... I do plan on complete charges. Our of curiosity, if I don't use equalizers with the individual charging, why is it necessary to have identical charging...
Suppose one had a string of three batteries in series with equalizers, such as the BattEQs, connected between them. (BattEQs are switched capacitor devices...
This circuit is set for its higher version (24v) . BUT if u change the zener it can adjust it with a voltmeter and and play with the Rs to set it to whatever...
It's funny and sad at the same time, Tracy. Two cents a gallon has to go to the state, according to the article. As the article suggested, perhaps someone...
In my earlier days, I "processed" thirteen different VW manufactured vehicles. I recognize that I was wasteful and foolish in my youth, but I certainly...
I always thought the very first cars were the wood-fired ones. (No, I'm not joking: before there were gasoline-powered cars, there were cars with a double wood...
The whole idea is that if you use the road, you help pay for it. While vehicles that damage the road should pay more (and they often do, by burning more fuel...
Good question, I don't know if it (temp light) works or not, I need to make sure before I drive it. I'll let you know where I end up at on the suspension, I'm...
Of course I'm a liar... I can't afford one of those! That's the whole point. If I did I wouldn't be hanging around the Xebra board here with you nice folks...
If the Tesla Roadster was on a car lot, ready to be driven away, I'd buy one today. I'm looking at the Xebra because it's just about the only electric car ...
To get the batteries up to the same charge without a battery management system, you basically "overcharge" the batteries until they all get a full complete...
Daniel, Yeah I guess so. I don't want anyone to get mad at me for not paying my fair share. I didn't decide to drive electric to avoid any taxes. Those guys...
Daniel, Please don't go put that in stone yet. I felt the same way you do BEFORE I got my first electric vehicle. I was pleasantly suprised that my feelings...
I like this one. Maybe we can find a way with the Xebras to make eggs, toast, and bacon. That way we can show it to Ed Begley Jr who now pedals his bike to...
I know nobody drives electric to avoid the gas tax. But when electric becomes the norm, there will have to be a tax of some sort to pay for the roads. I'm just...
Nothing's in stone. But 40 miles is too short for me to be satisfied with, once longer range is available. I also want freeway capability for when I go to...
Actually, I think that some people in certain states already pay double when they register an electric vehicle including a hybrid like the Prius. They are ...
Someone at the EVDL bench-tested the BattEQ devices, and found that they only equalized ~80mA, not 16A. IMHO, it doesn't perform as advertised and is imho a...
This is an important point that many seem to miss. Sean _____ "Discharge imbalance is of no concern as long as no battery is run flat and the pack is...
I now stand corrected. I just took my SD to the scale and it was 2040. Moved off the scale and went back to look. 215 my weight. so there was a tare on the...
I would like to stress the NO BATTERY IS RUN FLAT part. If you have a weak one, one that didn't balance properly, or got a lower amount of charge, it will kill...
Tracy, in the summer, I pedal to my clients and by the end of the day, I'm toast! The other day, when I was adding 13" wheels, I noticed one of the battery...
Jpseph, That won't help Daniel. He's looking for a "full featured" EV car not SUV. He doesn't like suvs. So first "full featured" electric car out of the gate...
