I returned from my business trip to Bangkok (long story in itself) to find two boxes waiting for me – the replacement DC-DC converter and new cables for the BMS. It took me about 4 hours to replace the DC-DC converter and the 4 cables, but well worth the effort. The DC-DC converter works as advertised, providing 13.5 volts. The new cables eliminated the intermittent communications problems during charging.
Proof is that the batteries are now fully charged. I can see the car quivering with excitement in the driveway, begging to be driven. I think I’ll do that today. 🙂
BTW, EV Components has been great during all of this – providing excellent customer support and fast shipping of new parts.
