Taming Lester 8

Who says I never finish projects?

Well, everybody, basically.

Just to be unpredictable, I've completed the construction/rebuilding of this charger. Last week had a couple of days of wet weather, and to stave off boredom and feel like I was acomplishing something (as well as clearing room in the garage for more projects), I sat down and built the circuit board that was needed to control the charger. A few last-minute design changes as I was doing the construction enhanced the operation, and the whole thing is now buttoned up and ready to fast charge the EV.

Here it is jamming some amps into an already fully-charged traction pack:

The little trolley it's sitting on was a small welding project from last year, some leftovers from a bunch of retail display shelving that I recycled. About all that's left to do is paint the red metal frame and the charger is complete.

Oh, I guess that means that the Lester isn't really done....
