About three weeks ago we purchased a used 2002 GEM. I have been reading the boards for information and I am not clear on the charging methods. We take the...
Assuming that you have good batteries, and a charger which is operating properly, the normal charging cycle goes like this: When plugged in, the charger will...
What you describe is normal. The car will charge and when fully charged, the charger will shut off and the panel light will be green. Plugging it in again...
I just took home a GEM, got it registered, and got insurance $477/year (includes uninsured motorist). But now I want to mount the license plates, as they...
Don't know much about this vehicle. Any info would be helpful. Any other Zagato owners out there that would like to discuss this car, I'm beginning the...
A friend of mine has a 1997 Bombardier NEV and needs a schematic or wiring diagram to assist in trouble shooting. Does anyone know of a downloadable source for...
If I had looked in the files section first I would have found a wiring diagram for a Bombardier already posted there. Thanks, Carlos, for posting it....
I noticed that when the key is out of the ignition, the GEM in the FWD position, and the parking brake is released, anyone can simply push the GEM. Even down...
I had just this happen with my '00 el. Check out the pics from the security cam: http://www.shawnz.com/GEM/StealGEM.gif The next day when I got up and found my...
Thanks for the info. I have an 02 but I haven't been looking for a hole in the emergency brake handle. In what year did GEM start incorporating this into the...
On my 01 GEM there is a hole in the e-brake handle the you can put a padlock on. A thumb wheel combination padlock would be easy to use. Lew George <This...
That's what I was afraid of. Mine does that, batteries only 13 months old (problem started at 5 months). This is the second set of batteries in 3 years. I...
Well, there is always "The Club". I have one and when I'm parking in questionable areas, it slides onto the wheel with no problem, though I would suggest not...
Are you driving the car alot? I know Scott seems to drive his a huge amount but doesn't seem to have this problem. Are you buying non- Trojan batteries maybe? ...
Hello again, I am very interested in all your opinions for a 8 volt battery choice for my GEM car. Trojan makes the T-890 with 190 Ah at 69 pounds and 10 7/8...
Dave, If you mean me, I'm not a model example of someone who takes great care of their pack. I use my car a lot and really don't worry about how many times I...
This past weekend I charged my Gem overnight and when my wife went outside in the morning the buzzer was going off. She unplugged it and as far as she knows...
Flooded batteries will have the most capacity per pound no matter what. I was told by a GEM rep that Deka is making them a custom 8 volt gel battery, I hope...
The buzzer is trying to tell you something, likely it timed out after 12 hours or something (assuming it didn't happen right away when you plugged it in). The...
Thanks Rick. I didn't know that Deka is making them custom for GEM. I know the range of the e6s is where I want to be. I'll give a call to GEM tomorrow and...
Well, they aren't all that cheap, but you might consider these flow rite automatic battery watering system: http://www.rvpowersupply.com/pro_fill.htm I saw one...
I've got the T-875s in mine. I found them quite cheap in comparison to the 890s (bought at a golf cart shop for 70 bucks each). I've got to pull my front seat...
Not as much as I'd like - I can only get about 4-6 miles before the thing starts buzzing at me with 0% left from a "full" charge! Got new Trojans directly...

If it's dying that quickly unless you have really abused the pack it sounds like you have a dead cell in there somewhere. You should be able to find it with...
LOL, yep I meant you. Maybe you are a better example of the virtues of using the car often rather than taking good care of your pack. I just remembered that...
