Looks very non-stock with the extra Anderson connector, cables, bus-bar type connectors and white Tyco contactor. Somebody had a different battery system in there and probably was bypassing all the stock controls. I wonder if they ever got the system to run, as the BMS is the...

So Noah and I have been working on resurrecting an S10. I think I've located the parts missing from the battery box. So what we know so far is that the truck was running but it blew one or two dc-dc converters. Noah can correct me if I'm forgetting something. The truck is curr...

Yes they can be left on the charger. A lead truck would be fine but not a good idea with a NiMH truck. For the NiMH most of us feel with good reason it is a risk to let the truck go into the one hour 5 amp maintenance charge. The other issue with the NiMH if your heat pump sto...

Maybe someone else can verify this, but can you leave it on the convenience charger or connected to the paddle charger? I thought these systems were designed not to over charge. Am I right? :Isaac: On Mon, Mar 28, 2011 at 11:59 AM, <[email removed]> wrote: > Greetings All, > >...

Does anyone know the part number for the BPCM from the battery box? Since I think that's one of our missing parts, I thought I'd start setting up some automated searches in case a matching part number shows up somewhere like on craigslist or ebay. Thanks, :Isaac:

We're still waiting for a photo of the battery box so we can identify what's been stolen from it. From my understand is that it was the electronic components (grey boxes) from inside the battery boxy. The rest of the box is still intact and the orange cabling is still there. A...

As with everything, that really depends upon the market and specific buyer. One data point: I saw a nice* S-10 pickup conversion with a dead battery pack sell on e-bay for around $6,500 in Florida a month ago. *where nice means good interior/exterior, but 5-10 years old. Of co...

Hello Niel You should not worry about some of the sensors gaining faster then the others. As soon as you turn on the key there is so much air movement it would not be long for the pack to equalize. If you turn off the key the pack fan will run for about 5 minutes. I doubt one...

What about using pulsed heating? Have a timer that heats for an hour, then off for 1/2 hour. Repeat that over and over. It will reduce the localized heating and allow things to equilibrate. Stephen in Oakland On Mar 3, 2011, at 9:02 PM, Niel Nielsen wrote: > I've been experime...
