AEVA (SA) Website

Thanks David, I have fixed both of the things you mentioned. They were very valid points. The webpage that Google finds is from Nick King's SA Electric Vehicle site. We'll have to ask him to change the link from the 'calendar' to our new site. Eric.

This should be easy enough to organise a relay system to allow the lamp to light when the ignition switch is in the ON position and then off as you turn the key to START, then r...

Heater-- Demister

Be cautious with the eBay solid state relays... most of them are switching AC (even when the title says DC) and those that switch DC are only transistor output instead of MOSFET output (these must be really old stock).

Bulk Li Ion purchases for 2008

Hi,

Mike,
I would like to attend on the 6th August. I probably won't make it for the meal. Do I still have to book with Katie? Will there be any cost for the meeting?

If you modify a circuit breaker by drilling holes and using cables to it the authorities may think that the circuit breaker may not work as it should and not allow it.
