The LHC is playing around with the lead ions in your battery (see 'LHC Rap' video on YouTube for further explanation).
I was born in the 50's and I been travelling forward in time ever since, without the aid of a flux capacitor.
WOW! I've reached 2008 and still no flying cars!

Don't worry, I'm still waiting on extra lugs to come. The company I ordered them from is taking forever. Then I'll make a video of how to cheaply and reliably attach lugs.

I'm using a 24v 103amp for 1 hour 60 pound DC Series wound GE motor. I'm running it at 72v. My controller is a 400amp 72v Curtis. I have 6 12v batteries, which are Sears Platinum Edition Deep Cycle. The chargers were $20 each from harbor freight. I have 6 of them for the 6 batteries, and they charge at a rate of 6 amps. I ate another possum yesterday. This one was really rotten, so I got sick.

Well, this older car doesn't have power brakes, and stops great with the batteries in it. On newer cars with power brakes, you just add a vacuum pump. It's pretty cheap. You power it with the 12v battery that powers the lights and blinkers and whatever else. I think the vacuum pump might be like $80 or something, but I'm not sure.
