ElCon TC Charger

Extractor · 11-12-2019, 02:06 PM

Has anyone had trouble ordering the TC charger? evcomponents website is not working when I go to pay and for the past 2 days and they haven't responded to my emails. Aliexpress doesn't have a place to request Can bus control so they say just contact us via email but I see that going wrong and having to send it out like others have.
Where are you guys getting the ElCon TC charger?

Hopefully this will help you.

DaveTM did this build thread when he converted to lithium.

http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/lithi...ium-build.html

I would suggest you send him a PM and he can give you advice on how to get what you need. He had a couple issues regarding the charger. He did document this in the thread.

Hope this helps!

Actually, the El-con fiasco (of my own making) starts on post #225, or here: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/lithi...ml#post1549400

Here is where you want to buy your ElCon charger from: https://www.elconchargers.com/catalo...0/10295151.htm

I bought mine from (IIRC) EV and EV is out of China. They don't have the expertise to program the ElCon to be setup for changing the parameters. They just sell a "hard wired" version.

The California company is where I sent my originally hard wired unit to have changed to interact with my ZEVA so I can set the parameters.

FWIW

Thanks guys...I appreciate the help. I am trying to gather all the parts. I have read through both of your builds and gathered great info along with other builds. We'll see what issues I run into along the way......

It's a fun and educational build! I'll offer any help I can. Good luck and have fun!

Is Elcon usually quick to respond to website contact inquiries? Or what has your experience been with this company?

The California firm https://www.elconchargers.com/index.html responded to me a few years back promptly. But today with this C19 stuff....who knows?
