They're Here!
All 4 of them arrived today - Delivered by UPS, I picked them up but will not get a chance to install them for a few days as I am working on some other projects just now that will likely take up this week!
Besides the news link on the blog - I just added Amazon Links - hopefull they will get good links to books, DVD's and such of relavance!
Just checked with UPS Tracking - The BattEQ LA-100-12V Equalisers order from Grants Pass EV are almost here!! (Passed over the border already and on their way to Toronto, to get sorted for local delivery tomorrow!!)
One thing I have been noticing - is that even though I have individual Smart Chargers - the Finising voltages on the batteries is not always the same - but - after some time they level off at 13.2 Volts.
Also - for my PakTrakr, have ordered the logging version of the Enhanced Display - and the current sensor - so I can record the battery conditions (Pre-Equalizer Install) for the purposes of a possible battery warranty replacement on Battery #2 and #6 - as they are going through an initial voltage increase under load (compared to the packs other batteries) and then doing a major sag, with #2 worse, but #6 not far behind, both going under 12V while the others are about 12.5!
The PakTrakr that I order from Battery Powered Systems is On it's way!
It was shipped out on the 9th of June, and should be here today!
The Tacking information say's it left the Warehouse in Concord at 07:53 today, If I read it right! (And at 10:32 they got the corrected payment info for the UPS Border Fees to the system/driver!)
Unfortunatly - the Border Crossing Costs (UPS: $64.07) added up to almost as much as the PakTrakr extra Remote!
After I get this installed, and mounted - I will be able to see which of my 8 batteries is going low on volts first, and second, etc., so that I can avoid draining the weak battery beyond limits, and so I can plan my charges better! Also - when I get some history on the batteries with the paktrakr - I will be able to compare the changes when I install the Battery Equalizers!
It might help for me to get the Data Logging Interface also, and then maybe at the same time - the Current Sensor while I am at it, for better traking of the performance.
