Great timing Jeff! I just recently crossed 3000 miles and today while driving to work my S10's "Service Soon" light came on. I gave Jeff a quick call and it seems like my heat pump cooling fan has given out. I less than 3 miles from work and it was all downhill, so I finished...

Thanks for the reply Jerry. It's interesting that you got the similar results when you tried charging a NiMH S10 with the convenience charger, many years ago. I often have to unplug and re-plug the convenience charger to keep it going. I also try re-seating the paddle, and thi...
