Why an internal switch for golf cart battery charger?

When you start to recharge the batteries for a golf cart, definitely you need to stop the vehicle completely, for security reason and also for electric safety operation.

By applying the brakes, you may stop the vehicle physically. But there is always a possibility that someone who is not aware of the charging status, and accidentally start the engine. For avoiding the accidental movement of vehicle during the charging process, it is totally necessary that we need an inhibit mechanism for "charger on / vehicle stop" status.

A battery charger connector with an internal switch can perfectly take the role of "inhibit" in an on-board battery charger. The internal switch can control the coil of a DC contactor which is the main switch to the power feeding circuit of the vehicle. When the battery charger is plugged in, the power to the control coil of contactor is cut off. Then the vehicle will not be able move by losing the power supply.

YEEDA Y-30 is such a power connector with an internal switch, suitable for battery chargers and other similar applications. For more details, please see the webpage: https://www.nocoev.com/product/YEEDA_Y-30_AC_Charger_Connector.htm

Forklift Renting & Service Company, The Uprising Role In The Forklift Industry

Benefiting the fast economical growth of last 4 decades, some Chinese forklift manufacturers become industrial giants. Their products and service are available all around the world. Some of them are steadily constructing a global reputation.

But in China, a new trend is rising. There are some new companies are even more powerful than these manufacturers. We call them "Forklift Renting & Service Companies". 

Far from the common understanding of the warehouse equipment service provider, the "Forklift Renting & Service Company" is a kind of capital investment. They buy all kinds of equipment and material, including forklift, pallet stacker, AGV, scissor lift, tractor, etc. They provide some logistic solutions to different enterprises, renting one forklift, running a warehouse, or even constructing a distribution center. With the aid of their strong financial background,  "Forklift Renting & Service Companies" are composing a new industrial network.

Bypassing the parts dealer, the large purchase quantity will force the forklift manufacturers to open their part supply chain. "Forklift Renting & Service Companies" make all parts much cheaper than the traditional parts channel. They have professional team for maintaining the machines, vehicles and tools.

The uprising of these financial "Forklift Renting & Service Companies" prove that "quantity is power", "large order quantity is the right of speak" and "the big buyer decide".

ZAPI Supply Failure Alarm Caused By Using Wrong Batteries

The ZAPI smart console is an useful tool for diagnosing and setting ZAPI programmable controllers and gauges.

But in real application, the usage of wrong batteries may stop the function of the ZAPI smart console.

It is recommended to use four AA size NiMh / Akaline batteries as the internal power source for the smart console.

For normal AA size NiMh / Akaline batteries, the voltage is 1.2V per cell (less than 1.45V per cell even after fully charged), complying to the Maximum Supply Voltage (Sum of 4 cells) 6.5V.

If you choose the 1.5V Alkaline batteries, the full battery voltage could be 1.7 volts (even 1.8 volts). The total voltage of 4 cells will be over 6.5V and trigger the alarm "Supply Failure". In this case, you will not be able to turn on the smart console.

The default password of ZAPI smart console

We sell ZAPI smart console in our online store: https://www.nocoev.com/product/ZAPI_Smart_Console.htm

Recently, we get an issue about the Password of ZAPI smart console. A client who has bought a smart console and received it quickly. After putting 4 NiMh AA batteries into the console, our client enters the console interface by powering on the device.

By viewing the menu of console, the client has found the Password was not activated. So he changed the setting to activate the Password protection function. But he was troubled by next scenario. After restarting the console, a reminding message "insert the password" displays. Embarrassingly, the default password indicated in the ZAPI product manual "00000" was not correct.

After trying many times, we are really happy that we get a positive result to find the default code as "55555". The console is finally accessible.

So a recommendation is that you should not activate the Password function of ZAPI smart console. We are lucky this time to find the default password which is not a complicate numeric composition. Who knows if ZAPI will change the default password instead of the instruction of their product manual.
