Hi, I'm looking at either a zivan NG3 or an Elcon HF/PFC 3000 charger, but want to know if they can be set to do a non 'standard' voltage pack. My reason is... I have the perfect space for a 36 cell pack (as a single pack) but will have to split the pack into two (front and rear of car) to make a 38 cell pack. Can you adjust the Zivan and Elcon chargers to do 115.2v rather than 120v?

Cool, thanks. I'm looking at going with the elcon from evolve electrics. Do they come with details on how to set your own voltages? Also, any feedback on evolve?

The Elcon charger sourced from overseas has no Australian Electrical Approval number & cannot be legally be plugged into the supply network in Australia.
The Elcon is CE certified and should be ok in Australia as the Australian Standards board recognises European Safety certificates. Is this incorrect?

Thanks Vetinavan! I have been pondering the zivan v elcon and there is only $10 difference on them. The retailer was saying the elcon was the better charger, but the Australian standards issue makes a big difference. Thanks again! With the AUD so strong against the USD its definitely a good time to import. dan

Last time I checked the Zivan chargers did not have any Australian electrical safety approval.
The Elcon chargers do however have Australian C-tick compliance.

So... Zivan and Elcon both have CE markings meaning they meet standards within the european union (conformité européenne) of saftey. However... Only the elcon has the CTick of Australia / NZ compliance? I have checked both sets of manuals and can only find references to CE markings. Neither manual has a certificate of conformity or much information in (why oh why do manufacturers skimp on documentation!?) Any ANZPAC electrical engineers / Zivan/ Elcon / Manzita reps out there who can let us know the actual regulations?
