Not wanting to divert this thread, but I have a battery related query. On DIY EV Kiwi Duncan said that he was able to import Volt batteries from USA . As I am moving into the 21st century and soon re-cycling my Pb, I would appreciate any experiences, good or bad, with suppliers and any recommendatio...

And the 3 adults are still forward of the rear axle ( unless you are sneaking them into an old style drive- in movie lot and they are shoehorned into the boot)

Hi again; Still banging on about weight distribution:3.2 Brakes and Steering Version 2.0 - 1 January 2011 Page 20/29 / "Because mass distribution is an important factor in maintaining good handling and braking characteristics of a vehicle, it must be considered carefully in the design of a conversio...

Correction, prius

NCOP LAN 2011 Version2.0-1 "Mass distribution should be as low and CENTRALLY located as possible in the vehicle to assist with vehicle stability". In the Govspeak dialect MAY= we don't really care; SHOULD=we would like you to do this but it's up to you; MUST=MUST. :D Check for later versions of NCOP.

Hi, just a thought that one of the regulations is that as little weight as possible be placed behind the rear axle line to avoid spinout . With lead that is a lot of leverage in a corner.

Good point. Different user names and passwords, but maybe they are trying to get me to use all my passwords.

An audacious request for assistance to log in to DIYEV. They are requesting that I verify my IP address. According to Whats My IP? it is 110.150.161.135. DIYEV agree and are asking me to verify this by filling out their form providing my user name and password. Having logged in with the same user ID...

Thanks, I will try them. Worthwhile if it cuts down on overseas postage.

Hi, off topic, please move if necessary; My AXE 7245 is showing solid red .According to AXE this means that it is stuck in programming mode; the solution as follows: " Hello. If the controller powers on and the light goes solid red that means that the controller is stuck in programming mode and woul...

Hi Rob, Maybe off topic, but my friend has asked about charging his 2017 PHEV after only a 20k run. Is it critical to re-charge after partial discharge, or can it be left and allow the motor to kick in to re-charge? The vehicle is generally used every second or third day and does not stand partially...

My mate picked up his 2017 on Friday and very generously allowed me to have a 20k drive. Compared to my 2004 Crewman it was exhilarating! So exhilarating that being distracted by coloured lights and other shiny things I ran a red in the main street causing panic braking by others. And that is about ...

Those damn Stonecutters also keep the Metric System out of America. A good episode and I see the connection to EV2Go's thinking. When I was able to log on to DIYEV, there was the occasional elitist post, but in general a balanced forum. Perhaps the only reason for separating anything would be on a g...

Well handled, Chris. An intelligent interviewer helped our cause. Perhaps he could give some pointers to the boofheads from Top Gear.

I don't feel that it is too wordy; I switched to ICE driver mindset while reading and appreciated the subtlety, rather than the sometimes brutal " hey stupid!!!" approach used by some do-gooders .

god you guys can carry on about things

*grin*
And we haven't even touched the Carry On Movies

Then we could carry on

I have had ads on gumtree and ebay seeking a spare wheel for my SK410 Carry without any response. I know that Ohmboy has the same model,hopefully he or other members may know where one can be obtained. It is a 12" 155/80R12, measuring 114.3 mm stud spacing across the centre. I went to one of the lin...

Seems to be similar to the Dutch experimental road charging from some four years ago? The solar road in the Netherlands is working even better than expected: [url=https://www.sciencealert.com/solar-roads-in-the-netherlands-are-working-even-better-than-expected]https://www.sciencealert.com/solar...

As always, the devil is in the fine print at the bottom of the page.Nice work,will be a good daily driver

Not joining dropbox to look at your pics; tells me membership and personal details required. Can you post pics in a less restrictive format?

Hi Johny; Followed your suggestion of measuring temperature after a run. The two AGM easily accessed were 24C at 18C ambient. But the figure near the pack negative battery post was 111c(eBay thermometer). There was a loose connection at a fuse between the negative pack post and the lead to the contr...

I'll get back 2 u shortly.

Hi, After ditching my Seamaster pretend deep cycle as recommended by members, but not being flush enough or confident in my skills level to use Lithium (other than for depression), I have changed to Sunstone 80AH AGM. A charging question about them. If I charge immediately after a run the seven in s...
