I am the original owner of #68. I owned my jellybean from 2000-03. Although it's been 6 years since I sold Bullet, I have followed the group. I know that this...
I am installing a PakTracker on my Sparrow and I was interested in some opinions about the details. Rather than connecting the PakTracker wires directly to the...
I understand from installing a PakTrakr on two other EVs that there is a sequence of connections that have to be followed. If you use a fourteen pin...
Rather the trying to charge individual batteries I highly recommend using an electronic balancing system. We use the PowerCheq. -- Sean Rarey GPEV www.gpev.us...
... Craig - thanks for asking. I put my name on the Aptera waiting list after I learned about their conversion to front wheel drive - a superb move in my...
I was told that the BRB connections need to be rerouted. Since the BRB in the middle of the string or close to the middle, when you connect the PakTrakr use...
Good point. I need to power the remote units first, which would mean that I need at least two connectors in each battery bay (one to power up the remotes, and...
That solves your PakTracker problem at the expense of some measure of safety. The reason your Big Red Button is in the middle of your pack* is that, when you...
I agree that an automatic balancing system would be great, but unfortunately I don't have the $800 to invest at this point. My current objective is to get an...
Is this true? If an individual PakTracker remote is attached to an unbroken string of batteries, will the system care if a second remote's string of batteries...
Correct me if I am wrong, but what you probably want to avoid is a PakTrakr remote spanning the break in the pack that the BRB creates. High currents may try...
This goes to show that one should not stop thinking once one reaches one's destination, within one's alleged mind. I figured to just cut off the extra gender...
The BRB should be moved outside the the string for a number of reasons, including the use of BMS balancers and a PakTrakr for exactly the reason below. -- Sean...
We are working on a Sparrow/NMG specific Powercheq kit. The kit includes a modified wiring concept for the battery configuration to improve efficiency and...
This is a popular mis-conception. Consider this. A circuit, by definition, is a circle most negative to most positive and back again. The fusible link and the...
It would be a misconception if the BRB only broke one place in the pack, and if you were only worried about the ability to interrupt current, not what happens...
This whole discussion about pack breaks reminds me of a fight over 'which is worse, to be killed by a gun, or by an atomic bomb'. In both cases you are dead....
Folks, my pizza butt sparrow #162 just began being very bouncy with the rear swing arm. On a normal auto I would diagnose that I need a replacement shock...
Just a quick note to all. The North American Model Engineering Society is having its yearly show in Ohio this week-end. 4-18, 4-19-09 As part of that show we...

With the price of LiFePo4 coming done to a reasonable price, I am seriously looking at changing the pack out in my Sparrow. I am looking at the ThunderSky...
-Hi Scot, I do not have any words of wisdom, but I was one of the first guinnie pigs of these batteries. I put two 24 volt batteries on a tricycle called the...
