9.25" forklift truck motor, part no.6R5420 from a CAT F40D.Harder
brushes fitted, advanced timing,and balanced.Fingers crossed this
motor provides the power needed.
ControllerZapi H2B 600amp
will not set up for regen. because i will need to advance motor timing.
This controller worked really well for 10500 miles when it was replaced
by a Soliton1, only because I wanted even more power. The H2B is
now for sale.

start heater for set time.Fitted and tested on 110v,was -1 outside but felt
nice and warm very quickly inside car.
In the real world two would work just right.

55 amp wired always on, so no problems, works great this way.

Now using a JLD404 ok boot not as good as the CA.
