Re: (ET) OT ET charger



The magnecharge uses an inductive "paddle", so the box you have is really only part of the charger. The rest is included in the vehicle being charged. Think of it as cutting a transformer in half: the primary winding is the Magnecharger paddle, the secondary winding is the charge port on the vehicle.

As such, it is only useful to those with a matching vehicle: the (now mostly crushed) GM EV-1's, GM S-10's, Toyota Rav-4's, some Solectria's, and a few others. Like ET's, shipping is a pain so where your friend is located and who is looking in the immediate area has a lot to do with the price. As other have noted, the going price is nowhere near the $1000's it originally cost.

Off to work on my 1998 S-10 NiMH battery pack and get the beast back on the road :-)

Probably not quite ET stuff, but a friend has a charger that appears to be for an EV-1. It is about 5' tall, maybe 10 x 15 inches around, says Magnecharger on the front, the nameplate says it is by Delco Electronics Power Control Systems, Floor Mount EV Battery Charger FM200, 208-240 input, 30 amps, output 6600 watts max, made in 1997.
Is it useful/valuable?

Thanks,
