Xmas is coming

Santa is bringing me a new car for Xmas.  Actually I have to go and get it, but same thing.  I have finally found the right car to begin my MX5 conversion and not before time.  I am looking to impress with an HPEVS AC35x 2 with a 16kWhr pack of CALB's.  Performance should be 'adequate'.  Actually it will have to take back seat to my first job, a plug-in Prius conversion using a kit from Plug-in Supply in San Rafael, California.

I've been having a terrible time getting sales people in China to communicate with me regarding battery purchases.  Winston Battery was actually very good and was chasing me to complete the order but I was delaying while trying to get shipping arranged at a good price.  When I finally did come to place the order, the young lady had left the company and I can't get a reply from anyone any more.  Their loss, or at least it would be if I could get CALB to take me seriously too.  I can only assume they have bigger fish on the hook and my miniscule order does not even make them blink.  Too bad - I might be the biggest battery purchase in New Zealand by the end of the year - How would they know.  As it stands it looks like I will be slightly overpaying by purchasing SINOPOLY locally from a solar energy supplier.

In the meantime I have been adding a few more parts slowly to the store.  Of most note is the addition of the Mini K HV relay intended for precharge applications.  This little 20A, 400v relay also has application as a KSI relay and even a switching relay for heater cores or DC/DC converters.  It is still a bit pricey but much less so than the Kilovac contactors, which are a bit overkill for a heater core at 500A and 600v.

Merry Xmas
