The Homebrew Electric Car Saga - Escort EV Installment 9

The Nautilus battery chargers previously used turned out to be not the best plan. I returned them and bought some better units from Acme Battery in Hamilton Ontario. Much better units - enjoy the video, and yes, there will be an Episode 10 - Ken.

@brucekirk89 no mate ..... i mean earth wires..... down in the southern hemisphere here in Australia we don't use the term "ground wires" we call it "an earth" for exactly the same reason you call it ground..... because thats where it goes!

@lpgas1 earth wires,,you mean the ground wires right LOL

[lpgas1]

hey mate! have a look at my charger video if you have some time. i think what happened to your old chargers was that the earth wires that went to each battery had continuity to the common ground on the power point plug. it is a common problem with a lot of chargers and it only effects the charger if you try and charge a series battery circuit with them! love the videos though mate!

So when the batteries died, how did you guys get home???
