I just purchaced a used 1992 force, which has been fitted with some sort of AGM battery and a Zivan NG3 charger. It came with two old, broken, "Solectria...
I like my gels and they have been holding up well. One thing I have noticed is that my mother's car gets more amp hours from her pack than I do. I have been...
My 1999 Force went through 4 Solectria BC3300 chargers under warranty. My fifth charger died this year. More than 90% of charging was done from 220 VAC in my...
I have put images of previous Woodburn Drags and links to Woodburn details on the main http://eaaev.org page. I have asked OEVA who is attending and I am...
... Dang, that has to be some sort of record, Fred. I had one die about 10 months into owning my '97 Force. Solectria shipped me out a replacement and it's...
I recently heard that the charger has problems with 220vac and works much more reliably at 208vac. Might explain why many of us who charge at home are the...
Well, if Peter's experience is any example, it doesn't really make any difference because of the design of the Brusa which I understand is really two 110vac...

Since the one in the back is on a positive terminal should the one in the front be on a negative one or doesn't it matter? Tom Hudson <tomhudson@...>...
... It doesn't matter. There's no electrical connection; just thermal. When you have it all attached, you might apply some more silicone sealant to the area...
My 1999 NiCD Force's charger is not working. I ran the car today using about 40 ah. When I came back and plugged in everything seemed fine, but evidently the...
Stephen, Don't charge the batteries until you have the Brusa charger fixed, if you can help it. Unlike lead-acid batteries, those NiCDs can sit discharged...
Stephen & List members, I spoke to one of the Solectria techs today about some stuff and brought up the charger failures people have seen recently. He gave me...
