| This is an original GE E15 Elec-Trak. I have no patience with original electronics. I stripped all of the wiring and put in a new controller that I designed. It will work with the original switches and mechanisms, but more efficiently. My SAFT STM-180's where such a tight fit I smashed my fingers putting them in, but they will give twice the range of any lead acids. | |
