Hi, Yes, I noticed the soft start/stop. I was going to look into that a bit further.
The packs I have unfortunately don't have tags between the cells that I can see, even after removing the shrink.
I don't know how they have been assembled, but it looks like they are directly spot welded to each other.
The packs are made by Saft themselves, not by an after market assembler.
But yes I take your point, I could rebuild the packs even with some complication, but there not really a problem using 14.4V, and the ballast is about right.
I was just interested in getting peoples views on compatible controllers, as it's been some years and time may have gone on from Electronisze/MTroniks.
Always worth looking at the new options on the block.
Thanks for the reply.
Jon
