[VAC] Re: Questions on Uni-Volt



Hmmm, Jim.  I was going on information from this post:

"I'm just tuning into this discussion and missed any previous info.
My univolt stopped charging. I called BR Wholesale (800-848-0934) and
sent it to them to rebuild. It cost $30 each way to send it because it's so
heavy and about $100 to rebuild. Not only that, I cut my arms up while
contorting myself while getting the thing out - I swear they built the
trailer around it. Now, it overcharges and dries up the cells - I don't
blame BR Wholesale, they told me up front I was taking a chance. So... this
spring I'll be getting something new. I'll be watching this string to get
the advice I have so many times depended upon in other matters.
I've been told that my univolt has the "fuse box" attached to it. For
that reason it will be necessary for me to a) install a new fuse box or b)
use the old one from the univolt and attach it somewhere close. I will loose
the "power light" from my control panel because new units do not have a
terminal from which to run the wire."
