Re: Modifying PowerDrive charger to use with a Timer or Remote Control
Quote:
I will just mention that the OEM OBC/Powerdrive charger without any changes works better than what you described.... 2.08v per cell is 80% SOC, it would take a regular pack under the worst conditions (very hot temperature) over 4 weeks to self-discharge that much. The OBC will recycle the charger every 15 days which is plenty for storage. If You need 24/7 stand-by power from your pack, you really need a "float" charger like the DPI, but again, this thread is not intended to offer a replacement for that. |

Re: Modifying PowerDrive charger to use with a Timer or Remote Control
Just an update as I had a chance to use the remote feature for the first time already.
Friday before I left work I cycled the charger using the phone app, when I took the cart out that night the pack was at 52v, still resting from a fresh charge. |

Success! I now have a remote "activatable" charger.

Re: Modifying PowerDrive charger to use with a Timer or Remote Control
I am glad it worked for your charger also, I used mine again this past Friday before I left work, the cart drives really good fresh off a charge.
For anyone else that has the same model charger You have, did You interrupt both Terminal #6 (white) and Terminal #16 (black)? |

Re: Modifying PowerDrive charger to use with a Timer or Remote Control
Sergio
In order to use your exact set up as described , do you have to have a wifi set up at the place the car will be stored? In other words, if i have the cart parked in a remote storage , that only has 1 ac receptacle, and no wifi set up or signal, can i still activate the charger from the phone? |

Re: Modifying PowerDrive charger to use with a Timer or Remote Control
Those wifi plugs need internet access for you to be able to control from a remote location.
You can always just use a plain "weekly" timer setup to come on for 1 minute once a week. |
