Re: [EVDL] EV generosity; charging a 48V pack with a 36V charger
Thanks for the heads-up on the bargain chargers, Eduardo & Michael.
Since starting this thread however, someone on the list has offered to
donate (!) a pair of used 25 amp/24 volt smart chargers (suitable for these
batteries) to the cause. Charging issue solved... just like that.
I continue to be amazed at how willing folks have been to help us with this
EV. We've received lots of unsolicited offers of both time & material ...
- the used Exide 6v floodies, from another EV owner
- a hefty discount on the machining (coupler, adapter plate) by an
acquaintance
- 20 feet of used welding cable (battery interconnects) from a friend
- a little bit of free welding & welding instruction (acquaintance)
- free worn-out floodies (used for our "test pack") from the company that
sold us the forklift
- my mechanic didn't charge for the vehicle inspection - I've been going to
him for years with my ICE car, and he's never done that before - or to write
a letter requested by the licence office
There are others I'm sure I've forgotten at the moment.
The generosity hasn't been limited to other EV owners either. People just
seem genuinely interested in the project and want to help.
