  1. Batteries and Charging
    Would it be feasible to use individual 7.2 cells from a Prius battery for a small EV running at 36V or 48V instead of the standard deep cycle lead acid batteries? Pro's & Con's regarding the selection of chargers and controllers ?? The weight savings would wouild probably be the biggest PLUS...

    I want to put some solar cells on my EV (120V VW) to charge the accessory battery. However, the Acc Batt doesn’t need much charging since I don’t often drive at night, so it’s just running the contactor and blinker/brake lights. I would like to create a switching charger that will use a bunch...

    I am planning my first EV project using a '78 Honda CB400T. It will be 48V with a Mars/Etec style motor. I'm hoping for a 12-15 mile range and a top speed of 50 mph for my commute. My question is about charging. I know using four separate cheaper 12V chargers can work well to keep everything...

    I had a short in my EV's plug and a fuse in the charger blew. Zivan wants me to ship to them to repair. They says it cost $300 to $500 to repair. I wanted to replace the fuse, but they said it my cause more damage. Any recommendations? Where does one find the Italweber fuses? Thanks! Dan

  8. Batteries and Charging
    I've been looking for a charger that charges off both 110VAC and 220VAC and has an adjustment for line-Amps drawn, so I won't overload a circuit if I can get a charge while traveling. Does anyone have any to suggest? Something for a 144V pack (45 LiFeYPO4cells * 3.2V/cell). Does anyone have any...

    Manzanita charger woes, (edit:) solution found Here's a quick Good, Bad & Ugly story. I'm looking for comments or advice. I received my new Manzanita PFC-30, all nice and green. I cleared up some ambiguity in the operators manual and verified how I'll integrate the VoltBlochers into the...

    Bought this preemptively. No longer fits my configuration, have not installed or used it. It is currently set for 144V, 220Ah so you may have to ship it in to Zivan to have it recalibrated for your conversion. Asking $1000, but feel free to make an offer.
  11. Batteries and Charging
    Hi, I recieved my Zivan NG3 charger late september this yeahr and today I wanted to charge my battery pack. But when I plugged in the charger, there only lights up the yellow LED. No fans, no bleep, no voltage at output. The manual says: yellow light - shows that the battery charger reached...

    I read lot about pulse charging with high voltage to clean of plates in led acid batteries.I wonder if "shocking the battery with electric fence changer will do the trick?There are some with very high voltage ant they are build to delivery pulsed voltage. I think they take 110vac to thousands...
  13. Batteries and Charging
    I got a good deal on this charger but I didn't know it needed the Club Car computer to charge batteries. I intend to use it to charge eight 6 volt t-105 batteries for my Commuta-Car. I came across this guy on eBay who claims he knows how to modify it so you can charge your batteries without...
  14. Batteries and Charging
    First off this is not a joke or anything. For our senior design project we are required to build a battery charger for an electric van. A little background - our university has a student transportation system, which consists of 15-passenger Ford E-350 vans that drive around campus from 5 PM...
  15. All EV Conversions and Builds
    I'm trying to decide between Optima Yellow-Tops and regular flooded lead-acid batteries. One of the major concerns is that I think space will be a little tight, and batteries will be stacked one on top of the other. This will make it difficult to access the reservoirs on the lead-acid...
  16. Batteries and Charging
    I'm looking at either a 48v or 72v electric motorcycle conversion, and I'm unclear about the charging. If I get a 12v charger, will it just take longer, or will it not work at all? From my (very limited) understanding, it seems that lower amps means it takes longer, but lower volts means it...
