While trying to get my Sparrow working again, I noticed that both the Cig lighter and the power jack were dead. The wires had come off both of them. (both...
After following the directions of member - davidbu2001, I can say with great pleasure, that I now have a 180v .2-.3 amp trickle charger running on my new...
I had to replace my first belt tonight - totally surprised it lasted three years. What a royal pain in the butt! I kept telling myself "You need to buy that...
Well, I think I figured out why my pack was totally dead after sitting for 3 months with the BRS pressed. The EMeter and DC-DC still seem to get SOME power...
Is it to power the hazards lights when the BRS has been pressed? I'm curious what happens on a sparrow (since the stock models lack a 12V accessory battery...
Is it possible that your BRS isn't really fully depressed? . I found that mine needed to be unscrewed a little because the carpeting kept pushing it back up...
... My previous Sparrow would turn off EVERYTHING when the BRB was pressed. This one seems like there is something that allows a little current around the...
I had this problem when I installed a set of Rudman Regulators on my pack. I had saved a bit of wire by not connecting a separate connector to every battery...
http://www.paktrakr.com/index.html I saw this the other night while surfing some of the EV sites. Has anyone tried this - it looks very reasonable. Thanks, ...
Okay, so I finished charging every battery at 14.50volts, down to 1.4A. Some took longer, some did some venting. I then took the Sparrow out for a spin around...
I changed the whole swing arm assembly which included the bell housing, and don't remember having that much trouble. It's been awhile, but all I remember...
I just came across a good price for the IOTA 30 amp DLS-30 charger/converter It is not as small as the Vicor, but for the price I can fit it some place, Thanks...
Hi, I have a set of VREG modules and I'd like to make sure they are calibrated properly. I don't see any instructions on the http://airlabcorp.com web site to...
Well, I just did an experiment with my slightly impaired (12 Optima instead of 13) Sparrow. I put my Kipor KGE3000Ti generator in the hatch area (propping the...
... I should mention that this is where I bought my most recent pack. They ARE taking back the 2 bad Optimas, and have supplied me with pre-paid shipping to...
John, To extend range I would recommend using an extra Ni-MH pack. At least that is what I am working on. I have purchase used notebook batteries off of ebay...
... 2A isn't really enough to do any good, unless you spend most of your time parked. Cruising at 55mph takes about 60A. The 11A from my genset is probably ...
Personally I would not like to see A generator in a Sparrow. If this would keep anyone from adding a generator I would consider it. I have some used NiMH...
Hi, Anybody considering selling their pizza-butt sparrow ? Preferred colors are yellow, orange or green. Do you know if the pink #169 is still for sale ? ...
Here is an update on this problem. It was the DC-DC converter. I choose to go with an aftermarket Iota 30 Amp. 12 vdc Thanks Jake, it works like a champ. I...
Hey Gang, I recently saw a nice, custom Sparrow car cover; Is anyone still selling those, and, if so, where can I order one? I have a pizza box. Thanks, and ...
I have a Sparrow cover from California Custom Car Covers. They make covers for the Sparrow and you can choose from four different types of fabric materials....
