Charging Upgrade

Upgrade has been completed of the onboard 12V to 48V DCDC converter to 15A unit (previously 8A unit). This allows the system Lipo battery charging current from the alternator (when the engine is running) to increase from 6A to 12A.

An external charger that uses 240VAC mains power has been upgraded from 10A to 20A charge current. This external charger eliminates the need to idle the car for long periods in between runs at motorsport events. Most events we run at have mains power available but for those that don’t a 2kVA petrol generator is used instead.
