I had the same problem when I put lithium in my 2000 with a t2 controller

I did a mock up just holding the charger against the firewall and realized there wasn’t enough aluminum vertically to meet the top and bottom mounts. I’d have to figure out a way to extend the aluminum firewall and get the 1 inch spacing so the cooling fins weren’t hitting the components on the left and right side. Went to the hardware store with the charger…

for whatever reason, on that car and another 94v was the magic number. I couldn’t run over that without getting error 77.

Turn the headlights on to suck down the pack. Keep trying as the voltage decreases.
