Not trying to perpetuate an old arguement here but I have to agree. I've been running my Zivan since the end of February and I've only had to add water twice. Every weekend, I get up on Saturday morning and check the batteries for voltage differences and they're usually pretty close. I've had to re-plug in just once to get everything equal. I'm at just about 4,000 miles now.
I looked in the EV album and a LOT of people seem to use them. Either we're all dumb or gullible or they do work well.
BUT- now that I know about the Brusa, I'm going to investigate that when I build the next EV.

Are you referring to the Zivan beating up AGM batteries with no regulators? We are talking about floodies, and I have gotten over 20,000 miles out of T-145's with a Zivan NG3. The floodies required very little water because the final stage current is low, blah, blah, blah. The Zivan DOES need to be setup properly for the pack!Suck Amps,BB
