Phil, What's the news on the Valence battery upgrade? Have you found out what your range actually is now versus what you predicted? Who do we contact for...
Hello Dan I have been talking to Marc at Valence for a couple of years about their batteries. If we can get a thousand battery order we can get a quantity ...
how much money we talking and how much more range can we get? I just bought new odyssey pc1200's but could easily sell them for a 100 or so each and recover my...
How much more range? I believe it would take a Force to around 100 miles Stephen could say he has had them for about two years I think. The other thing is...
Yes I have taken my Valence powered Force 100 miles on several occassions, but the max range isn't currently much more than 100 miles, meaning if I run the AC...
Valence batteries are finally within a day or two of being fitted. Will be on holiday till last week in Sept but as soon as I get any range info I will send...
How did you adjust the controller and charger? What other adjustments did you make? If you don't mind me asking, what was the cost of the batteries. - Will ...
One of my EVs is a 1994 BAT Intl. Geo Metro conversion. It's a 144v dc system powered by 12 group 30 AGMs made by Universal battery that were installed in May...
Yes, sometimes I get a thin odor of acid from my Deka gels. My BC3KW charger doesn't shut down after a full charge but instead continues to run the meter...
Mark: I have 2- 3 year old MK Batteries in my force with 16K miles on them and probably 1000 cycles. No order, no sign of venting. Sincerely, Gary Carlson ......
I have never seen any venting since I replaced my batteries and charger (BC3000 = NLG4). But when I first got my Force the charger was overcharging the...
Hello Mark AGM batteries should not be venting. They do vent when they are overcharged. The venting is a safety release of too much pressure. The AGM are...
Mark, My 13 gels (east penn) don't vent. Nor have any of the agm batteries I have ever owned. If your sure your not out of balance or putting to much current...
Everyone, I, for one, am prepared to replace my batteries with lithium. Assuming the installation, regeneration, and charging issues can be resolved, why don't...
Ken and all, I don't think there are any issues with installation, regeneration or charging. The Valence U27 is pretty much a drop in replacement for a Pba...
Hi Mike, This is the first new pack I have installed in the Geo. At least some of them were venting when new. Additionally I did notice emissions from at least...
Hello Mark I would contact who you bought the battery from as soon as possible and let them know. They should not be just venting. Don In a message dated...
Mike, Ken and all I have been talking to Marc at Valence for two years about these batteries. I was hoping that moving production to China would lower the...
I put in group 27 Valence Batteries in my Force as they are an exact replacement for our Gel batteries. Installation calls for a couple of relays to be...
Hi all, Got an e-mail from Valence today that included the following: Discounts with quantity (for U-Charge – not the BMS or BDI): 50-249: 27% 250-999: 32% ...
Ken, Great idea, but they've got to do better on the price. Isn't that about 10 times the cost of sealed lead acid? Randy Saxton ... [Non-text portions of...
Don't forget they last at least 3 times as long (in years and miles) and at least twice the range. Therefore, to make the comparison fair, you have to multiply...
Keep in mind that the lithium pack weighs 300 pounds less, has more than twice the range, and should last longer. This is an major upgrade in every way. The...
Hello Ken I like the idea of starting a list. It also looks like Marc was giving me a better price if we can get a 1000 battery order 40% off list price. 1000...
Dan If they have 2000 cycles at 80% DOD and your range is 80 miles that is 160,000 miles before you hit 2000 cycles. At 20,000 miles your at about the end of ...
