OK, so maybe 85 degrees wasn't impressive. So today I repeated the test from yesterday in 97 degree heat. The results were the same - no problem. Hey, what can I say....I live in WA state, in the mountains, it just doesn't get inferno hot here like some places. Matt

Hi Skip20, I have a blog that shows everything. bigredbradley.blogspot.com/Mr. Bigh, Yes, I'm running with a 144V LiFEPO4 100 AH pack. I've had this for about three years now. The pack started off in my Sparrow then was transplanted to my Bradley. I just added a DC to DC converter and am not afraid of hot weather anymore. : )

Does anyone have a line on a set of wiring diagrams for a 1980 Bradle GT II electric. Are the VW diagrams for the base chasis usable for this?

You will be using 1 - 12VDC batt. for it. The elec. for the Green machine is onto itself with it's own Batt's. Controller, batt. charger, & a few gauges. 96 - 144 volts DC is what you will want back there.

Mrbigh,
The question of range is always complicated. I have a 25 mile commute with lots of hills and speed limits that are 35 - 50 mph. When I make my commute I drain 60%, on the way home it's 70%. This is the ideal set-up, I don't drain too much to where it eventually damages the batteries. Less drain = more discharges.
What would it be if I were driving on flat level pavement?? I would guess 50 miles, depending on the mph.
Thanks,

Dynav01,
When I rewired my Bradley GT II, I bought a pre-wired kit from EZ wire. Sure I had to cut some wires out but I think it was a lot easier than trying to follow the old VW schematic. What started with was a rat's nest that was ready to catch fire. Ugh! The hardest part was figuring out how to wire to a 196? VW steering column. BTW, if you're looking to replace all lights with LEDs, you'll need to add resistors, you can find a four pack on EBay for cheap.
Thanks,

Im getting everything re wired in mine im setting it up so that the motor would run with out anything else being on and then ill set up all my lights and body wiring works semi seperatly. Its still all going to be set up through the key switch though.
