Actually, if someone could look inside the receptacle and see if the roller on the left is in the way of the paddle, that would tell me it has to move when the paddle is inserted. Mine is not protruding into the receptacle and it may be stuck. Kevin McMullin __________________...

Hello Kevin I have never had this issue so I know nothing about it. Jeff would have the most knowledge of anyone on the trucks. The temp sensor fails once in a while in the charge port even that is not a common event. Maybe someone else has fixed this and not posted it? I don'...

Hello Kevin One of two problems with the over temp DTC. Either the pump or the temp sensor in the port. Since it was showing 145 degrees I would speculate it is the pump. You can remove the cap on the coolant reservoir and their should be a steady stream of coolant. You can fe...

It would be my post below. The SOC will adjust for low modules but you should not have that problem with a good pack of lithium. As long as the modules are holding up and staying in balance all the BMS will track amps in and out. Ideal would be modules that can balance themsel...

Hello Naiche Yes and no. To do it correctly would take reprogramming the truck for a different chemistry. The only one that could do that would be GM. The truck will track amps in and out so that will give a SOC you can use. If the truck SOC works by only counting amps it will...

Negative delta V applies to the nickel chemistries (NiCd, NiMH). Not Lead (or any others that I'm aware of). It is especially apparent in NiCd. Less so in NiMH. At the end of charge, Nickel chemistries actually show a very slight DROP in voltage. (It's *very* slight in compari...

Don, I took the graph you referenced and multiplied the cycle number by the mileage of a full cycle. I used 70 miles when new. I didn't factor the loss over time so the real numbers would be less than calculated. but here are the numbers: 100% DOD = 70 miles x 700 cycles = 49,...
