Hi all. Long time reader here, but haven't posted much. Due to botched back surgery I cant walk long distances, so I bought me a electric scooter to get around a bit. I purchased it from a place on ebay from Addmotor, but it is also named Swift and is made in China under other names...

I have a Zap PK truck, and I can asure you beween the whine of the Curtis controller and the tires, it is not that quiet and people can hear me. Roy

Your not explaining yourself well enough to understand your question. Take your voltmeter and tell us when the charger is plugged in, what your battery voltage is, and is it rising while its charging. Not sure what type of battery pack you have, so cant advice what voltage it should have...

The question is...is it affordable for us as DIY's, I cant even imagine trying to put a pack like that together. Roy

Continuous max output power: 516W @ +12VDC input, 1008W @ +24VDC I think many here would be happy to be able to charge a 8s pack with that rate. Roy

Well one could put a few on a battery pack, but I believe the price would be a bit steep. The main reason I posted it was for the technical side of it, this is something if build to a larger scale would be nice for EV's. The idea of charging at high amperage from a LA battery pack will be a...

Take a look at this new charger, looks very interesting..... http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1176112 Roy

I'm curious after reading that that boat uses 1152 cells, knowing that one needs to check battery connections on all battery types every so often, how do you go about checking 2304 connections. Hard enough to do on large prismatics, I cant imagine what its like to check 2304 conections, never...

In case someone needs a version 2.3 of this board go to "Items For Sale". Roy

Thats funny, just remember those tacks may be still there when you come back..lol I talked to Zap, and was told I need to take the preload off the shock, which I had already figured. He told me that most where done before shipped to dealers, but admitted that some slipped trough. And yes I...
