GeorgeB, Based on my 7 mos experience you have a good handle on understanding Lithiums, the upper and lower cell voltage limits vary with different makes of...
Where to start? I assume the controller has voltage limits that are viewable through the programming interface. I have not run the program yet. So the trick is...
I recently purchased a 1998 Force and a couple of citivans that have been sitting for two years. Before parked they held a charge and operated fine. I suspect...
You might want to try charging them individually with a desulfanator charger like a BatteryMinder. It will take a day or more per battery but you may actually...
Ted: Another Ever I know had a similar situation. He used some type of desulfating charger. It had some type of AC superimposed on the DC during charging....
A bit of ccaching will be appreciated. Driving a '98 Force. The relay controlling my vacuum pump failed by running continuously (unless hit with a hammer...
P.S. I broke into the old relay and found, as expected, that two of the contacts are seriously pitted. I wonder, therefore, if the current exceeds the 25 amp...
I have a 99 Solectria Force. I'm trying to collect all the information I can about changing the batteries before I start. I have the first edition service...
The pitting is probably due to the fact that the vacuum switch is not waterproof. Over time the contacts get corroded, the resistance goes up, and you get...
I have my vacuum pump set to turn on if less then 15 IN-H20, and off at 19 IN-H20 http://www.wolftronix.com/E10/images/P6160203.jpg Oh, and the Red E-10 truck...

Hi, I have a 2001 Force with a 156V PbA pack. Today I noticed something alarming: I am able to measure 60VDC across Battery Pack positive and the chassis...
Y-Caps. The motor controller(s) should have y caps in them that are tied to ground. These will make it a shocking experience if you get yourself between them...
Quin, you can check very easily if your controller is the problem by unplugging it. You can also distinguish resistive and capacitative leaks by disconnecting...
Hi, I forgot to mention that when I took the measurements my controller was unplugged, all the fuses had been removed from the EV fusebox, the charger was...
I guess I'll go ahead and hook up the lock-out circuit on the NG3 now, after I reattach the service to the wall. Probably should close the barn too door while...
Or simply drape the power cord over the driver's side mirror and across the door... Cheers, Allan ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
My Force vacuum pump is now running all the time. I narrowed the problem to the pressure switch. After ten years of use, the contacts on the switch have been...
It could very well be that you have a contact problem, but in my experience the usual cause of the vacuum switch failing to open is just that it is sticky and...
My vacuum switch also intermittently sticks in the on position. WD-40 fixes it for a few months usually. The correlating factor is humidity - when it happens,...
I have retrofitted a programmable Parker Hannifin vacuum sensor as follows: It has a readout to let you see the vacuum level, as well as the hysteresis trip...
Smile and be happy that the vacuum pump switch fails on and not off. The equally underated heater relay seems to stick in the off position. The vacuum pump...
I went thru my saved e-mail and could not find any chat that would help me find a dealer for Thundersky Lithium Battery purchase. If you know a a dealer please...
I have had dealings with enginer as well and am happy. I actually am not that far from them and picked up the batteries rather than have them shipped. Jack...
