Battery Boxes, part 8

To figure out the final configuration of the motor compartment, I cut out a plywood template and placed it above the motor and the two lower battery boxes. This allows me to move the components around to find a configuration where everything fits. I also need to consider the rotation and flex of the motor under load, to ensure that the motor terminals do not short circuit. I settled on this configuration:

The controller is on the left and the battery charger is on the right.

I fabricated a rack for the last eight cells. The last rack is installed, and I am relieved that I got all 60 of the cells to fit in the car.
