Folks: When I got into my 1992 Force this morning, the belt between the motor and the transmission broke and the motor now spins helplessly when I put my foot...
I just received a call from a Force owner that is not on this list who's car just died. She was driving it along and is shuttered and then made a grinding...
That almost sounds like what my second Force was like when I got it. Mine would make awful crunching noises when pushed by hand, but when you applied power it...
I had heard of belt failures but never gear box failures. I'll let her know. We will need to find someone that can take the motor assembly out of the car for...
I jut had a second thought on this. You might want to also check the CV joints. It is rare, but I have heard of a CV joint failing (though not on an EV) and...

Hey, This is my first time on the board. I've looked at the other messages and didn't find a match to my problem. On my 1992 Geo metro Force, which I've had...

Hi All I am new to this forum with a red 97 Force. My question is: what is the cost to charge the batteries? A vague question indeed, but I am living in a...
Here is a rough and ready way to calculate this. Make the assumption that you get 3 miles per KWH (that will be pretty close to your actual). Now your cost...
Noel's calculation is a good, easy way to do this. Don't charge on 110 vac for too long. It is very hard on the charger. The 110vac option is not intended to...
Peter, I too have a NiMH Force 4 door (1996 model). I have converted to PbA, however I still have all the original paperwork. I'll check to see if I have...
If you telephone Solectria don't just leave a number, keep trying. Kevin, at Solectria, said that was the best way, just keep calling until you get him. I...
I will echo Will's advice. Don't charge on the 110 for too much longer. I killed my first charger by using too much 110. I had to replace it with a new one...
This is very dicouraging. My charger developed a tick. I thought that I could get it repaired. It is so old that there is no information on it. Solectria has...
Solectria has been selling an alternative charger that they make. Do they not have those anymore? If not there are other options, including the PFC-50 or...
... When I needed a new charger three years ago, I was tempted to try building my own. But I ended up buying a Zivan NG-3; it was under a thousand dollars. I...
About a month ago I sent my charger to Chuck Connors at Solectria for repair and during the time it was there he offered to sell me one BC3300 for $2500, down...
Have you tried EVParts.com? They list the Zivan NG3 in both 120 VAC and 220 VAC models for $879 and the larger NG5 for $1230. I use the larger NG5 model in...
Greetings all: I am a new member and am in the process of upgrading my 1992 Solectria Force to a Brusa AMC 320 controller. It originally had an AMC300. The...
Sounds like a cool project, Gary. If you want to put up photos and other information about the conversion, I'll be happy to post it on my Solectria owner's...

... IMOHO, the Zivan has a nasty finish-charge algorithm, and will shorten the life of anything but flooded batteries. Might want to check if Zapi has chips to...
Thanks for the feedback. You helped me confirm my decision to get the Zivan, in that I have new flooded batteries and the price was less than $1000, with the...
... Good. I have floodeds too. I'm not getting the capacity I should, but I'm still trying. I was hoping to get those little watering caps... the ones with...
