I am finding that my A-Hr meter resets to zero. I just got my new charger (NG3), and went through an overnight charge cycle. I had hoped to see the # of A-Hr's...
I have a Zivan charger and the same thing happens. As the charge proceeds the AH meter get to about -5 ah or so, then gradually increases. I guess the...
Bill, The ng3 configured for 156 and gel batteries does not have a float charge so at the end of the charge cycle it just shuts down but the green light will...
I will pay attention next time. I think that the A-Hr meter electronics sets zero's the meter when it sees a negative going voltage spike. That is, when the...
Now that we are seeing in excess of 100 deg. F daily here is Las Vegas, I note that the air conditioner heat exchanger is blowing extremely hot air onto the...
sounds like you have a good idea but I would have it as a air gap rather than more insulation ,my logic is ,is the open space should dissipate the heat ...
I have a new Zivan NG3 charger, and did a full charge last night. The charger cut off automatically. The A-Hr meter reset itself to 0. I was pleased to get 40...
I think that there is already insulation in the front battery box. I am wondering if Solectria purposefully omitted a thermistor in the front battery box....
Bill, On the 97. The fan in the rear of the later model battery boxes is controlled by a snap switch in the rear battery thermal mangagement box (when it comes...
Is the charger still charging? I'm hoping you don't have a thermal runaway problem where the batteries get too hot and the voltages actually go to low for the...
The Amp-Hr got to -12 before the charger cut off. I did drive the car 33 miled today, and now it is back being charged. None of the batts are particularly hot....
If you use a Zivan charger make sure you use and properly install it's matching temp sensor. That would be the best way to avoid thermal runaway. You might...
I'm not really that knowledgeable about it, but hot batteries and maybe some hissing and sputtering sounds from the batteries would be symptoms to look for. I...
Has anybody here run into a problem with their NLG4s not correctly sensing voltages? I've got one that read 169 volts while monitoring it using the Monlog...
I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago. My voltmeter was reading voltages in the same range. I threw it away and bought a new one. It was over 30...
Good idea on the renot thermometers. If I ever get around to making a BMS I will add battery box temperature to display. There is no such thing as too little...
I have a 110 volt charger that draws 17 amps. I used one of the Kill-a-Volt meters briefly, but their rating is 15 amps. The charger was on for 7 hours. This...
No this is actually the charger reading the wrong voltage and overcharging my batteries. The 210 volts was the real voltage, the 169 is what the charger...
A Zivan 110 charger, I believe, charges the batteries at about 8 amps so 7 hours seems about right for a 40AH charge. Sounds like you had some kind of hiccup...
Very good observation! Why did I not think of that? Bill s ... From: Stephen Taylor <sparrow262@...> To: solectria_ev@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, June...
Greetings all: Great minds think alike. Mike Rydjord said that he decided to work on the heater now that it was 80 degrees. How funny, I just got out of my...
Gary, Azure may well have the switch. I find them not very responsive but when I finally call enough times to get someone they seem to have things. The relay...
please post more about your fun and games with the rear brake adjuster. I need an education. Doug Jackson adjackson3.org ... [Non-text portions of this...
This applies to my 97 Force and probably the following years. But I can't be sure. It is definitely not a recommendation that you fix your own brakes. Having...
Hello, Does anyone know if the speed sensor in the motor is the same on the E-10 as the one on the Force? I have plans to buy a 1998 Force that is currently...
Could you post an image. I would like to know if it is a standard rotary encoder. Has anyone ever taken the plate off of the end of the AC motor? Is there any...
Jerry - Your post caught my eye because of your mention of an E-10 for sale. Do you have any info or know how/where s/he is selling it? We just donated our gas...
I have had some experience with the speed sensor. When I bought my 1999 Force, it had all kinds of gearbox problems. Eventually, I had to replace it with a new...
Great photos. I have wondered about the internal makeup of the gearbox. I need to go out and check the oil in my gearbox. The speed sensor is an encoder with...
I believe there is a differential. Judging from what I saw in the old gearbox, the lower end where the half axles are inserted appears to be stock or near...
