I have been thinking about your event. The area your describing is about where the pre charge resistors are located. When they blow they do make some noise and they smell really bad when you remove the PIM cover. They are also not visible with the cover removed. So maybe its n...

Hi Folks, I have the other S-10 in Colorado, a 98 NiMH from EVBones. My APCM is probably failing also. It started "not charging" when ambient temp was cold (>40 deg F) and then stopped charging when ambient temp was too hot (>70 deg F). Charging would abort with E2. Now it onl...

Hello Niel You should not worry about some of the sensors gaining faster then the others. As soon as you turn on the key there is so much air movement it would not be long for the pack to equalize. If you turn off the key the pack fan will run for about 5 minutes. I doubt one...

What about using pulsed heating? Have a timer that heats for an hour, then off for 1/2 hour. Repeat that over and over. It will reduce the localized heating and allow things to equilibrate. Stephen in Oakland On Mar 3, 2011, at 9:02 PM, Niel Nielsen wrote: > I've been experime...
