What's the question?

Have no clue what you are really asking. I'll assume. The eTorque doesn't move the truck. It adds little extra power at take off to the engine and does many other things. But it won't move the truck on its own.

If I'm understanding your question, you're wondering if you can add more battery packs to the 48v etorque battery. The answer is maybe, but to what end. You will gain nothing from that, as @vincentw56 already said, etorque only adds power at take off, and for only the first half wheel rotation. After that it adds no power to the wheels.

Don't listen to these guys. Fill your bed with batteries, hook it up, and watch that truck go!

Short answer: No.

ETorque is not a hybrid like a Prius. You never drive on just the electric motor in the Ram, ever, so more batteries will not give you better range. If anything, the added weight will decrease the range.

you will lose some payload

I'll have to look at it closer but I'm building either a pentastar or eco ,electric around town

 

[Anthony76]

Maybe l can do something different with the barelli motor?

 

[Anthony76]

The thing is all the triple AAA battery will do is 90ftlbs 180 with 2 will see

 

[Anthony76]

It takes a 900lbs battery for featherweight Prius. The etorque battery is a briefcase

Ok

Don't feed the troll.

Didnt realize it was the same troll

Don't feed the troll.

Why such a large time gap?

 

[vincentw56]

Why such a large time gap?

Because he has been posting the same BS over and over. And some other recent ones.

 

[Slutzk]

[theblet]

Etorque. Get 40 mpg and rung the 1/4 mile in 9 seconds. Hell yea!

 

[Brutal_HO]

Why such a large time gap?

Because I posted it in the wrong thread after reviewing a report...
