How many miles did you get out of the Deka Gel batteries? Are you using a battery balancing system? I have a 08 pk with 84v upgrade. The haze AGM's are staying...
I ran 10kWh of GEL for 6,500 miles, then 10kWh of AGM for only 2,500 but they will probably get me to 3,000 at reduced trip distances. I don't have any...
I just received my Delta-Q and I am ready to replace the original chinese charger. I downloaded the instructions off the ZAP site. I own 2-2006 PKs and one has...
... On the contrary; balance has _everything_ to do with pack wear. With an un-balanced pack, the weaker batteries get pulled on harder then the strong ones...
In an earlier post today I made the statement that a pack equipped with PowerCheqs or equivalent lasts an average of 3 times longer. I will qualify that by...
Dear Xebra's: After having my 06 Sedan since April of 07, I would like to sell it. It has less than 1,000 miles, all battery's and car are working. I drive it...
Dear Jeremy Berglund: I've had the same situation twice. It is my belief that the drain is due to the PakTrakr, and the fact that I do not drive the car. ...
So you are saying my AGMs could have run 3 x further with PowerCheqs fitted? The only way to prove that would be for me to try it. I'll get back to you on...
Yes Ray. With average use, your pack will run 3x longer running PowerCheqs. I uploaded Dr. Kutkut's full study to the group file area, it is under GPEV....
hi, I got a pk 2006 xebra, wondering how to install a kelly controller.. would a 200 amp model work on the zap car pk? Also you mention running extra cable .....
The Alltrax, like the Curtis are conduction cooled. With the proper heat sink, conduction cooling is much more effective then convection cooling (fins/fan)....
... with the Power lockout relay. Without it I thought I would be able to move with the car being plugged in. Is this O.K. Do I just leave the old DC wires...
The AC relay is a nice feature, it keeps you from driving off with the vehicle plugged in. To retain this feature simply wire the leads to the back of your AC...
I had the same question during my recent install. I ended up going without the AC lockout. Sean, would you be more specific about what "leads" you are ...
The green wire on the DeltaQ is unused, tie it up out of the way. The lockout circuit that came out of the BC-2 was 110v (at least it was on every unit I have...
Soooo, when you get one of those nice dual voltage chargers and plug in to a 220 volts outlet what might one expect to happen to the little lockout relay? Â ...
When using the PFC 110/220 charger you have to use a seperate pigtail pluged into the charger's IDC input for 220. This bypasses all the 110 stuff, and since...
Various factoids are saying li-ion is suspect: MIT tried to show the world how great their ideas were by driving a Li-ion car cross country, they got as far...
Did you put in different 96 v motor? Looks like same 72 v model.. Tell us how is it holding up with all the extrav 24 volts of power on it ? Thanks. Where...
Hi Sean, Very interesting observation. When you state that batteries last 3X longer with equailzation, does this apply both the AGM and GELs? The reason I ask...
The theory applies to all battery types, but since AGM and GEL batteries are more susceptible to overcharge damage then floodies, balance is even more critical...
Yeah! I finally got my battery. My Discovery battery just arrived today and would like any tips from other seasoned ZAP owners & dealers about installing it....
You have balancers on the pack right? That is very important when introducing a new battery to the pack. Before removing the old battery be very careful to...
Local supplier gave me a good price on 100 AH AGM batteries. Main customers that purchase these they said are factories that have electric carts/trucks like...
Hey everyone. I got the new battery installed and here is the current situation. Before putting the battery in, my paktrakr said bat 6 was damaged and bat 1...
