I had ten Deka 12v 105Ah 8A31DT batteries and I replaced them with exact same thing (the new batteries are called...

    I ordered the elcon charger 3.3kw version, but the manual is lacking the details needed for wiring it correctly. Also I have a AVC2 that I'm using for the j1772 connector. The DC out pin out I understand, however when it comes to the ports for the AC and signal ports, I'm a little confused. AC...

    You all might remember me from this thread... https://www.diyelectriccar.com/forums/showthread.php/splitting-big-elcon-charger-problems-187961p4.html It turns out, those chargers really were the wrong choice for the boat. They got WAY too hot for the tight space in the boat, and it seems...

    We used to install plug-in upgrades to Prii, and we now have many broken Elcon chargers for repair that we do not need. Once you get them to work, they can be reprogrammed to fit your charge curve (see Elcon's website). We're looking to sell them for $20/charger plus the cost of shipping. We...

  13. Batteries and Charging
    I have an ELCON PFC 2000+ I've been using for two years (first year with lead, then reprogrammed last year for lithium). Aside from stupidly popping the AC fuse once, I've been happy with it. Recently I've noticed the sound of the charger having more buzz or crackle when charging. So far...

    My Elcon 3kw arrived with a 6-20 plug (non locking), for some reason finding an adapter to get into my 14-30 (non locking) dryer plug seems uncommon. Such a common charger and even more common outlet I thought it would be an easier find. Am I missing some information? The charger has been set...
