| System Voltage: | 355 Volts |
| Charger: | Manzanita Micro PFC 50, Rudman Regulators. At PIR (Portland International Raceway) where the Zombie usually does its thing, we get to plug into the 240V mains and charge air polution-free as the juice comes from Oregon's mighty Columbia River and its massive hydroelectric system. Away from home at other drag tracks where clean AC line power may not be available, a gasoline fueled 18 hp 2 cylinder Subaru generator makes 10 KW to feed the PFC50 and keep White Zombie's pack charged up. Thanks to Manzanita Micro for their support. |

The following was written in 2006. After reading it, check out how close this predicted performance came to the below listed 'Best Lead Acid ET' results from the 2007 racing season:
An all new battery pack is being readied for the 2007 racing season based on 60, 16 ahr Hawker Genesis batteries. This 360V pack will be 40% more powerful than the previous 360V pack, and will be capable of making 450 hp! The new pack will be 75 lbs. heavier, but the battery compartments will be far lighter, and other weight reducing mods should keep the car's curb weight close to the same. We expect ETs of 11.8 @ 110 mph, but with continued work, it's possible to see mid 11s for '07!

[size=+4]Best lead acid powered ET 11.882 @ 109.58 mph!
[size=+2](in the standing start NHRA timed 1/4 mile, per NEDRA)
[size=+2]0-60 in ~ 3.5 seconds!

[size=+4]Best lithium ion powered ET 10.258 @ 123.79 mph!
