Hello Group,
I am researching low power electric vehicles (trikes), and have found they mostly run on 24-48VDC using several 12VDC batteries (e.g. 12Ah) in series.
Running these batteries in series (e.g. 36VDC) causes one to either purchase a 36VDC charger or to disconnect the series and reconnect in parallel for charging at 12VDC.
As an alternative to using three 12VDC 12Ah SLA batteries in series, I am considering using a large 12VDC 54Ah AGM battery along with a 12VDC to 36VDC step-up/boost converter to power this system.
I have found a 12VDC Boost Converter

but it isn't quite powerful enough (200+ Watts vs 400+ Watts) and am concerned that it might produce too much noise or other problems for the speed controller.Please post any advice/recommendations, thanks, Keller Beyer snipped-for-privacy@aol.com
