Hi, I just saw your post as a newby in the Bradley GT forum, I’m also a participant of it.
My approach to you is for the fallowing, I will be converting my GT II also in electric and could use some help in the design of the batteries subframe upon your learning curve with yours.
I researched in the original Bradley frame and finding it very unstable and sort of confusing, I may be wrong.
Some pointers will be great, a pictorial design will be much better and commentaries on what NOT to do will be most beneficial.
I also was looking at the DEKA AGM line. Cheapest I could find localy was $202.00.
I can be contact at “mrbigh@lipog.org”
regards,
Horacio

Brett, after careful consideration and calculation, I have decided to use 12 12 volt deka dominator batteries for my main pak. This will lighten the load by about 600lbs and they are a low maintenance battery. I will still be getting approx 70mi range and will be able to fulfill my cars mission statement. Thank you so much for your input on this very important decision.

Brett, I have done the research on batteries for my particular application. I will be installing an automatic watering device. I will only have to check the batteries and see that they are full. If your interested in an autofill device, contact Mike Brown at http://www.electroauto.com

As a owner of a GTE I strongly advise against the fitment of flooded batteries, too much work is involved it checking and toping up the batteries
