I would like to be able to charge my Force from an ungrounded outlet, e.g. someone's dryer plug. I wouldn't mind the risk that the car body would become...
... The drier outlet should have a third pin that is grounded. If it isn't, any drier plugged into it would be unsafe to use, as an ancidental short of either...

... Wow, slow response here. I actually lucked out on the heater. When I converted my Civic I just used two elements from inexpensive cube heaters. I had a...
We all most probably agree that most problems with electric drives are battery related. I have been driving my Force for almost exactly a year. Before that I...
Well, maybe I will add my four cents on batteries, especially gels..... I am still collecting data, but have been disapointed with the performance of a new set...

Dave, I think that the IBT might have saved you a bunch of time. One thing I learned from my experience was that a bad battery or two will affect the overall...
For those who might be interested; I am offering to sell my Solectria E-10 pickup. It will be listed on the Evtradin’ Post in the next day or so. For many...

Thanks for your comments. Good description of a gel equalization process, David. I have a bench power supply that I can use in a constant current mode below ...

Greetings all: Is there a high quality battery charger for Solectria Forces that can run off of 120 or 240 volts? Right now I am hauling around two chargers...
Solectria actually had a in the early years, a solar panel on the top of its Force. They used a Brusa solar tracker for charging. The panel was rather small...

A lot of EV hobbyists like the Manzanita Micro PFC chargers. They're quite cheap for the output they provide. I don't want to sound like I'm down on them,...
Does anyone know how to adjust the NLG4 programming so that it doesn't need temperature sensors? I'm testing a charger in a Solectria Sunrise and do not have...
Hmmm. I'm finally getting my NiCD Force back in commission and think I've discovered a problem, and thought I'd run it by you guys for a reality check. To...
You're charging from 240VAC, not 120, right? Otherwise you'll certainly not get more than 4.5A. The charger has a digital interface which should tell you what...
Yeah, I always charge on 240V. I opened the charger to check the fuses, figuring half the charger was dead. Immediately on opening it I smelled THE SMELL --...
Hello to all, Just joined the group. I'm going to need to replace my original battery pack soon. I'm thinking of going lithium. Havn't chosen between gel and...
I've installed Valence Lithium Group 27 Batteries in my 1997 Force and they are a wonder. Although I haven't measured any of the vital statistics they...

Wow Stephen this sounds fantastic. Dying for more details. Just want to confirm, was your 1997 force originally a lead acid force? What were all the costs...
I'm still having problems with my Force just cutting out while driving. I got some information from Solectria on how to connect a computer to the controller...

I think you will need a long RS232 cord and run it back thru a window of the car so the lap top can sit on the front seat. With the Sunrise I have they...
