Lithium Charger???
 

I’m running a conversion to Lithiun with the 7 Nissan Leaf cells and I’m having a problem getting information on what charger to run any input would be great

I purchased an Elcon TC HK-H 1800W Charger. Now....don't do what I did.

I purchased my charger from a web site called EV Components. What I didn't do ('cause I didn't know) was to be specific and tell them my charger was going to be used with a ZEVA BMS, and they needed to program it for that. However, I answered all of their questions....but their web site is "geared" to have the charger "hard wired" to just one top voltage setting. BTW.....EV Components is a company in China. Not that it's a big deal, but communication with them can be.....ummm....difficult. Plus you have to wait a few days for shipment via DHL.

If I had a "do-over" I'd go right to the California dealer.

I then sent the charger to be re-programed out to "Electric Conversions" http://www.elconchargers.com/index.html out in California to have that done. It cost an additional $100+ for that. I would suggest you buy it from California and tell them you want it able to integrate AND CHANGE the settings to what you want.

BTW.....did I mention to consider buying from the California guys? :lhmo::lhmo:

First, what BMS are you using? If no BMS, the stock charger could be used, but you have to manually watch the voltage and turn it off when you see peek voltage. I don’t suggest that.

I suggest using a bms.
