Just ordered TURBO TIMER 4 from your online store
I will later buy 18V INTERFACE BOARD when it is again available.

CJB - First off thank you for these products and your support! Seriously cool stuff. I ordered the turbo timer 4 and 18v board a few months back, haven't installed it yet (12v is still ok for my 4 year old). My main reason for buying the 18v board was the simplicity in charging. As it looks like you don't plan to make anymore, and I didn't see this post until now, would you provide the schematics for just the charging part?

Also, just as a thought, would you consider selling them if you provided no support? I know that won't sit right for some people, but there are others like myself who would be OK with that I'm sure!

Anyways, I'm glad I bought when I did (I had a thought this day would come). Take care!

Thanks for the explanation! I have a couple electrical engineer friends I can bounce this off of as well, but that helps. Also, I just purchased another Turbo Timer 4 while you still have them in stock. That will put two of them on the "unused" counter, but don't tell my wife! I actually was tempted to purchase two of each months ago, obviously I am now kicking myself!

I read thru them, they make sense to me. I wouldn't consider this hobby/modification to be for everyone... I am surprised "those types" even purchase your parts!

CJB you rock! (I added myself to be emailed on this thread so I don't miss another opportunity)
I will take the first 2 18v boards and another TT4 when available! Should I just keep an eye on this post, or what is the best way to be alerted when they are back in stock.

Hi, just a quick question....
I am planning to run 24v in a recently acquired feber (or famosa/avigo for US market) Ferrari California which comes 12v from factory.
Can your interface board and turbo timer handle the extra 6v or am I going to blow everything up?
If they do, count me in for both when you have the new batch ready.

Hey man. Great stuff..

Sorry I am getting in here a little late, but you made the newsletter and so the thread caught my eye.

If you want to host, just let me know. I can help out.

email me: jason@<thiswebsite>.com

I see you have your web store setup, if that is good then great. Otherwise maybe a wordpress + ecommerce thing would work?
(all Scammer - I'll handle the hosting)...

I put my order in! Not missing this again. I now have more of these kits than I have power wheels... I'm excited!

Thanks so much CJB!

CJB - That is definitely not required! I am just happy that you take the time, as wired said above, to help this community. It is really not a lot for shipping, I am happy to pay that with nothing more in return.

Any chance that you'll have more stock of the Turbo Timer and the 18V Circuit Board available any time soon? I just picked up a used Jeep Hurricane for my son and the battery is nearly shot, so I wanted to do an 18V upgrade while I was at it...

[notasausage]

I figured as much. Let me know if you find any time, I'd love to add a TT4 at the very least!

Will this work with 24 volts ? 2 * 12 volt batteries ?

thanks.

[thisdave]

Thanks.
Question: so you can wire it up so it turns off all the accessories after 5 minutes of non use. Does this capability still draw power once it turns everything off after 5 minutes?

I wired up a wireless kill switch, that works great, except if I forget to disconnect it after use then it slow drains the battery, wondering if I could wire it as an accessory on your unit, then it would quit draining the battery etc.

[thisdave]

Thanks
another question.
Would your 18V INTERFACE BOARD work with 24 v ... could your charge 2 12volt batteries from the single 12 volt charging port ? and I guess the 6 volt charging port would just be redundant.
OR
would I be able to mark the 6v as 12 volt and just connect the second 12 volt battery to the 6 volt port, and combine the charging ports for one 12 volt battery charger ?

so 2 12 volt input batteries and the output would be 24 volts ?

Thanks.

[thisdave]

thanks

[thisdave]

would I be able to attach a single 24 volt charger to your board to charge both batteries?
which terminals would I attach a single 24 volt charger?
if not I could attach 2 12 volt chargers to your board an it would charge both batteries etc. ?

Just ordered them
thanks

[thisdave]

Thanks
any recommendations on 24 volt chargers by any chance ? :)

Just about to start putting this in finally!
I've bought the turbo timer & 18v interface board.. and intend to use it with 2 12vdc batteries.

I asked before and you said this should be fine.. but reading your FAQ page - viewtopic.php?f=21&t=21181

Noticed you have said.. on the 18v interface faq
"
Q: Can I use this on 24V or higher?
A: No. Don't try it. This is strictly for a 12+6, 18V system.
"
Will it work with 2 12vdc batteries ? Does the FAQ need updating ?

One other question.. I have the 2 relays for the 18V interface board.
Do I require another relay for the battery saver relay circuit ?

Thanks.

[thisdave]

Thanks..
What's your guess as to what will fail with 2 12vdc batteries ?

I was intending to use the SS mode initially with the turbo timer board & 18v interface board with the 2 12vdc batteries.
Should be ok right ?

Also do the LED's work in SS mode with the turbo timer board & 18v interface board?

and one last question :) If I run 2 jacks to the 2 charging ports on the interface board, is the board clever enough to only allow current in, so once I disconnect the chargers from the charging jacks, the jacks will be dead, or do I have to figure out how to wire it so the charging jack won't short if my 3 year old decides to stick something metallic into the charging jacks etc.

cheers.
