Hey Solectrians, First of all, I'm including Walt Hand's message in this thread (below) since he had part numbers on the blue capacitors [or "thingies"; as I...
I've put some new pictures on my Lithium installation blog. I'm only able to work on the car on Saturdays lately, maybe this week I'll take a few days off work...
Just curious. How many of the 4 cell groupings could have fit in the front box? It looks to me that at least 5 could have based on the 2 you have in there...
I have seen Ev's with sets of wires going from rear to front battery box without going thru vehicle, but installed under vehicle in flexible conduit screwed to...
I installed mine in 1/2" EMT (not flex). There is a hole under the back seat that you can pull the wires up through. In front, I stopped the conduit under...

I could possibly have a good cap board... In the "broken" charger row: http://www.wolftronix.com/BC3300/IMG_6705.JPG However, since the cap board seems to be...
Hi Stephen, You are right, five of the 4-cell packs will easily fit in the front battery box. Rough measurements say that six of the packs would be ½" too...
My E10 is now down to about 10 miles range . I don't want to put alot into batteries because in about 9 months a new battery is coming out from EcoLoCap . I...
I've had a few questions and suggestions from people on this list regarding the Lithium switch and I thought I'd share the messages so that we can all ponder...
Wolf, Wow that's really photo detailed and you have put a ton of effort into designing that box, however I was hoping I could get the Cruise Control stick from...

I have a set of Eric's batteries in my 97. Presently using the SSW-100 battery which is pretty much a drop in replacemnt for the group 27. It is rated at a...
Been away for awhile. The drums on some of the Geo models have what appear to be extra holes in them. Sometimes these line up with a threaded hole in the axle...
Hey Stephen, I was wrong. 24 of the 100 Ah cells (six 4-packs) will fit in the front box. It's tight on the ends, but I didn't have to push anything. Thanks...
everything I have read and done requires the ends of the cells to be against a very solid surface like steel, infact they are so post to be compressed at the...
Hey all: Have not heard much lately so I thought I would chime in. Many of you may know that I have been attempting to sell a fully functional 1995...

Electric vehicle price is directly proportional to the price of gas... just wait till this summer when gas is over $4.00 a gallon. ;) Wolf *wags his tail* ...
I agree. Probably you should just wait. I don't understand why the price of Forces is so depressed right now. The price of gas is one reason, but I suspect...
As pointed out by others, the price seems to follow gas. I would guess that at $2.50/gal a Force would be worth about $5K and at $5/gal, it would be worth...
Jim, I am trying to sell my 94 geo metro on ebay for 5555.00 A year ago it would have sold first day listed. This or any other ev which is in working condition...
Fellow EVers: Is it possible that with the PHEVs on the way from GM (Government Motors) and Toyota, that people are willing to wait for an EV from a big...
I would say it is many of the things everyone has brought up. I have noticed in the past that EVs have never sold well this time of year. Come spring they did...
If so, they are suckers if they think they are coming 'soon'.The Chevy volt has been "coming next year" for the past 10 years. When they do come, there will...
I ran the BMS wires up to the front battery box today. This sounds simple, but it took most of the day with two trips to the hardware store. Looking back, it...
Paul, Nice pictures @ blogspot. I have run cat5 cable both inside and under my car and IMO dealing with the inside trim pieces, carpet and seats is much more...
... In the long run, under the car in conduit is more upgradeable and provides much better protection (which is imperative if those wires have high voltage...
Do the "blocks" have end plates and banding around the outside? This would keep the pressure constant without relying on the battery box. ... -- Jim Coate *The...
As a follow up, Azure/Solectria confirmed custom springs were used in the '97 rear end, but no more are available. So at this point I may take my remaining...
Stock springs and bags would likely work well. But bagging a small spring like the Geo wouldn't be fun. Having springs made isn't all that expensive if there...
