The marine tandem chargers have only one transformer w/ a common ground side but two independent charging circuits. Could get away w/ one set of isolation relays, but its only pennies to isolate both sides. The present SW190-100 contactor has both sets of contacts wired in parallel and it's in...

Hi All; Got a few questions now that I'm putting things back into the car........and I imagine I'll have a lot more... The setup is 10 12V batteries in series....they were originally wired w/ size 1 cables......the motor is an ADC 9.1" and the original controller is the Curtis 1221B (400...

~ 240 Whr/mi ???? (in sunny CA?)

The equivalent Valence pack would be 28 times the cost of this surplus Pb pack..otherwise it looks promising...hopefully by the time these need replacement there will be a viable alternative...meantimes, I'm looking to maximise the life..parallel charging etc etc...maby a capacitor bank as...

Just thought I'd give a quick update while I had the chance..... The surplus batteries (10 AGM SLF-12205's by POWER battery Co.) still check out despite age etc.....we'll see how they behave in real charge discharge this spring The parrellel charger bank made of 5 dual marine Dytek 15 amp...

SHOCKING !! :o

Cut to the chase....what did the bike look like ??? :twisted:

If the 48V 21AH SLA bike pack is any indication.......mounting is the biggest problem of all !!!!

Ahhh Yes.. but what will 25 of the 40AH cost me ???? (120V 200AH)

The brakes and pads are new but the pads are the plain black ones.....first try will be better pads....that's a great site....... Better weight distribution is going to be a must......I'll need to figure out how to keep it more "stock" looking.......

On reflection: 1. I probably should have been moving before opening full throttle...... 2. Lucky to be wearing a helmet (esp at 64 yars old) 3. 4 21Ah SLA's in soft bags at the rear (not to mention rear hub motor) would seem to be the source of both difficulties......rear CG shift and...

First test flights of the 48V version this afternoon.......Yes, it will really do a "right over backwards wheelie" w/ the 60 lbs of batteries in the rear (OUCH!).....and yes, it needs significant damping to keep the steering from going into oscillation at top speed (managed to just recover from...

It's HERE !!! In all the excitement....here's a shot of the modified Dytek charger (the prototype) w/ the isolation relays installed.....

I'll believe it when I can buy it...til then its just more GM b******t !
