I am new to the board and while looking at the Z-20, XM-2000, etc, I found mention of the Efun-D. But somewhere around November of 07 it fell off the board all together.
Hey - welcome back Dan! Long time no post. How are your Efun sales going?

I was reading you facts information page and it said that you could charge lead acid batteries at up to 104 degrees and Li-ion batteries up to 140 degrees. I have never heard this before in fact I have heard the opposite. Li-ion are consider very bothered by high temperatures. Where did you get this information. I tryed the Battery University site you recommended but that did not confirm your information.
The controller has been recently been updated to handle more heat. Like all scooters battery balance in the string is an issue.

I see the temperature limit on the B&B batteries. Where did you get the 140 degrees charge limit on the Li-ion Batteries.
