I am parting out a 2002 GEM, 72V system, which was totaled while it was parked. I have considered using the electronics from the GEM to modernize my '76 ...
The GE controller is speed limited to 35 MPH. Check the model number of your controller. If you have a IC3645SH7R353T1 then you are out of luck. It will cost...
I've posted a picture of my L-post setup in my album. Copper strips and L-posts are used to lower resistance at lest with small contact surface of being bolted...
That looks good and clean Don, I guess my complaint is not against the L-posts so much as the batteries with the post set off to the side of where it should...
... As you pointed out you need a combo of things to dirty posts. You have gone @ it with the removal of copper, I have gone @ it with removal of acid. Acid...
This is a good talk, I am learning things. I never before gave it a lot of thought about how much stuff congrigates on the top of the posts, but it is very...
Can you get me a picture, of the pot-box and the spring. Or whatever information may enable me to see if I have what you need or know where to get it? Sorry I...
Hello, In looking at your posted photos, I have noticed a couple of things I'd like to ask you about. You have a controller and a relay labled 'bypass relay'...

Also, aluminum is not as good an electrical conductor as copper. Not only is a larger cross section required to match the current-carrying capability of...
Hello All, I was contacted today by a person in Michigan who has two CitiCars that he would like to sell. One is yellow and the other is blue (I suspect at...
Robert I worry about your homemade chargers [timed} and all the reactions you are having with your batteries ie; post problems. When I used a lester I had some...
It seems like a lot of people have problems with posts melting and "goop" forming. I also use a Zivan and haven't had these kinds of post problems. I don't...
How the Zivan protects posts is in it gentle charging it makes little gas which goops post connections very little. The other thing is warping plates with...
The timer on the charger I use on one type of charger for my C-car (and previuosly talked of) disconnects the primary after a period of time determined by me,...
This is a good idea it seems to me, but the more I look into things the more that I believe the next set of batteries I buy and install well either have L...
Your chargers sound good. I have made variable transformer chargers with 3 brushes and timers to switch voltages. I also put a arm on a variable transformer...
Thanks I need that, feeling better today! I got charger designs that go from A to Z and even off to the sides. Keep them amps flowing, -REG ... From: Donald...
