This is the Beata Collections test box for the Magne Charge systems. To the lower right are the paddle, receiver and controller units, to the left is the conversion unit. MC unit are primarily made up of these

The black unit on the left in this photograph is a DC/DC converter for 12v supply and not part of the original MC components.

This test-box allows us to use a known-good wiring harness and supporting equipment to switch-out and test various components.

We have added two panel meters to track pack voltage and amperage as sceen here in the upper left corner.

Pictured here are two 5vdc power supplies for the meters mentioned above.

This shot shows our period (Win98) laptop as utilized for programing changes to the vintage software. We have three versions of the control software: 1) c1996_EV13172; 2) c1996_EV14043, and; 3) c1997_EV.00.e_cc200. Post 1997 MC software was integrated into GMs PCM & BPCM systems for the production EV1s and S10Es and are therefore not reprogramable.

The MC systems had two (2) versions of the paddle receiver. Pictured to the right is the newer (and last) version which has been upgraded to liquid cooling for the capacitors.

Here is the v2 Controller.

The v2 Converter.

And, this last shot shows the earlier v2, air-cooled, Receiver.
