Hi Ken, I was in the same boat you are in last year. My work has 120V and I have 240V at home with a broken NLG4. I bought an NLG5 from Metric Mind and have...
I'm in the same boat - I have a '97 Force with 156 V Deka 8G27 gel batteries. My Solectria BC1600 120 Vac charger went belly up. I was ready to by a Zivan...
My NLG5 Brusa charger is becoming flakey and I have been considering going to individual chargers. I am including a past note posted by Allan Poulsen (see...
I am running a set of Soneil 1212RS. The down side is at 5 amps, it is kind of slow. I purchased them direct from Soneil for a very good price. Because of...
Dear Bob, Thanks again for the recommendation. I've had a long conversation with Greg McCrea. This seems like a very good unit at an attractive price. At...
Is the charger really 4000 watts? Last fall Greg talked about this unit, but it was going to be 1500 watts or less whether using 240 volts or 120 volts from...
Dan - We are in Santa Clara and could give you a test ride. I've got a 96 Force, had it almost 3 years and 20k miles. Also stephen has an E-10 truck, you can...
Hi Stephen, Yes, the charger really is 4,000 watts. There is also a 1,500 watt unit as you mentioned. Even more surprising is that Greg also has a 5,000 Watt...
Intriguing, but the skeptic in me says too good to be true? Who makes this charger? Is it isolated? Temp sensor/compensation? ... -- Jim Coate *The Electric...
I read in a blog that the HF/PFC looks like this charger from Delta-Q Here is the link http://www.delta-q.com/products/quiq.shtml Here is the blog: ...
Howdy, I was successful in uploading the files to the solectria_ev Yahoo group website and tried to post a message saying so over an hour ago. Somehow, the...
According to Greg McCrea, it is isolated and there is temperature compensation (only one channel, naturally). The current draw on 110VAC can be programmed,...
The real problem as I understand it is obtaining them these days. Though I have to say I know responsible disposal is easier than it used to be. -- ...
Saft nicads... I had obtained 3 26 ft aps systems electric buses from the grand canyon. Each bus had 108 saft 6v stm180 batteries in two strings of 54 for a...
There were several NiCD Forces made by Solectria. I have one of them. Unfortunately, my original set of batteries went bad. A couple actually ruptured. ...
Larry Mills: AMPEATR is in Boise, ID (Idaho) BTW:? With sealed Gel batteries, my car is just loving the warmer (80+ F) weather. Lead acid batteries work best...
Stephen, How did the Valence Lithium batteries work out for you? What kind of range did you get? How many total miles were you able to put on them? What did...
Post from a long time ago. The Valence Batteries intially gave me a range of about 120 miles. They have worked flawlessly, but their capacity has gone...
I have 250 Saft flooded nicad cells in my truck. About 18-19k miles on them so far. Range is 40% of what it use to be. 50% reduction even with an equalization...
My friend has a 99 Force with a BC3300 charger. He wants to use Discover AGMs instead of the Deka gels. Obviously there would be serious charger issues here....
I am sure he wants to use the Discover because they are priced less. The Discover might be a good battery in lighter duty use. However when used in EV's they...
I have installed a set of Lifeline G27 AGMs. These came recommended by a close EV friend and that perspective was backed up by Jim Ramos. For "balancing" and...
The Lifeline is an expensive AGM battery. I have never heard anything bad about them except the price. I believe their cost is right up there or more then the...
If his charger is a Brusa NLG4 version of the BC3300 the charger itself should not be a isue at all. It can be reprofiled to charge just about anything. AGMs...
I think the thing to look at is the cycle life. Deka quotes 600 cycles to 80% depth of discharge. In my experience AGMs usually give a little over 300...
