You can check the voltage between any 2 points in the pack wiring with a multimeter. One battery is going to be just that battery. But always be safe while...
hello all, Sparky got a new battery pack almost two months ago. This is the 97 Force (red color) with 30,000 miles. Thunderstruck Motors did the replacement...
Following up on previous post from last year. I was having trouble with 220v charger in 97 Force. After plugging in, the charger would wait for hours or days...
Careful... if the PFC charger you referred to is a Rudman/Manzanita Micro unit, it is *not* isolated. You don't say what the other charger. If they are both...
Ok 92 and 93 owners, does anybody know the maximum voltage for the AMC320 system. I know that it is designed for a 144 volt pack, but they vary a lot up to...
Colleagues: I am using 8G27s also.? I got 32K miles out of the last set although my range went down to 15 miles until I finally got new ones.? Although they...
Motor Controller - Induction motor controller Model AMC320 Nominal bus voltage -Vdc 144 Maximum bus voltage -Vdc 180 Nominal bus current Idc 160 Maximum...
Mike, Thanks very much. When I ordered the new batteries, they were configured like 12v but the lithium has a greater range putting the same number of modules...
40 lithium-ion cells in series is what you want. :) 40 * 3.6V nominal = 144 volts. 40 * 4.2V max charge voltage = 168 volts. 40 * 3.0V min dischage voltage =...

The cruise control is simple to implement on a solectria force or any other vehicle with ONE motor controller in it. You just need 2 diodes and 2 push button...

This is probably a problem with the motor encoder, does shudder when going in reverse at a very slow speed? I have also noticed that the LEDs in the motor...

When cheking the batteries on an E-10, you want to isolate each series string from each other (pull the big black main battery disconnect). If you don't do...

You have got my attention. My 1999 Force has been giving me problems for more than a year. I get the shudder/bucking/jerking when I have been driving for...
Adjusting the encoder gap, as outlined in the manual, is straight forward. You just need to make a gaping tool that you can hold in your fingers. I used a...
Joel & Wolf,I have a couple of questions. Joel I'm guessing you meant AHs and not KW in your post. KW would equaint to amps. Also I wanted to make sure that...
yes, you are correct, should be AH. The batteries are gel cell, same spec as original (as far as I can determine). I will drive as conservatively as possible...
Hi folks, Sadly I need to send my 1997 Force to a loving family. It's like the one below, except I removed the old batteries to upgrade to the Ovonic EV-1 NiMH...
Thanks to everybody for your advice on the batteries. I checked each battery and sure enough found one that was putting out less than 10v. I replaced it last...
I posted some pictures of the Force to the groups pictures/1997 Force for Sale folder. Note that an ICS-200 will be included. Also this Force was seldom...
Definitely sounds like you need to adjust the encoder gap. It is very sensitive to this. The reason it is worse in regen or reverse is that the helical gears...
I have recently purchased a 1997 Force with AGM batteries installed. The charger is most likely set for the original Gel batteries. I will be installing...
You need a PC with a serial port to connect to the charger. The usb to serial adapters don't work at all well for me with the NLG.exe software, older dedicated...
I am still in the shake down mode but today I finally got some encouraging results from my upgrade to LiFePo4 batteries.I took a different approach from most...
Can you provide more tech details on the battery pack? I'm also interested in a "low range" conversion. Sorry if I missed a previous post where you gave the...
Bouty, I have the same questions about weather or not you are using a BMS or not. Here's why. I ran a few 40ah cells in my truck for 400 miles of total...
