Junkyard Report: 2005 HONDA Civic hybrid

[Gregski]

let's show some love to the Hondas shall we, recently I went a lookin' for some long battery cables, for them EV conversions where the motor/inverter may be on one end of the vehicle and the battery pack on the opposite, and although this Honda Civic offers really long (15 foot to be exact, gauge yet to be confirmed) inverter to motor cables, they can easily be repurposed as battery pack to inverter, as I hope to do on my Bunky the eBug: A 30 Day EV Conversion

I paid $60 bones for these and I would be happy to source these for folks if they were interested [following the basic buy for a dollar sell for two business model] or you can snag your own, WARNING: I did nearly loose my right thumb on the sharp exhaust pipeage whilst yankin' this beast

I like to strip all the housing in order to make it look less complete (pronounced: "cheaper") at check out, I hope I won't regret this later

here is the snake stretched along my '72 VW Beetle for reference

so here I have the three 15 foot wires/cables unloomed and I am thinking the third one can be used to run the DC-DC converter positive lead length wise of the vehicle form the charger to the regular 12 volt car battery if it resides on the opposite side, so a win-win

Top [Gun] Tip: and here I am showing that they indeed will bolt right up to our beloved Lexus GS450h \ Toyota Camry \ Nissan Altima inverters directly into the high voltage bus, and if you are savy enuff you might could craft some metal bracket to take advantage of them metal tabs to give it more sturdability, I may attempt that in my eBug conversion
