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...
The stock TeVan is pretty weak on performance. What have people done to improve it if anything. What about changing out the IGBTs for some higher power ones?...
Everything on the TEVan is proprietary, and probably hard to modify. If you have no desire to keep it stock, the simplest solution is probably to put in a...
Good Question, Steve. I have been working on this one for over 3 years now and expect to have some good news in the next 3 to 6 months. For my particular...
This is potentailly very good news. I will pass it on to Dave and Charles. When Charles and I spoke on Wednesday, he agreed "4 of my 6 EVs are just ...
Charging question. Can anyone give me a specific overview on how the TEVan's charger changes from 120 to Single-Phase to 3-phase? Are we to be using the same...
Steve, The charging rate is determined by 2 of the pins at the 7-pin connector on the fender. (Pyle Neptune Star line) Yes, I believe they are owned by ...
Ah-ha, Thanks Jim, that is good information. I found the diagram in the manual. This is my interpretation of it is as follows: External Charging Cables ...
