High School Solar Racers

Earlier this year, a crowd gathered at Texas Motor Speedway for a race event–but not the kind one might expect. There was no telltale roar of internal combustion engines in the pits, only the sounds of battery chargers and teams preparing their v
ehicles for the upcoming race. This race is not driven by gasoline or methanol, or even the batteries themselves–instead, the primary power source is the sun. The Solar Car Challenge is an annual competition open to teams from high schools across the country. The intent is to foster student’s interest in science, engineering, and alternative energy. 65+ schools in 20 different states are currently involved.
Team picture after the race. From l-r, Peter Oelschlaeger (Faculty Sponsor), Tony Licata (Safety), Taylor Matthew, Sean Stuart, Brandon Augustus, Murphy Johnson (Driver), Rick Hochenedel (Driver), Leslie Morgan (Driver), Van Le (Master Mechanic), Alidia Findley (Captain), Kevin Stuart (Parent/Chaperon).
Given the obvious advantages of lithium batteries over lead-acid, a few of the preeminent teams are making the switch to gain a performance advantage. One such team is the Chariot of Helios. Hailing from Baton Rouge Magnet High, these students designed and constructed a fully functional solar car. Unfortunately, they were plagued with mechanical issues early on and were never able to recover the lost ground. Given their performance before the issues, they could easily have won the race with the Lithium Pros Powerpack. We wish them the best of luck next year, as the competition moves off the racetrack and onto the streets…a trip from Texas Motor Speedway all the way to Los Angeles. We have no doubt the team will be back with the kinks worked out and ready to beat the competition. Our batteries will be there to provide safe, reliable energy storage along the way.

Lithium Pros introduces the new T series of lightweight racing batteries for drag racing applications.
/”>
The T680-16 Lithium Powerpack is a 16V lithium ion battery designed for all classes of drag racing. The combination of high current delivery and ultra light weight provides an excellent value in a lightweight racing battery. This 16V Lithium-Ion battery has 26 minutes of reserve, a total capacity of 11Ah, and yet weighs only 5 lbs. It is rated 605A PHCA so it can easily start engines up to 800 cu in. Because of its high voltage during discharge and its deep cycling capability, it can replace lead acid batteries up to 30Ah in capacity.
**This introductory pricing expires for both the T680-16CK and the T1600CK on 1/1/2012**
The T1600 Lithium Powerpack is for applications where more capacity is required. This 16V Lithium-Ion battery has 46 minutes of reserve, a total capacity of 20Ah, and yet weighs only 9.8 lbs. It is rated 750A PHCA so it can easily start engines up to 800 cu in. It can replace lead acid batteries up to 60Ah in capacity and complete up to 100 lap dirt track events.
Both batteries features cell balancing for safety, long life, and maximum capacity. A novel feature is the three terminal design. The battery is discharged on the two main terminals, and charged on a third terminal. Internally, a solid state protection system monitors each cell, ensuring that the charging process is safe. The battery is 182mm L x 77mm W x 167mm H and a full line of battery holders are available at www.lithiumpros.com. Either battery can be quickly recharged with the Lithium Pros 1008 or 1013 Lithium IntelliChargers (sold separately.)
The T680-16 has an MSRP of $736, making this battery an excellent value at only $19 per pound saved vs. a lightweight AGM 16V battery. The MSRP of the T1600 is $1,047, for $21 per pound saved vs. a standard AGM 16V battery. For the introduction, the T680-16 will be offered for $695 with a free charger, and the T1600 will be $995 with a free charger.

C1600 in the dirt with Mike Gault

Will it work in the dirt? You bet!
Several dirt track racers have been testing the Lithium Prosbuy cialis
rong> L1600A, L925-16A, and the new C1600 battery on dirt tracks across the South and Midwest with great results. Why run a lithium ion battery in a dirt car? Because it’s an easy way to shave 31 pounds from the car and have the same great 16V performance as a typical 16V AGM battery. This battery only weighs 11 lbs yet has enough capacity to cover a 100 lap race. It’s the same size as the 16V AGM batteries in use so no bracket changes are necessary, just take out one and drop this one in its place. You’re good to go!
How well does it work? Mike Gault (#17) of South Carolina said, “The battery [C1600] is working great! It takes about 20 minutes to recharge. I’ve been showing it to several of my race buddies and they love it so you’ll probably be getting some calls from them. Thanks again for the support!”
Other dirt track cars are testing right now as well and are just as thrilled. Got an alternator? No problem, just set it at 18.0V and you’re ready to race. Prefer 12V? We’ve got you covered as well. Call and get yours today!
