Hello Fellow Early Adapters,

I have a 30 yr old EV, Jet Electra, Ford Escort.

I'm runnin' 120 vdc. and my Daystarter Onboard Charger is Not Functioning.

i have to charge each of the 10 batteries individually.

I checked both fuses and they're good. I don't know what to look for in voltages.

What Crapped it , Do You Say?

Well trying, to charge 6 batteries with a 10 battery charger, may have had something to do with it. Did you know that while charging those silver battery things at night, its real easy to hook up the charger backwards, and that the battery will charge? Well one that reduces your range and performance.

I need some suggestions for a solution, to get my charger working again. I promise not to over load it again. SPARKY
