Are you using the original control board to control the PWM but charging the series set of batteries from the FET on the primary of the transformer? I don't understand "Not bad for less than $50 for a 800 watt charger. Version 2.0 will use a 450 watt ATX supply with the hope of a bit more power." I am working on a charging system and very interested in these low cost rework ideas. David Kerzel Pompano Beach

My initial report is here if anyone is interested. http://wizbandit.wordpress.com/2008/08/12/hacking-the-schumacher-speed-c harge-for-phev-ev-use/ _______________________________________________ Florida EAA mailing list [email protected] http://www.floridaeaa.org _______________________________________________ Florida EAA mailing list [email protected] http://www.floridaeaa.org
