Hey guys I’m in a little bit of a pickle. I bought a zivan NG3 charger second hand that was configured for my 120 volt pack pb and wired 230 volt input. My problem is that I have access to a 110 volt charging station at work. According to the service folks at zivan, the ng3 is 230v or 110 v input only and not interchangeable. Any thoughts as to how I can adapt/ use this charger at a 110 volt station. My thoughts are to buy a 110-220 volt converter and use this at the 110 station, and use my 230 volts at home. The problem is that it’s input would suck 40 amps on a 110 line and I can’t imagine any public charging station that is going to provide that kind of current. I think I will probably have to 1. Return the unit to zivan and accept their credit and buy a 110 unit, or 2. Buy another 110 volt unit wire it next to the 230 unit, and have the ability to use either one for in the field charging……………….. input/ ideas? (No pun intended).
