You then need a charger rated to match the battery A/Hr rating so you
can charge the battery in 8 hours, give it 8 hours cool down and then
get an 8 hour work shift out of it.
Total nominal charge of 825 AH * 36 volts = 30 KWH. In 8 hours that
proportions to a 3.7 KW charger. Thus the whopping big 3-phase chargers
you see for these things. You're not gonna charge this thing from a 120VAC
outlet, at least not quickly.
Lead price today: $1.52/lb.
Ah, electric vehicles. A toxic, hazardous "fuel tank" that costs $1000s,
weighs tons, holds the energy equivalent of a few gallons of gasoline,
takes all day to refill from a pump that itself costs more $1000s, and
wears out in a few years.
You can automatically dismiss as fools any greens promoting electric
vehicles.
