Clean it up
I’ve got a plan to cleanup the rear battery area by remote mounting the regulators in a box next to the charger. If I move them I can then seal up the batteries and still be able to see the regulator LEDs flashing. That will make things look more professional and keep some road noise out. For the past few test drives we’ve had the center console removed so we can see and hear the pavement through the shifter and the battery racks.
I can also remove the stock power steering pump from the engine bay. I’ve got one battery that is always last and removing this pump will allow me to access it better to charge it up as a single battery so it doesn’t drag the rest down. I like the idea of an electric A/C compressor as well, so that would free up a good amount of space under hood.
