Virtual ground

[Mike(Mont)]

Didn't cost me anything except my time. thanks for trying to help me. I'm kinda beyond help. I just installed the caps as per the photo I posted. I couldn't notice any difference. I thought about adding the 1N4007 as per your schematic. But if I go that route, I'll need a higher voltage battery, a different battery charger, balancer board. Just don't feel like spending the money on this--money i don't have. Besides, this circuit is not the same. i just want to quit working on this Contraption. Maybe, okay, probably after I get skunked a few times i will get in the panic mode.

i even exchanged the 0.33uF for the 10uF electrolytic and no change. I did notice it ran quite a bit warmer with the caps so I removed them and it cooled down. This is with a heat sink on it.

So back to where i was. I tried and failed again. It's okay, I'm just leaving it like this for now. I can live with it until I find out what happens in the field this Spring. So no gasoline or suicide just yet.
