That’s right! I forgot you also like to go out barefoot and pee on the neighbors electric fence.
00-04 don’t have a PSDM. That started in 05 when the T3 came out and pod got the full display screen
No SOC reset on T1 & T2 as i recall. Center pod round dial LED simply translates voltage to % . Signal supplied via the 8 or 12 pin jumbo RJ connector alond with MPH and at key off ODO mileage. I don’t remember offhand if the display does the translaton or its actually already supplied as a % from the controller. The lack of any memory for SOC is one of the reasons why its so jumpy. It’ll do stuff like pop back up to 100% just when lightly used batteries voltage climps as thry sit and cool, then 50 feet later its reading 84%.
Also i had my piezo sleaker disconnected and jumped the switch to the brake off position permanetly at one point. Batteries charged fine. No speaker, so couldn’t hear the controller complain. If switch is in brake on position, it won’t permit FWD or REV movement.
00-04 with T1 and T2 are kind of primitave. If the suspension, steering, frame cracking and anemic motor had been different, those controllers were actually fun. It was the cart around them truly sucked. The controllers were dumb as box of a rocks. You could do stuff with them that you could never do on later ones. They took those features out or locked them up in the supermax and level 6 access wouldn’t get you to them anymore.
Yep. I’m hip.
This topic hops around a bit and details get a little lost. One of the quirks of jumping on an old topic and making it a multi-threaded conversation. I’ll scroll back up and add a modifier to my statement, but I did mention Gen2 Gem.
- JoePico is apparently working on a 2001. ← JJJ’s advice applies
- kh2 is working on a 2008 and the OP of this topic.
No worries Byron, we all do it. This very thread i thought @kj2 had a 2002 when it was really a 2008. When its @Joepiccaso who has the Battlestar GEMtastica. I think that when Pops jumped in with the DQ comment is how i got mixed up. So lets blame Dave.

Dave’s not here man.
Dave. Dave, what are you doing Dave?
I can’t see you anymore Dave. Are you still here Dave?
Hi,
I installed the Mighty Mite from Lithium Gods about 3 months ago in my 2000 E825 Gem. I’m very happy with the results. The entire pack fits under the hood. It’s not very particular what kind of charger is used so I stuck with my OEM Delta Q. I moved the on/off switch to be alongside a voltage meter I installed in the dash. Those guys are knowledgeable and very helpful. I’d talk to them before buying anything.
