| Feb/2020 Just started the conversion. Reusing parts from previous build. Update April/2020 Build is done. It took about three months working on it on the weekends. Had to replace a few cells. Went with CALB 180 grays. Turned out okay. Can't wait to drive it once the COVID 19 crisis let's up. Range should get better when the pack balances with the new CALB cells. | |||||||
