ev100 problem

I have a truck with an ev100 fitted which is causing me grief
started with truck showing error 47 so changed rec 2 and sorted it but half hour later started to become jerky and the contactor keeps throwing in and out at full throttle then started showing error 48 momenteruly but it didnt stop truck every time ie no need to cycle key switch. now error 48 apparently points to rec 3 but I'm wondering if the problem could be the contactor as according to the customer the truck has been clicking ie contactor dropping for quite sometime with no error codes any ideas??

Showing items 1 - 2 of 2 results.
sounds to me like you could have a capacitor issue, maybe 5 rec. Check voltage at T1 and T2 (1 rec) you should have battery volts one side and half battery volts on the other side. Make sure all connections are tight, EV100 is very sensative to that. Usually a bad 1 or 3 rec will not let the truck travel at all, but you never know.

as per GE, before attempting to troubleshoot any problems on a forklift equipped with ev 100, you should first do a test to check for shorts to frame, on all the power cables, and load test (hydraulic dead head) the battery for voltage drop. have you done these tests?
