I have a 2002 Gem (4-seater)and I was wondering if anyone has used another type of battery monitoring gauge other than the blinking one in the GEM display? I...
Vinnie, I'm in the process of installing one of Bob's E-Meters. It has many features including a gauge like you described. It's 2" in diameter and I'm...
Scott, You are going to have to get a trailer full of batteries to haul around with you just to handle all the additional equipment you have installed!!...

LOL Lew, Pretty funny. Perhaps I need hi-tech batteries to match my hi-tech car. I'm working on it. Trust me I am ;) Scott In a message dated 12/4/2005...
I am considering buying a GEM car and I read in the 2005 manual that upgrading from standard batteries to gel batteries cannot be done by the end user because...
Theoretically speaking, would a fast moving GEM car roll over or slide when lateral Gs overcame ita traction? To compare, a sportscar would definitely slide,...
This is somewhat true. The main issue really is the charger. If you were to charge gel batteries with a flooded battery setting you'd be lucky if they lasted...
In a stock GEM I don't think it is fast enough to get you in to too much trouble. Case in point, I fixed a GEM for a friend who happened to see mine with 14"...
With winter driving here, the one thing that concerns me about the GEM is turning on ice or hard packed snow. When I lose traction the GEM slides, but in a...
Good question, narrow wheelbase BUT a lot of lower weight due to the batteries. If it did roll the whole upper portion of the "egg" is fairly thick meatl and...
Agreed. This is a good question. As far as I know, there were no formal testing on the roll-over threshold. The stock GEM goes too slow for this to be an...
With the twins in school now, the old commute with the GEM 4pass was not going to work. They get out at 1430 hrs and we would not normally get off work till...

I have a set of 31TMX batteries for my GEM. I have found a bad cell in one of the batteries (this is the second bad battery in the group I purchased), and in...

I've heard from many people that I was on TV(11 in San Jose) but the producer didn't get back to me to let me know when. I've got calls in but if anyone can...
Hi, Sorry if this has been covered before. When I'm done using my 02' GEM for the day I plug it in and then it charges and eventually the light goes green. The...
Unfortunately, it does not continue to trickle charge. You'll see a red light (fast rate) for the first 80% of the charge and then a slower rate (yellow) for...
The answer is probably not. Why not yes or no? Because the default programming for a Zivan charger is no -- no trickle charge. On the other hand, it is...
Just curious, why would you not want to keep the batteries fully charged, after all - doesn't a discharged battery sulfate (and other bad things like freeze if...
Thanks much for your reply. I use my GEM about twice a week at most, other times it just sits in my garage - and I live in freezing temperatures. I think...
You have to think in more than one way. Yes, it is a good thing to keep the batteries fully charged and yes it is a bad thing to leave them uncharged. You are...
