Don't know the answer to your question right off, but it
brings up a related question of mine:
Why did they design it so the disconnect has to be engaged to
charge the batteries? It seems a better design would be to connect the charger
direct to the battery stack. It would have prevented the problem you
had.

Subject: (ET) What was that crash?
That's what I would
have been asking in the middle of the night had I not left my E-10 in neutral.
When I came down to breakfast this morning, I heard a strange whirring
sound coming through the kitchen window. It turned out the E-10
had turned itself on. It was aimed at the house. Imagine an
E-10 coming in through your window in the middle of the night!
When I
got the thing, the safety feature that prevents it from starting without your
foot on the pedal was already broken. I ordered the parts to fix it, but
never got around to it. (Those round tuits are hard to find -- mine are all
square!) Now, it seems something has shorted and turned the motor on
even though the key switch is off.
Question: Is this likely to
be a bum relay or just the key switch? This happened on a damp night,
although the E-10 is under cover.
