Hi folks, I just got a call from Don Buckshot, and he reported his TEVan (NiFe) is down to about 15 to 18 miles range. The dash mounted fuel gauge drops to E ...
Mike, This sounds very similiar to what my TEVan (NiCad) was doing. Of course, the next thing that happened was that the charger stopped working too. Last ...

Hello, 18 miles range? That's pretty crappy for the NiFe's. Either a battery is bad or there is a loose connection somewhere. Maybe Don could change the E...
I think everybody knows I have extra parts here. If there is a serious problem with a burnt controller I can fix it. The biggest problem with the TEVan was the...
Maybe I will try the other American Monarch GPD-I, 216V charger I got with the van and see if the original charger is not "fillin' them up" after I return home...

Bryan, Rod will know better, I'm sure, but my understanding is that the NiFe batteries are pretty stout and will last about forever. I don't think it's ...

David, I haven't tried to replace mine, but I do know the dealers are no help and don't support the TEVan. I'm forwarding your request to the TEVan list as ...

David, I never had problems with the battery box blower and it is one of the few parts I don't have as a spare. If you have taken the unit out, measure the...
Rod and others, My low gear selector switch has gone out, and while thinking about things, can you tell me exactly what the switches do? My theory is that the...

... If I recall correctly, the low gear switch must be depressed for reverse to work (there really isn't a reverse gear, it is just low with the motor spinning...
Dave, Any NiCd's sitting around? check out my web page, hower.iwarp.com You're right about the low/high switch and regen. I have the software attached to this...
Regen occurs whenever you hit the brakes, whether you are in low or high gear. The regen should increase as you press harder on the brake pedal, but I have...
Rod, I looked at your web page and had trouble with some of the links. Clicking on the pictures did nothing, but the links on the left worked. Saw the ...

Dave, I unplug my battery pack whenever I want to force watering. I hate hooking up that dionizer every time, so after 1000-2000 amp hours I'll unplug the...
