Hello Richard I get the list in digest so I don't know if this has already been answered. You can reset the SOC to zero but you are not able to set the SOC. Its good you went through the current sensor. What you can do is turn the truck on while charging. I have not done this...

I was wondering about what it would take for a lithium ion upgrade. Would it require using a kWh gauge to measure the SOC? I've seen a few out there on the market. Wouldn't the S10 firmware need to be updated to be able to properly read the SOC of a different type of pack? On...

Did the SOC *start* at zero before charging from 110V? Could the current sensor threshold be above the rate at which you charge at 110V? Just a couple questions that came to mind. Greg Brewsaugh On Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 8:33 AM, <[email removed]>wrote: > Good morning, > > Can a...

Michael; Sounds like a bad idea. The original lead batteries are about 7.9 liters each, weigh 40 lbs. You are trying to replace with 13.7 liters and 70 lbs each. That will put you 790 lbs overweight on a vehicle with 950 lbs total payload, and looking for another 151 liters of...
