So that's it then. Anyone want to buy a dead truck whole for parts? Or buy some of the parts? The battery pack is in great condition, in balance and so on. It has been a daily driver but only in town and typically only for 5-10 miles. Very occasionally it has done 20 miles. I...

Mine has finally failed. It partially failed in September of 2009 - aux battery charging but no heating or cooling. I managed to keep the truck working as a daily driver by only charging when the battery box was in the correct temperature range. Now it has fully failed, no aux...

Hi all, I have recently obtained an "early" Magne Charge (MC) car-side receiver port system for restoration. As some of you many know, these first version paddle chargers had a "thinner" paddle then the LPI and SPI systems we currently use. Our paddles are +/- 15.5mm thick (po...

Had you considered a Manzanita Micro charger instead? They make several versions in the PFC family. It would obviously require mods to the truck, but several RAV4EV drivers *carefully* use them in the regen circuitry to fool the BMS. Could at least be a fallback position to ke...

Yes they can be left on the charger. A lead truck would be fine but not a good idea with a NiMH truck. For the NiMH most of us feel with good reason it is a risk to let the truck go into the one hour 5 amp maintenance charge. The other issue with the NiMH if your heat pump sto...

Maybe someone else can verify this, but can you leave it on the convenience charger or connected to the paddle charger? I thought these systems were designed not to over charge. Am I right? :Isaac: On Mon, Mar 28, 2011 at 11:59 AM, <[email removed]> wrote: > Greetings All, > >...
