I have a 97 lead acid S-10 that I am finishing up installing new North Star Batteries. I was able to fit all 26 in the compartment. My question is in regard to the large shunt and fuse assembly in the battery compartment. I am looking at the wiring diagram and it looks to me l...

I do not think the sensor has to touch the battery. (Mine don't). I believe it would be more important to install all of the sensors in the same way so they pick up the readings the same way. Kevin McMullin ________________________________ From: [email removed] [mailto:[email...

Hi, everybody. My 1998 S10E has stopped accepting a charge (the charger reports E2), and will not move on its own power. Instruments all light up, and report "service now" and "battery life". I'm not sure why, but I was recently sick for 2 weeks while the truck sat idle, so my...

It went under the hood where the stock GM inverter mounted, that is why the radiator expansion tank had to be relocated. The AC-150 is bigger than the GM inverter because it is air cooled and has an air plenum under the inverter to cool the phase modules. The AC-150 has been r...

Hello Kevin As Jeff stated electronics is not one of my strong points. Since you have a lead truck my belief is some where around 60 Amp hours the BMS is going to shut down charging. It will allow a little more for balancing on some charge cycles but it should shut down. With...
