I ordered fuses and holder off Amazon, but I got the micro fuse and the regular size holder. Would not work together. I studied the situation and decided I could place the fuse directly on the battery terminal and connect the cable to the inverter to the other end of the fuse. I will try to post...

I did the same thing with the Xantrex inverter, but I ran a cable through the firewall to the back seat floor on the passenger side and set it on a big marine battery. Have not lost power at all in the house since I did this, so I have not had a chance to test it out for real. I purchased a DC...

Very pretty! Thank you for the glasses in the picture so we get an idea of scale. Those are large cores, but small compared to 10 power supplies. Cor's solution is probably the least expensive one, recycling power supplies. This is certainly the most elegant solution. We will run out of used...

I do not know where to look for schematics for these, it will be very time consuming reverse engineering them, and some technology might be proprietary. I can not find the pinout for the output, and a board probably must be de-soldered to trace the lines from it. Sorry about not posting the...

Friday night I received the 12 units I ordered off ebay. Took one apart yesterday. VERY nice!!! Quite a step above the ATX power supplies! And there are 48 volt DC input versions available which could run off my 48 volt solar battery system... A solar quick charging unit...hmmmm. What are the...

Is there a diagram-parts list for just the output stage? Your charger is on this link?http://www.emotorwerks.com/tech/electronics Thank you, Jim

Links on modifying ATX power supplies for a quick charger: I have a few isolated PC ATX power supplies, one person's circuit diagram of them here: http://www.pavouk.org/hw/en_atxps.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; These can be modified to output 4-16 volts dc, one person's...

I asked on the EVTech email list for power supply help. I gave a link to this thread. I hope Cor did not get scared off because we need all the talented experienced EV friendly engineers we can get working on this... I guess I did not make it clear that the communications and control aspects...

A small, inexpensive, light weight power supply typically is not isolated. Isolated power supplies typically rely on an isolation transformer which is heavy, and relatively expensive. So the power supply "problem" as I see it, becomes one of "how does one isolate a power supply without an...

The Surplus Cell Site "Power Supply" I got is a Best Ferrups 15kW UPS. I removed it from a decommissioned cell site building and bought it from the owner off Ebay. He had moved the building to his yard outside Richmond, VA. Yes, it uses 12 (oops, 10 I mean) lead acid batteries, (120 volts...

I would like to participate in this project, if I may. I have Gary's famous meter. I have access to a quick charger at Van Ness Station in D.C., and hopefully to more, soon. And I have recordings of at least 5 quick charges I can play back, from charging my Blue 2012 Nissan LEAF, from the...

Sorry about hijacking the wrong thread. 40k homes are still without electricity and could use LEAFS for power. I do not mean to interfere with this in any way... Thank you for the useful responses. How much does the 400 volt 1.7kw inverter run, I wonder? Whisper quiet sounds great for the...

I am in Northern VA, and luckily (for us) the storm went mostly to the north. My tree and house damages were within acceptable limits. Power hardly went off. I've been using a 250 watt inverter running off the cabin light fuse on the fuse panel on the left of the steering wheel, for a couple...

Here are some ideas for future projects as the leafscan is hopefully almost done... A $25 Raspberry Pi with a usb blue tooth to communicate with the Clarion console in the Nissan LEAF would eliminate the display part but require software addition to the existing Microsoft Windoze CE Automotive...

I am new to this list and have been driving my 2011 leaf for 3 weeks now. I read all the posts on the leafscan and would like to pay for one up front, regardless of the price, and hoping it will be available as soon as possible. I am in the Northern VA area, just outside Washington DC. If I...
