System Components

The Sparrow Charging System is a sensitive electrical configuration comprising the following components:

• Batteries
• Brush Motor
• Charger
• Controller

Batteries

Your Sparrow has thirteen 12-volt batteries wired in series to create a 156-volt nominal system. This is known as the Sparrow's battery pack.

Six of the batteries are located under your hood.

The remaining seven batteries are located under the driver's seat. Despite the physical separation, the batteries are electrically connected.

Brush Motor

The brush motor converts the electricity provided by the Battery Pack into mechanical energy and propels the vehicle. The motor is located in the lower center of the Sparrow's chassis (indicated by black arrow in photo to the left).

Charger

The Charger is a large black box that sits on top of the batteries under the hood.

Controller

The Controller is located behind the right rear access panel. The controller regulates current from the battery pack to the brush motor.
