Having passive cooling while driving would be good but I don't believe it would be enough by itself to always keep them from over heating while driving. A...
Ackkkkk!!!!! That makes about 8.5 volts/battery. You don't want to pull a 12-volt lead acid battery below about 10.5 volts - below this there is significant...

My Toyota made RAV4 EV with NiMH batteries uses fans continuously during charging to cool the batteries and also turns on while driving if any of the...
I thought the controllers in the cars were programmed to stop running at 140 volts or so, is that not true? I imagined there might be some flex in that...
While looking into acquiring a NIMH force, I did some pretty good research on the batteries. I decided that there was no way I could safely (for the...
Hi guys, Thank you for all of your input. I'm about to get into the Force to go to BART. I'll record the numbers and let you know exactly what I experience.....
Noel, Besides already having the NIMH batteries on hand, can I ask what your motivation is to not stick with Pb batteries. Do you have an exceptionally long...
Hello all, A quick introduction. I've already corresponded with some of you and thank you so much for the help you've already given. My wife and I took...
Nick, You can get the NLGMON program at http://www.brusa.biz/e_software.htm -- Download monlog_e.exe. It's a DOS program FYI, I am just finishing up a Windows...
... Thanks Tom! ... That'd be neat. ... I thought the initialization was only performed once, as a "commissioning" charge... I'll try to get the monlog...
So I open the trunk to unplug my 120V extension cord and I had the three winking red lights. So much for driving it to BART. I replugged it in again at 9:00...
Hi everyone, I got my new Force and am digging it..I have some addition questions, but thought it would be best to put them in as separate posts so here's my...
I've heard you can get something to put between the plug in outlet and the extension cord which will tell you how much electricity has been used....thought...
Has anyone in snowy areas put winter tires on their Force? I'm thinking about studs for those icy days because even though it's front wheel drive I think...
Hi Noel, My Force dash was pretty trashed too (oxidized and all) and I just got a dashboard cover for it....It seemed the cheap simple way to stop the eye pain...
Does anyone know if the % of Charge meter came standard with the Force? I have one that is sitting beneath the cigarette lighter. It has three lights on the...
Lisa: What kind of power source are you using? 120volt or 240 volt? There is a plug in product for a standard 120 volt outlet called: Kill A Watt (Model...
Lisa: I went to Les Schwab in Boise and got studded snow tires for my 1992 Force. I put studs on all fours. When I get out to the barn, I will let you know ...
Okay, I've got the 96 Force from the not-to-be-named company I was warned about. All in all it's doing okay, but I wanted to check with everyone after...
Hi Gary, I'm familiar with Kill A Watt - you can just leave it in the wall on an appliance/plug in indefinitely? I thought it was just sort of a once in a...
Yes, I'd appreciate knowing which ones you put on it...also, when you winter drive do you also flip the braking from regen to slippery? Thanks so much! Lisa ...
Great idea. Thanks Lisa. Did you get one of the NJ Forces? Where are you that you are thinking of Studs? Noel L ________________________________ From:...
... Ideally, it only has to happen once. However, any time the charger has lost the status of the pack you need to do an initialization charge to get them...
Hi Noel, No, I got mine from ZAP! It actually came out of Tennessee originally. It's a 96 with 7K on it,the trash was trashed but otherwise the inside...
The 156 volts refers to the nominal voltage of thirteen 12 volt batteries. The battery charger should be plugged into a 220 volt outlet although it can use a...
The charge has completed! The Ah meter is showing -3.0 and the voltage is showing 165 volts. I'll drive it at lunch and provide some data. Thanks all, Noel L ...
