I've had little down time since completing my conversion in Nov/2009
(http://www.evalbum.com/3060). A cheap bms failed draining some cells, but I
was able to continue using the car with the bms removed. I replaced 4 of
those cells later due more drift/sag than other cells. Installed a minibms
a few months later. The brake vacuum pump failed, and was replaced free of
charge. I also had to send the Manzanita charger back for replacement of the
input rectifier board. It's been down for repair less than about 12 days
since the conversion was completed. Mainly due to shipping time for the
charger. Other events were around 1-2 day down time each. Over 7500 miles
to date. No problems for the last several months.
