Hi, everybody. My 1998 S10E is now charging and running, after replacment of the auxillary battery. The old battery was two years old, and its voltage, while still sufficent to power the instruments and radio, had apparently declined too far for charging. I am deeply grateful...

Sometime ago I emailed the group. My question was does it matter were ?the original shunt in the battery box is wired into. Many responded that the computor simplies reads the voltage drop across the the shunt in theory it should not matter were it is wired into.? So I wired i...

The Electric Auto Association (EAA) has several used GM Gen 2 large-paddle chargers. Sorry, no 120V convenience chargers. Price $275, plus tax if shipped to a California address, plus packing and freight charges from Folsom, CA. Refurbished cosmetically, and tested for normal...

I'll add that with the PbA pack, the CC won't work in cold weather because there is a thermal request to heat the pack below (about) 40 degrees. I'm using my CC every day right now in Delaware. I charge with the 220 charger at home, drive my 18 miles in to work then charge wit...

If your S-10 is a NiMH version, the Convenience Charger (CC) won't work. This was the case with NiMH EV-1, and the S-10EV uses the same propulsion system. The active battery cooling using the HVAC pulls more current than the CC can provide while charging in warm environments....

Hello Stephen If I recall correctly the history of the codes will roll off with one hundred cycles of the key. To clear current codes requires the Tech2. I see you have already done that. Don To: S10 EV Archive <[email removed] (mailto:[email removed]) > Date: Sun, 25 Apr 2010...

Stephen, I have seen DTC #274 caused by varying battery voltages (i.e. an imbalanced pack). Also, I believe that cycling the ignition is just an alternate way of clearing certain DTCs without a scan tool. If you have the Tech2, there's no need (or advantage) to cycle the ignit...

You will probably have to go through a full charge cycle to settle the gauge. My 97 will loose it's "memory" if I simply unplug the high voltage disconnect and accessory battery. After a full charge it goes back to normal. Kevin McMullin ________________________________ From:...

Gil, No it wasn't the heat switch. I came across a? (yours?) post concerning that in the archives. I did finally get both trucks cooling, perhaps it was a sticking valve or maybe it had something to do with swapping the battery pack air flow sensor from 1 truck to the other. 1...

I think that that shunt is a calibrated resistor. By measuring the voltage (in millivolts, I expect) across it, the computer measures the current flowing through all 26 batteries. So, in theory, it could go anywhere in the series circuit. Same with the fuse, I imagine. --Gil O...
