for direct current loads, particularly motors as used on larger electric vehicles such as industrial trucks, airport tractors, etc. |
