Sorry for late answer, but here you go anyway: I would recommend Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (LiFePO4). I have bought mine from AliExpress. Link: www.aliexpress.com/item/4000419616241.html?spm=a2g0o.9042311.0.0.18354c4d4ExZ0E These are 3.2V 90Ah batteries from a brand called VariCore and are also used by others who have made electric conversions (The Inja: th-cam.com/users/TheInja). I would recommend going with a 36V battery pack consisting of 12 of these batteries in series, giving you a total of 3kWh capacity. This should be plenty enough power for your snow blower. A 24V setup with 8 batteries in series would also be enough for most snow-blower applications with 2.2 kWh of capacity. For reference this electric snow blower: egopowerplus.com/two-stage-snow-blower-snt2400/, - has 0.840 kWh of capacity. Hope this is helpfull. BR. GOL
- For my ATV conversion i'm using 32 LiFEPO4 batteries in series. This gives me a 100V, 9ah battery pack, which equates to 9kW of nominal power and a peak power of approximately 30kW, since the batteries can discharge with up to 3-4 times their nominal capacity in Amps. Another great thing about the Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries it their long life, with around 3500-4000 cycles (charge and discharge) with almost 100% capacity still remaining. BR. GOL
@@gorm1106 I'm thinking about converting an ATV to elelctric, to be my workhorse. What do you estimate you have spend on the batteries? I've looked up the batteries you mentioned, and they are around €65 ex shipping a piece, in that case i guess you have spend around €1k on batteries😱
@@pinocolada4254 Hi, that sound like a cool project. Yes the batteries are expensive. This was my exact cost for 32 cells including shipping and taxes: US $ 1,544.37 I haven't been able to find any that was cheaper and still trustworthy dealers.
@@gorm1106 that's quite some money. I saw what you payed for the motor as well, you'r down some change. I migth have to think about my project for a while. Maybe i'll start from scratch and make the frame and suspension myself as well, with more dedication i won't chicken out on the high er costs😇
Do you reckon you could turn the music up a bit louder? My ears aren't bleeding yet. And while you are at it turn the voice down a bit lower, because I actually heard a few things that you were saying... Invest in a microphone. It'll improve your viewer numbers.
Can’t wait to see this project progress! 🙌
What battery did you use or recommend. I am converting atv and snowblower to electric. Thanks
