Re: [EVDL] kelly controllers

What controller? I will go have a look at the schematic for hooking it
up. I'd almost bet it is still good.

[EVDL] Kelly Controllers

Hey folks,

I'm in a dilemma at the moment. I'm waiting on a Logisystems controller but
have been told I can get a Kelly controller right away. Itt would be a
144V, 650 amp unit. Anybody out there have any experience with this
controller brand (or this unit in particular)? I'm espcially interested in
hearing from anyone who actually is driving around an EV with one in it.
Comments both positive and negative welcome.

Thanks.

Peter Flipsen Jr

Re: [EVDL] Kelly Controllers

Thanks for the input guys - to respond to a couple of messages at once:

1. I believe the controller is model KDH14651B.

2. The link is indeed to a long thread and one that I readily admit has
more math and engineering than I can follow (much of what I see on this list
is way over my head). But the bottom line seems to be to avoid them.

I think I'll just wait on the Logisystems controller.

Re: [EVDL] Kelly Controllers

We should have a couple of Logisystems in stock in a few weeks (hopefully)
I'm going to call them and see If I can get one of them changed to 144/156V
1000amp. The others will be 120/144V 750 amp.

As far as the Kelly's go, After I read the whole thread, the
impression I got was to be careful with the A models, and a lot of
improvements have went into the B models. I think their customer support is
pretty good, going by what I read. I've tried to contact them, but
haven't heard anything from them yet.
