Hey Walt, Jared, My diagrams were all pulled from Steve Hawkins site. Everything was printed and put into a three ring binder. The schematics were blown up...

I took my van out for another short drive today. I was taking a fellow EAA member out for a drive in it. As we got back I got the low battery signal again...
1. Really thats normal behavior? I figured it was just the fact that they electronics are expecting a larger capacity in the batteries. So what is a good...
As your batteries revive the meter drops slowly. Mine goes to about a quarter before it flatlines. There is a pod/water line diagram in the manual. I...
Yeah I will have to check out the manual and find out where those lines go. I could really use a vehicle lift! :-) I keep track of my voltages in a spread...
Another thing I thought about is voltage sag. I know not to sag the voltage of my Trojans past 5.25 volts per battery. Do we know this information for the...
Jared, Unfortunately NiFe batteries are a lot like NiCd's in that state of charge and voltage are not really related. The discharge curve is fairly flat until...
I looked in the manual about the watering info and I didn't see much on those water lines. I see the general picture which shows pump 1 goes up and back...
... those water >lines. I see the general picture which shows pump 1 goes up and back through tub 1 and >into the resivor but not physically where the lines...
Dear all, Regarding Nickle-iron or Edison battery TEVan's So far, non-scientific grade Potassium Hydroxide, added at about a cup to the gallon of distilled...
I hope your not using tap water for your batteries? You should only use deionized purified water. Â My water out of the tap is slightly acid. I may need to...
Here is a bit of in-fill data. The KOH does have a specific level of concentration for the batteries. As I recall the original sheet lists 21% KOH by one...
Thats an interesting idea on adding some KOH to the batteries. Did you add it into the watering system or directly to the batteries? I would think you should...
Sorry Rod, I misspoke, I do send it through the deionizer or buy distilled water. I wasn't sure it was a property entirely eliminated by deionization though....
I would think adding the proper concentration to the watering system would slowly bring the batteries up to the proper KOH concentration over time. That is how...
Wow thanks Steve. I have found deionizing units available for sale that are marketed to car detailers. I believe they also have a garden hose connector . You...
The watering connection is a tank with a float valve. How you get the water in the tank will have no effect on the watering pumps. The pumps are a peristaltic...
FYI Be wary of adding KOH to the watering system. The use of Distilled water is important as it does not contain loose ions that make the water conductive to...
This is great to know information. Finally someone explained the difference between the two in a logical manner. What do you think about using distilled...
Hey guys, I got my new tires in and will shortly get them on the van. But I still want to change out the trany fluid. I'm not having any luck finding this...
Point taken Ron Anderson, My assumption that the behavior of the system of drawing deionized water from front to back of the NiFe battery bank and then back to...
A question or those of us familiar with NiFe TEVan water consumption: What is your average water consumption? I typically use a half gallon a day for a full...
Today I was going to take both my Fiero and the Van to get new tires put onto it. I was going to do a quick top off charge before I drove it do the shop since...
Hey all, My van clutch started slipping, I'm headed to the transmission shop tomorrow. www.terrystransmissions.com I know that there are questions out there...
Alex, I will be most interested in any info you glean from your shop guys. I think I'm looking at needing some gear replacement or at least some kind of...
Walt, I've sent this diagram to others, including Steve Hawkins who posted it on his web site. Steve has gathered an impressive list of information about the...
I went and got new fuses to replace the one that blew. Both of those two back fuses on mine are wire in parrallel. They are both 20 amp fuses. Does...
Hey Jared, I haven't looked at the schematic for you but I believe that I've stumbled upon something that has cropped up before in electric vehicle research....
