New batteries ordered! T1275 replaces J150
Now that the brakes are fixed!! I took Alex for his first RAVolt drive. With the old batteries, it takes a very careful foot. He’s excited to have the RAVolt has his daily, so we’re getting new batteries.The current range is just about 2-4 miles (of very timid driving).It’s been 4 years since we got the first set (about this same date in 2007) and prices are up about 50%. Each cell will cost $150 for the T1275. If I tried to order the old J150 cells, they would be a special item and $200.The T1275 is the same weight and amp-hours. It’s slightly shorter (13″ vs 13.75″). That difference may come from the lack of useless lifting edges on the sides. My big concern is the terminal posts, but those _appear_ to be the same.We’ll find out on Tuesday - that’s when the J150s go to the big smelter in the sky. It will take a few days before I find the time for the install.BTW: My supplier is Continental Battery in Belton. Thanks to Bill Gooch on the AustinEV list for the recommendation.
