One downside of Li Polymer is that the cycle life is lower than NiMH or NiCd or even lead acid. Avestor on their comparisson page shows 500 cycle life for ...
I just had my Sparrow delivered. Meter said like 155 so I plugged it in. It is beeping, is that normal? I found no mention of beeping in the manual? thanks --...
... it in. ... the ... The charger should have three sets of three quick beeps (within a second or so) when you first plug it in. Good luck with your new...
Be sure your big red is up also check to see if you have a temp sensor. when it beeps what color is the led on the charger? and is the tone high low high low...
... A few quick beeps as it starts up is good. A continuous hi-low repetition is bad. Check your EMeter to see how much current is flowing into the pack. -- ...
I'm glad you guys are here, cause the manual is lean! I had the button down, now it seems to be working fine, no more beeping. And the fans are running. How...
it will look like a keyboard plug (round) in the right side of the charger just under the led alongside the Anderson connector. Good luck with the first...
Thanks! This is a dumb question, but is the headlight always on? Also, my ampmeter to the right of the speedo looks different than the one in the manual. it...
I got my Sparrow delivered today and had some observations/questions: 1) are all the seats hard? I thought Corbin knew how to make good seats.... 2) At about...
... Wow, quiet a collection! ... Supposedly yes. The first owner of mine had extra padding adding. ... NO! Please define "wobbles". ... The drive belt...
The wobbling kinda felt like the lug nuts were loose. Or like driving on one of those bridges that are steel grate. Or like the wheels were bent slightly....
... You could just have really bad alignment, or you could have a bad bearing, or... You should probably jack the car up one wheel at a time, once the wheel is...
Are there any specific jack points where I can put the jack? It look like the whole bottom was fiberglass and I hate to break something under there. thanks ...
... For the back wheel, put the jack under the middle of the motor. For each Front wheel, put the jack under the lower suspension joint, right up near the...
As far as the seat goes, Corbin ignores complaints about the seats because it is probably an embarrassment to them. I am 6'2" and the only part of my body ...
Fred, You should have done a short trip first according to what is stated on the manual. 137V is too low for my comfort. If you read 137V when accelerating ...
The PO put in brand new batteries and he said he broke in the pack by doing the short->longer trip routine. It also has a brand new V9 chip in there. I hope...
I have had it on the charger for about 4.5-5 hrs so far. I had been checking it and the red indicator light was on even though the e-meter was at 190. I just...
That sounds Right. At 202 the charger is in an equalize mode when you unplug it dropped to your float level this number will drop as your pack ages. 168 to 174...
Actually it does sound good. If you let the charger equalize, the e-meter would probably get up to 212V, and then the LED would go to yellow and then green....
Plug it in again and watch the e-meter. Once it peaks at about 212V, it should start coming down, and eventually the e-meter will go blank (except the 4 small...
Seating room in the Sparrow certainly is limited. I'm sure that many find it cramped. I'm 5' 11" with shorter legs and longer torso than typical for my ...
This sounds good. At least you are not experiencing thermal-runaway. Try to read the Ah by pushing "SEL" on E-meter. If it reads less than +1Ah, plug it back...
