    so yesterday I received this email and about a dozen pics from Miranda at Amorge Hello my friend We have created the battery, please check if it is suitable for your frame? If it is suitable, we will ship it to you all of the dimensions checked out, a few were actually a bit smaller, and...

    That looks good Dave! I will be building my own box, so not exactly sure how I will "contain" the battery, but with Amorge delivery times, I think I have plenty of weeks to think about it :ROFLMAO:

    another Honda CR-e build?, nope its a Suzy!

    thank you Don for this valuable feedback ! regarding #5 above, I wont ever be charging at the track, or in a hurry to get back on the road, and I am thinking a "slower" charge could be a bit more gentler on the pack. Mirada said they could upgrade from a 400A to a 420A BMS for the same...

    another Honda CR-e build?, nope its a Suzy!

    I was worried about the same thing, I tried to make sure that Miranda knew I appreciated her putting up with me :) Miranda has updated my quote clarifying the correct volts on the charger, but its good to know I can buy a bigger charger someday your friends above, do you recall what size...

    Halg I could be wrong here, but I think Miranda Amorge is planning one QS10 for B+ and another for B- BMS are capable of monitoring cells during both charge and dis-charge. From what I have read, many builders "bypass" this function during operation to reduce heat, and just set the Controller...

    another Honda CR-e build?, nope its a Suzy!

    My original battery choice was going to be Molicel P45B, but after a bit of research I am leaning more towards the Samsung 50S. SAMSUNG 50S: HOT GARBAGE OR MISUNDERSTOOD GEM? According to people much smarter than me, the Samsung peak amps is very overstated. But I am willing to trade max...

    another Honda CR-e build?, nope its a Suzy!

    …more amore’ for Amorge For the last couple of weeks, I have been going back and forth with Miranda. I would get a bit frustrated with the language translations, but she has probably been equally frustrated with my lack of battery building knowledge and endless questions and multiple design...

    another Honda CR-e build?, nope its a Suzy!

    Halg. I was having a major case of battery dyslexia, but the clarity came to me while in the shower 😅 I was mentally thinking my proposed packs were "sets" of 20, but they are actually "sets" of 15 or 16. It is the parallel cells that are a "set". Seems obvious to me now, not sure how I...

    Oh my, I am such a knucklehead, I am mentally doing the battery math like it is 16S 20P or 15S 20P 😟

    my Amorge journey continues.... so I sent the 'Buffalo v2" battery design to Amorge, Miranda comes back and says: Hello, friend We checked the size of your battery. The 332MM position we drew only 323MM According to the frame size of this battery, we calculated that there are 108 battery...

    Hello Don, some really great info in this thread. I like the idea of a fan mounted in the airbox. At what power level do you typically need to add radiator cooling ? Thx! Jim
