All, I though maybe I had fallen off the listserv but in checking I see that there there have been no messages posted since August 29th. Is everybody that...
Rod, Thanks for being there. My new (to me) TEVan just became fully operational yesterday with the installation of some much larger, and noisier, motor cooling...
Comments inserted. ... Do you have NiCd or NiFe batteries? This makes a difference for watering, NiFe needs more frequent watering, the NiCd does about every...
What can I plug into my charging circuit* to measure the watt-hours that I'm putting into my batteries. Ultimately, of course, I want to determine how much it...
I use an old Watthour meter, (the same type of electrical meter that measures the usage for the house), plugged into a 50A receptacle in the garage. This puts...
TEVan & seva, Here are the quick and quality answers I received to my query about how to measure the watt-hours that I'm putting into my batteries. Thank you...
TEVan, I have had a very disappointing development. I logged usage and charging from 10-15-07 through the morning of 10-22-07. I was planning to calculate how...
Rod, I'm thinking that maybe you're the best bet I have in figuring out what's happening with my battery-charging system. Here are the most recent activities...
Hey Walt, Have attached a pix of what your NiCads look like inside the boxes. FYI. I have Nife's and don't know how NiCads react, so I can't be of much help...
Dear Walt, Here are some answers. Assuming your TEVan and mine are setup alike, I know that there are some variances as they developed the vehicles. The...
Hello everyone I have (2) Fairchild FMG2G400LS60 for sale. Using these would only require the use of only 2 instead of the normal 3 and would give you more...
Jeff, I'd like to purchase the 4 200A units and of course include enough to cover the shipping and handling. How about $75 each? Or call me and we can discuss...
I have 2 friends with TeVans that are looking for detailed schematics of the control and charging systems. All I have is a B size diagram showing the main...
I have been working with my friend Dave on his 93 TeVan. So far, we haven't had that much luck. Details: He has a single phase 240 V input going into a GFCI ...
Sounds like there is a ground fault somewhere. I would drop the pack and try to charge batteries either individually or small series strings. I have a TEVan...
Steve, You might try eliminating the GFI and trying to charge without it. The TEVan's with NiCd's had a problem with charging from a GFI circuit when they were...
Steve, Yes 15 x 12 = 180 and that will operate the TEVan. I have seen my TEVan run on voltages from 135 to 220. I believe it might have a cut off below 135v,...
Steve, Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I'm having charger/battery challenges of my own. I have 39 pages of electrical wiring diagrams in my Service...
Steve and Walt, Not sure if I sent the charger schematics to you, let me know if you need them. This schematic is for the Gen 1 charger, not the PFC charger...
Rod, From the number of pages I counted, does it sound like I have what Steve needs? I don't see any annotation on the diagrams that would distinguish between...
You have the gen2 charger if a GFI breaker is installed on the black control box. The gen1 charger is non PFC (Power Factor Corrected) and will not charge on...
Dave dropped the first battery box today and pulled out the first 6 batteries. As expected, they were totally flat. He started with the first battery. ...
Anyone Living in Thurston County? Could anyone on the listserv who lives in Thurston County or its environs contact me? I'd like to convene a local group that...
I need someone to work on a TEVan. (See attached spec sheet.) The batteries gradually stopped taking a full charge and now will take none. Last checked they...
I will be needing a few NiCad batteries soon. If you know of any that are available or have a suggestion about where to ask, please let me know. I am in the...
