[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]We have delivered close to 100 R8 Motor Drive sets and so far the problems we have experienced are confined to the charger: four chargers had a defective green LED which failed to light up when charging was completed. The chargers were otherwise functional. We have had no problem with the motor drives, although some very early R8s (#228xxxx and 229xxxx) would not work with the drives.
