Mitch, My jellybean (#94) came with the beltguard. Yours might be predrilled to accept it - look for a u-shaped bracket on the swingarm. Yes, the beltguard...

Hi Sparrownauts, Just been catching up a little on the group posts. Hope everyone had a good Easter weekend. Sparrows do look a little like Easter eggs,...
The next generation Sparrow III is now on the drawing boards. The goal is to double and even triple the range of the Sparrow with a possible range of 120...
The Evercel trolling batteries can not fit in the Sparrow because they they are too long. Also the ones with the charger built in are also too tall to fit...
Clare, I learned / confirmed a lot from your message. A couple of things surprised me: 1) I thought that if the current ever went up significantly during phase...
Some may wonder how to protect the Sparrow when outside (like locations without a garage). So I've uploaded some views of my jellybean under wraps. There are 4...

... They won't answer that unless you have full specifications for your charger and thermal management system ready. (I asked price, and they refused to ...
... Excellent post, Clare. It's great to have you here with us; we've been speculating about what Corbin was up to, and it's quite informative to hear the...
Clare or knowledgeable others-- How difficult and how expensive would it be to make a separate float charger that would plug into the Sparrow's Anderson...
... Well, a naive approach would cost as much as another full charger (e.g. buy a PFC-20, set it up with the right parameters, and you are done). Another...
... I know this was a joke, but I do wonder why the Sparrow doesn't get more range. For instance the RAV4 EV http://ev.inel.gov/fop/eva/toyrav98.html has 24...
... I would have guessed that the biggest difference would the Pekurat (sp) factor. Lead acid vs. nimh. Also pack cost of $1500 vs. $30K. From published...
Intermatic T101 - I have it hardwired to a separate circuit in line with an outdoor outlet. One thing I have learned is not to charge when the sun is directly...
... No, I think a $2K and under pack is more *feasible* that $30K/pack. So we win on feasibility, but we're way behind on capacity ... and longevity. The...
Clare, A hearty, belated welcome to the group. vituperations! What the hell is that? Never mind. Hey, thanks for the insight on the V9, very useful (not that...
Tom, Careful. The EV RAV4 with NiMH is able to take 80% DOD and survive. The Sparrow with PbA is only able to take 50% DOD. Also, the NiMH is rated for 95ah...
Hi Ed, So what you are saying is that the RAV4 uses 500 watts from the socket per mile while the Sparrow uses roughly 180 watts from the socket per mile? I...
Hi Sparrownauts, I've got some serious questions about the Corbin Sparrow II web post info. At present, Sparrow 2 has all but 3 batteries up in the front ...
Yes Tom, That has been my experience from almost 4 years driving a Honda EVplus (which has the same battery pack as the EV RAV4, except water cooled instead of...
Clare, I've experimented with the battery space/limitations and the NiZn 100ah monoblock is too large overall to fit any useful layout. Without modifying the...
Clare, Chris brings up a good point, maybe you could shed some insight onto this: What's with the lack of V9 chips? Goodness they are just chips, given that...
Ed, I agree, I've been through the same routine (see my posting on the subject of the M40's) You just can't get M100's to fit. But an idea just occured to me...
... It's an ST62T25C6, SGS Thompson ST6 family micro. They are available and relatively cheap. They have one "feature" that may make it impossible to copy...
... I'm pretty sure I came up with a 120v pack layout that would fit. Of course there is the MB15-12, which if you use as quintuplets, lets you get 156v and...
