Hi All, Just a note to say that we have successfully converted a 1997 GM S10 to use Hawker G70EP modules. ($175each and 10 more amp hours) That are larger in width than the Panasonics so some rearrangement of the battery box was necessary. 8 of the 26 modules ended up in the b...

I also have an extra Gen1 MagneCharger you can have for free. (assuming this is a factory S-10E that uses the large paddle inductive interface). I'm located in Orange County, CA if that's more convenient for you to pick-up. These weigh about 70 lbs, so shipping outside of stat...

Hi Jerry, Thanks for the run down. Re-inserting the paddle did not do the trick in my case, although admittedly I only tried it once. I'm running lead acid Panasonics, so my firmware might be slightly different as well. Never had a range surprise on this truck, and it's always...

In the EV1, it took twice the energy to move at 80mph than at 60mph. I'm certain this is true for any shape. 70 mph in the S10 is fatal to the range. If I'm going for distance, I stay to the right, use the cruse control to maintain 55mph or 60mph, (because a mile a minute is p...

Jerry, The SOC gauge on the S10E is rather confusing, and takes some getting used to. There are seven major divisions. In reality, there's a phantom eighth division. It's easiest to conceptualize if you think of the guage as having eight divisions, each 1/8 (12.5%) of the tota...
