Victor Charger Owners BEWARE

Please read my posting at:
http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showthread.php?t=80999

about my very bad business dealings with Mr. John Caval at that URL.
I cannot in good conscience recommend Mr. Caval's Victor-repair services.
I am very dissatisfied with his service and attitude.

I DO recommend Sam Capri for Victor repairs. He is very knowledgeable, his work is of excellent quality, and he ensures complete customer satisfaction.

Hey guys,

I've done lots of Victor IQ repairs and upgrades over the years. I have fixed chargers and charged money for the repairs but its not something I'm overly interested in. I do have parts on hand for the IQs - processors, eproms, fets, ram, LCD displays, etc. I'm happy to offer whatever advice I can on repairing them for people who want to do it themselves.
Several times over the years I've wanted to setup a repair FAQ/trouble shooting FAQ on a webpage but I've just never found the time to do it.
I've also made a few changes to the software and looked at doing more major changes but the time it takes to disassemble the software and figure out what its all doing is a challenge.

I can say that I love my IQs, I use a pair every weekend at the track, only charger I've used for well over 10 years now - since the original IQ was released by Vic.

I'm located in Western Canada - if I can help by all means let me know.

Hey Guy's
I have like new Hi -Iqsr steal in box used 2 times 15 years ago can it be up graded for todays use?

It can be upgraded to the latest rev - its a decent amount of work though.

i need some work on my sr steve it comes on but won't boot softwere can you help me out. Bill

Steve is it werth upgraded

Bill 427 - PM me all the details around how it died or what happened when it died, maybe we can identify the failure.

racinroger - I guess it depends on if you will use it, the scripts and full NiMH support is nice. I myself rarely use the extreme discharge capability. As I mentioned before I'm not overly interested in doing the hardware upgrades thesedays, just not enough time.

I can offer trouble shooting, parts and software upgrades though.

I've seen mention elsewhere of the "scripting" capability of the Victor chargers. What does the actually refer to?

I just picked up a Victor Super2 IQ that has the IQ3000 firmware. The problem with it is that it will only discharge up to 20 amps. When I go into discharge/cycle mode it only lets me enter 0.1 - 20.0 amps. If I put any number higher that 20 it is rejected. Is there some hidden menu or something that will enable the full discharge rates (i.e. up to 40 amps)?

hey Kcobra my hiiq2 with the 3000 chip does the same thing but when i charge it charges at twice the amps that is on the screen so watch out when charging.

Thanks for the tip. This one seems to charge correctly. I've tried out 4 and 6 cell 3300 packs at 6 amps and they take about 35min to charge. The 20 amp discharge thing is a show stopper though. If I cann't figure it out I'm gonna ask the guy for a refund.

Hi Steve, I have a Victor Hi IQ silver case. I have upgraded it to the newest eprom but now my motor capabilities are gone. I did put the new capacitor in when I upgraded. I love the charge and don't want to get rid of it. Any help would be great.
Thanks,

I have a couple of the silver case IQ and the motor run feature won't regulate the motor voltage and sends the input voltage to the motor (12VDC) Does anyone repair these things?

Anybody know what the part number is for the eprom chip in the Victor chargers?

27c512

Does anyone have the manuals for the IQ3000 or the Hi IQ SR? I have both versions but no manuals for them. I know there's stuff in them that are great, that's why I bought them. I'd just like to know how to use them both properly.

scott21@shaw.ca

is my email address if you do.

Thanks

Thanks. Still need more guys. I have the 10 page manual but there is a bigger, more in depth manual to them. I still don't have a manual for the Hi IQ Sr. unit either.

Thanks.
