Tom, I'll try. Frank, I will forward your e-mail to the yahoo TeVan list. Some folks may have info there. I believe an EPIC owner might be on the list now...
Ha! Frank and I have been in touch since last summer. I have a box for each of my vans but don't know where he can get another. Thanks for remembering me. ...
... Did you find a female plug for charging your TEVan? I have two, maybe three, and may be able to let one go. I'm surprised there isn't a source for these...
Rod, or anyone else who might know, I have a diagnostic guage and the cable to connect it to the silver port at the front of the controller box-- but do I have...
I recently purchased a NiCad TEVan from Jeffrey Richards, who purchased it last November from Dave Davidson. Jeffrey did a tremendous amount of work on it,...
I had an Israel engineer visit Ametek a couple of years back and he said the same plug was used on an Apache helicopter. I never verified this, but maybe you...
The control switches at 4khz (2kHz during regen). IGBT's back in the early 90's had relatively high switching losses, so this was a compromise to reduce ...
I couldn't find the function codes in a neat list at work, but all of the fault codes are contained in the motor control software which is listed below. *...
Where can I get one of the diagnostic tools? Thanks. Bryan...

The round meter is called an LXT and is used on GE fork lifts controls. The programmable handset is also used on GE forklift controls throughout the 90's (and...
Rod, thanks for the reply. I almost understand it :-( Switching is a constant thing? That's what I'm guessing, and 4khz is an audible frequency-- namely the...
It seems to me the charger is running quite a long time for the mileage I'm driving. Since the last full charge, I drove three trips which totaled 19 miles,...
Dear TeVan group, I have been contacted by Leonard, who is a facilities manager for Hot Springs, and has an EPIC at this facility with charging problems. ...
Water consumption seems high. As mentioned in my last post, starting from an empty reservoir (after the van was shipped to me), it took three gallons on the...
Brian, I see that in 2002 you tried to post a SAFT battery manual to the group. I can't find it. Do you still have it and will you email it to me? Thanks, ...
Can I water too much? In two weeks I have added 7 gallons of water to the (drained) system. Seems like a lot. If there is no water coming out of the overflow...

Brian, thanks. Others have also emailed the manual to me-- great help here! I haven't seen a NiFe manual. Jerry...
I've never seen a manual for the NiFe, not even when I worked at GE. The engineers from Eagle-Pitcher visited GE several times and helped me develop the ...
Rod, thanks for the software uploads. How can the overcharging be controlled? My charger seems to be fully automatic-- I plug it in, it charges until it...
So my tevan just recently died on me. I was sitting at a stop light. The light turned green, and I pushed down on the accelerator. I noted that I had forgot to...
Nick, When I worked at GE back in 1995 I remember killing a control by running in second gear from low speeds. In a perfect world this should never happen,...
When I sold my TEVan to Jeff Richards, one of the controllers had died. He did find some replacements IGBTs and fixed the controller. I don't know where he...
My name is Darrell, I live in California, where transportation energy, and emmision is a factor. (Los Angeles rated the dirtiest city in America) In becoming...
Hello fellow TEVan owners, My van seems to be slowly leaking some motor cooling fluid (which I understand is the trans/ differential fluid, pumped through the...
Thought I'd give the latest on my charging questions. I learned that the long charging cycle happens because the final 5-10% of charging is done at a very low...
