Hi Everybody, Has anybody considered the question of what best to burn in the heaters? When I bought my S10 the heater tank was filled with diesel. I found it very smokey and stinky - not a good image for a vehicle I was trying to promote as good for the environment. I switche...

You need to talk to Tom Dowling about a charger. He has Gen 2 chargers available. The Convince charger is another story. First, several here will tell you it should be called an "Emergency" charger. It has been very unreliable. Before I knew this, I found one on eBay and paid...

Jeff, Thanks for the explanation. I still have some questions, if you don't mind. I'm still unclear why having one separator fail would cause this sort of problem. My understanding is that if one separator fails, there battery resistance doesn't drop to zero (in general), it j...

Once again, thanks to Jeff Thomas for the clarification about the batteries. I have done a bit more research, and the CSB EVX12650 battery has too high an internal resistance. You would need to use the CSB EVX12750 battery, which is 75 ah and has an internal resistance of 4.5...
