Hi Joshua, Let me give you an update. The original tire installer (Discount Tires) inflated the Sumitomo's to 32psi and I had poor efficiency numbers. In...
I have reluctanty come to the conclusion that I should sell my 1997 Force and I thought I would offer it on the group first. It [Non-text portions of this...
Sorry about partial last post (I shouldn't try to multitask). Here is the specs on the Force. It has 4780 miles on it, it has air conditioning and electric...
... I'm confused. Did you have 155/80R13 before? I thought (see http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=46) that the rim-to-tread distance...
Hi again from Doug, I live in the San Francisco bay area and go over highway 17 to Santa Cruz weekly and I use to pull the grades in 4th gear with ease. The...
Charlie, Based on his message I expect that there is one bad battery in the pack that needs to be replaced. No big deal and the price is right. -Will From:...
I would figure your going to have to replace the pack. Yes it might have one bad battery and you might get a few more miles out them but AGM batteries are very...
I've had success with balancing batteries in my truck conversion using Soneil 1212SRs, one per 12V segment in the string. You should be able to put 13 of these...
Wolf: Travel and a broken computer interrupted my repair efforts on my idle Solectria. I did download the user manual to which you referred, before leaving...
I read in the fine print in the manual, that the battery voltage needs to be applied for a minute before shorting the pins. It worked for me. Thanks,Bill S Ph...
I looked at these chargers before and think it is probably the future of charging. The chargers that are offer now have some problem though, they are not...
Hello, does anyone know if either my 1993 geo metro solectria or my 1997 gm ev pickup qualify for the new obama-signed 7500.00 tax credit. I need to do my...
I was able to acquire an inductive (paddle) charger system that I believe was used with the old EV1s. I have the base unit and two car mounted modules. Dose...
Ventilation is certainly important for any charger (and battery). When using the 1212SR chargers, I have both ventilation of outside air into the battery and...
Scroll to the very bottom of this page for some info on paddle chargers. <http://www.hawkins.info/LPI> Thanks,Bill S Ph 832-338-3080 www.hstech.biz ...
Tom, The EV1 did use an inductive system, the Toyota Rav4EV is probably the remaining primary user. Solectria also offered the inductive option and it is most...
Thanks to all for the information. I'll try going down this road a bit further as it looks like an interesting design if not way overly complex. Do you have...
A while ago I had to replace the holder for the KLKD30 fuse that goes between the charger and the battery pack on my Force. I used a Littelfuse LEB fuse...

If after shorting out pins 1 and 14 with no "thunk" then either the standby supply has failed or the main supply has failed. The next thing I would check is...

With all due respect, it is a Toyota Prius. While both my wife and I drive Toyotas and love them, it would have been much more significant if it was American...
Thanks, Bill: I take it you mean full pack voltage, is that correct? When I made that test -- pins 1 to 14 -- 12v control voltage was applied, but I think...
Thanks for asking. It is mentioned on page 20 of this link at Kruspan <http://www.kruspan.ch/assets/downloads/Manual_AMC_III_Kruspan_V042005.pdf> Thanks,Bill S...
"All 48 States"? Have we lost two? Granted, you can't drive a PHEV directly to Hawaii, but there still needs to be either a qualifier or a date in there...
"visited all 48 states of the contiguous United States of America" The Spirit has a PHEV conversion made in the US. It is a nice feat that it has visited all...
