I'm new to ownership. The Zivan is reporting thermal issues after about 3 or 4 hours into a charge. (audible and yellow flashing). I'm told it has v8 chip...
... No, no and no. The batteries should not get warm. The fans are not for cooling, they are for ventilation of gases. Adding fans won't help. Don't kill the...
Davide is probably correct but besides the pack voltage there are a couple of other things we should know. First what is the ambient temperature where you are...
I let the pack sit for the day and came up with the following readings at rest: 1: 12.82 2: 12.83 3: 12.83 4: 12.83 5: 12.85 6: 12.82 7: 12.86 8: 12.67 9:...
I charged at two different temperatures in my garage. The first attempt was at 80 to 85. The second attempt started early in the morning (about 1:30a). Temp...

I would like to install an AVCON adapter in my Sparrow so I can use the public charging stations. Is the ADAPT1 sold at eaaev(dot)org what I need? It then...

I recently abused my battery pack badly (a newbie). See post "Battery issue, need advise". I apparently reversed one or more cells in all 13 batteries....

Thanks all for the replies. so what is the recommended belt tension? There were some paper (definitely not metal) shims before we did the rebuild, and the...
