I finally found the skinny on the new Massachusetts law that becomes effective on July 1. This is the new NEV legislation that makes it legal to drive...
I've taken the battery out, and have connected a 12v 3amp power supply to the car's battery circuit. I've checked, and voltage is present at what I take to...
I found in-line fuses on the red & yellow wires between the connector and the radio on mine. The fuse holders are very weak and don't clamp the fuse very...
My Paktrakr was working fine and now it keeps reading overcharge on 1,3,5,or 2,4,6.I drove for 8 miles and there was no change. I know for a fact that the SOC...
I'm chasing down a grinding noise in the rear wheels of my 2006 pk w/2000 miles. I'm replacing the cracked CV boots also. I pulled the axle and looked in the...
I am hearing a grinding noise from the rear which I suspect is the fan. Is this a fix or replace item? I also hear a double knock sound when I ease of the...
You can reset the alerts by pushing the right button. If this does not work, remove the black wire on the remote for 10 seconds for a reset. If the problem...
Okay, so I went in to try and register my '06 Xebra. The person at the counter said that I needed proof that it was all electric. She suggested that I TRAILER...
When I upgraded batteries I also got a new charger for the Xebra. I took the old original issue battery charger out and it is sitting on my basement floor...
NO! it's designed forf 72V not 12V. It's also setup to charge a specific type of battery. Sell it or let it sit. DO NOT! hook it to anything less than 6 12V...
Wow, what a pain. I certainly didn't have to do that. Obviously depends on who you get at the counter, I guess. I'll pop you an email directly (off-list)...
No! They are a chineese total piece of junk! I wished I had never heard of Zap! ... From: Mark <navife@...> Subject: [Xebra_EV] to buy or not to buy? To:...
SOC can be confusing because it initially thinks the SOC is 100% when you connect up. I always look at the individual voltages, and if in doubt verify using a...
The charger controls the charge current using the voltage as feedback. If you connect it to12V instead of say 60V, it will sense an invalid voltage and...
I've had mine unplugged for a month now and I notice nothing different:Hdlights, tailights, horn. Radio what radio?- I actually destroyed it without regret...
On the PK the only use for the 12V aux battery (in my opinion) is the radio presets AND the ability to use safety flashers if after an accident the 72 volt...
Also in the 08 hatchback the two power ports have continuous power with the aux battery (which can be good or bad depending on what you leave plugged in), and...
Make sure your axle nuts are tight. ________________________________ From: Adam Neusbaum <adam.neusbaum@...> To: Xebra_EV@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday,...
Is there such a thing as keeping your batteries too topped off? We are currently using our zap for a 3 mile commute to work. Our work and home garages have...
It's good to do a 50% discharge every couple of weeks is my gut feeling. The nemesis of all lead-acid batteries is sulphation, an action which is halted when...
I had the same 'OVERCHARGE' warning show up consistently on the three batteries attached to one of the PakTrakr remotes. It took several resets of both remotes...
I think I have seen others post this topic but could not find an answer. The black rubber tie downs in m y Xebra are shot. I have battery rattle that adds to...
For lead-acid batteries, I understand that you'll get longer life if you don't go below fifty percent discharge and a more-shallow discharge than that means...
