Bill,
You might want to search the list since I believe there's been
quite a bit discussion about this. Golf cart controllers have been
mentioned, and I've talked about a Scoota controller from www.4qd.co.uk ...Bob

I want to make some electrical improvements to my E12 which I think most Elek-trac owners would also want. These are things GE would probably have done if they'd had today's technology in 1970: 1. A solid state speed control. This could supply 3 discrete speeds as now, or with more extensive wiring changes it could give smooth continuous infinitely variable speed change. Relays could be eliminated. 2. LCD voltage readouts (bar type, where the length of the bar is proportional to volts) for each battery. One cheap variety is used on the packaging of small throw-a-way batteries ( sizes D, AAA, etc.). I envision a small 6-bar array on the dash. It would supply a lot of info: individual battery voltage in comparison with the other 5, load and no-load and during charging. A 7th could indicate total voltage of the six batteries. Bad cables and terminal connections would be more obvious. These could be always connected since very little current is drawn. It would replace the so-called fuel gage. I'd like to hear some thoughts and suggestions and parts source references. Thanks.....Bill Alburty |
