The problem

On certain city transit buses equipped with sure power series 1 battery equalizers, these equalizers used an inductor with the coils protected by insulation. Over time, the inductor insulation may degrade creating an electrical short within the equalizer.

The risk

The shorted inductor may cause the battery equalizer to smoke or burn, possibly resulting in a fire.

The fix

Nabi, along with sure power, will inspect and replace the battery equalizer free of charge. The recall began on september 25, 2006. Owners may contact nabi at 1-888-424-5844, extension 7900.
