i have a BMS but did not like it,so i run with no BMS and have done for 2500km's now with no faults. i under charge the 90ah batteries to 3.53v and i don't let them get any lower than 2.66v on discharge,(120v then under load when driving) i still have a range of 60km but i never push it that far. my...

i wanted to do the same thing, i got some gauges from ebay,a box from dick smith and this is how it turned out.the other gauge is a temp gauge. i found my charger charged at a lower setting 6.4amps, now i have it set at 12.8amps and i can see when i walk pass the car what the charger is up to. i fin...

Thanks for the offer but at the moment i can only do 60 to 70 km's to a charge,but that may soon change when another set of batteries turn up.

Hi Marty11 a friend of mine seen a zero electric motorcycle in Jindabyne last week, do you own one? i charge my electric car from a 3.5kw system (21 panels) it's putting out 26.8kw a day at the moment your must be pumping out the kw too. when i was getting my system fitted i asked pyramid power what...

the A/C was not needed for rego, and I had already installed a 240v 1500w ceramic heater running at 150v dc it still works just fine. A/c works very well,at 2000 rpm vehicle stopped the amp gauge reads 20amps with the A/C running,I had to make up a small circuit to get the A/C running because the co...

Hi Woody I have done 950km now with my OZ Cougar Controller in my 92 Hilux, Warp 9 motor with no problems,fans are set to come on at 50c. I have tested the controller and the hottest i have seen it is 42c mostly 35c. very easy to control the amp limit ,rev limit and a heap of other things with a lap...

Hi bontar what happens to your controller when it blows up? does it blow the power board or the control board? do you have any photos of the blown controller what is your set up in your car ,batteries/motor/car? is yours the OZ version i also blew my controller (OZ version)but found it was my fault,...

Here are some photos of my near finished power board for the Revolt controller,thought you might like a look!

Yep i have sent it back for repair 3 weeks ago,with a note saying i have an EV frown Jim   

thats exactly what happened to me, Zilla stopped taking orders so i got a LS controller,now it blown up!! the time it took me to build the car Zilla was back up and running,we should have waited but thats life!

Hi Nevilleh i know how you feel about the Logisystem controller the first time yours blew,as just after your went mine went as well on its first time around the block,i only got 800m,it did not blow like yours but just stopped,then came the drama getting it home and up the hill back into my shed. i ...

Hi John

they are doing such a good job!
thanks and Cheers

Hi evric the brand of the solid state relay is KUAN HSI type KS225 but i have to get other solid state relay to switch the heater,because this relay shown is for another project and uses 4 to 32v DC to switch the relay and can switch 240v 25amps AC you must not use any AC relays to switch high DC vo...

Hi Kearon
i just wanted to ask,on your test drive the other day,did you try out the heater at all?just to see if it worked ok?
i just installed my heater yesterday,it's a electric element from a heater from bunnings.have not tested it with 144v yet because i don't
have my battery's yet.
cheers
Andrew

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii120/mikesnapoff/100_3914Medium.jpg I did not end up using the tip over switch for the safety cutout from the heater,because I found this Honeywell micro switch was easier to fit as you can see in the photo,the red wires come from the fan relay so the heater elem...

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii120/mikesnapoff/100_3898Medium2.jpg I put the heater core in my vehicle today, i bench tested it before i installed it in the vehicle and it was working very good on the bench, so i installed it and tested it out with 240v in the car,if it worked ok if should wo...
