If you're using flooded lead-acid batteries, do you use an auto-fill watering system or recombining caps? I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who has used...
I think that you'll find that there's literally no way to fit enough flooded batteries into a Sparrow. You'd run out of room for batteries by the time you had...
Hi Fred, I've been following your posts on the ZAP list, but I thought I would reply to you here since this is my 'home' group. IMHO, putting floodies in a...
Thanks for your information, Dan. I'm also aware of the totally ugly results of acid mist from the liquid batteries. It's pretty clear on the single battery...
... No, the whole point is that a Sparrow is a BAD platform for floodies. You can't get true deep cycle floodies that fit in one, and provide enough voltage. ...
Be careful to make a distinction between "power" and "energy." It's true that floodies contain more usable energy than AGMs. It's false that they can provide...
... true ... they ... I certainly used the wrong terms and thanks for pointing that out. I am concerned about power, yes, but energy is my biggest concern. ......
Hi Fred, Are you still running the stock 72v system? If so, I think that raising that to 96v could be one of the best ways to increase your battery life (and...
Well, if you'd said that a the start, John and I wouldn't have spent any time trying to convince you that floodies won't work for you. If you can fit enough...
I looked at the Discover-energy.com site. It looks like you got the dry cell EV 34A rated at 70 AH. I also saw the D24A Deep Cycle that's rated at 80AH. What...
There is one posted on the evfinder.com classifieds page at http://evfinder.com/classifieds.htm#Electric%20Vehicles%20on%20eBay It is a fairly hold listing so...
I am planning to sell my 2006 Nmg this spring. It is white with about 1200 miles on it. I am not sure what it is worth, maybe I should put in on ebay so it...
I have one of mine listed on www.oeva.org <http://www.oeva.org/> (not the one that was in Car & Driver with me last spring). It hasn't been driven in about a...
Sorry, I guess it isn't showing up now. It's a purple 2000 pizzabutt, #151, 3367 miles, in very nice condition, $9,500 firm (if you put the belt on, $12,500 if...
Dan Send me some pictures, I'm interested. Where is it located? You can email me directly at pdwarrenann@... Thanks, Paul ... driven in ... the new ... ...
Having owned my sparrow for almost 8 years, and having added a couple of kids to the family along the way, I'm finding that I'm using my sparrow only about...
Marty, Did you sell it? Are you still thinking of selling it? Let me know..... Thanks, Paul ... I ... the ... automobile. ... for ... interested ... hope I...
Just to let you know, your fix seems to work for me too. I've been in the middle of moving my shop, but I finally got around to working on this. Rather than...
Personally, I prefer the Venture Vehicles concept(www.flytheroad.com). It's about the same price and is supposed to be available in an all electric and a...
Hi Everyone, I am kind of new with the electric cars and I would like to ask a favor, I have seen that are gatherings or shows (I am not sure how to call them)...
Try checking out the various chapters of the Electric Auto Association (www.eaaev.org). Individual chapters have rallies. Depending on where you are located, ...
You could check out the evfinder events page at http://evfinder.com/events.htm I put events there whenever I hear about them. Noel ... like to ask a favor, I...
After months of lurking this site I have joined the club - took delivery of 2006 new/used NmG, #8 off the '06 line. This was a Myers demo with the Discovery...
