Hello Naiche Yes and no. To do it correctly would take reprogramming the truck for a different chemistry. The only one that could do that would be GM. The truck will track amps in and out so that will give a SOC you can use. If the truck SOC works by only counting amps it will...

Negative delta V applies to the nickel chemistries (NiCd, NiMH). Not Lead (or any others that I'm aware of). It is especially apparent in NiCd. Less so in NiMH. At the end of charge, Nickel chemistries actually show a very slight DROP in voltage. (It's *very* slight in compari...

Hello Steve Yes hard to believe you could get 300,000 cycles considering the added heat at top of charge. You would think that alone would reduce a lot of cycle life. You would have to factor in calendar life as well. At some point age is going take its toll. However if you ke...

Don, I took the graph you referenced and multiplied the cycle number by the mileage of a full cycle. I used 70 miles when new. I didn't factor the loss over time so the real numbers would be less than calculated. but here are the numbers: 100% DOD = 70 miles x 700 cycles = 49,...

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...

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...
