Default Re: Lithium Charger???

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?
