> QUESTION REMAINS: do I still need the 16ga wire coming off the neg post of my battery going to the (-72v) terminal on the PSDM? What batteries are you still using? Are you using a temp sensor? ---

I am in the process of removing the AGM batteries, cleaning everything up and will be replacing them with lithium. I understand they don’t require a temp sensor. ---

OK, Then no. You don’t need those wires running back there. ---

My goal is to make my 2005 Gem e2 the sharpest and fastest Gem in town, turn everyone’s head as I go down the street, should be pretty easy since its the only one in town. I do get a lot of attention when I park it beside the oldies at our car shows we have at the bank parking lot. I’ll post everything I do with pictures in hopes of getting other to join in the sheer joy of driving these things, the future for them has just gotten a huge shot in the arm with this economy we’re in and the help from you guys. ---

Good afternoon folks…hoping to revive ‘The Green Wire’ chat again in hopes to understand a bit more. Long story…condensed… - Bought a 2005 EL that was owned by Delta-Q and used to build their prototype charger - charger died but they offered me a newer replacement at cost…922-7254. - I have managed to get everything working and converted with exception of the Green wire, the new charger has a 8 pin Deustch connector and I know to use Pin 3 & 5 but not sure which one is the green wire 3 or 5 and really don’t know what the other wire should be? Any help is appreciated! ---

Interesting choice for a replacement. This 7254 charger has the DC Converter built in. Have you figured out how to hook it up and remove your Surepower Converter? ---

Delta Q had already done that when they used the cart for R&D so I did not have too 🙂 ---
