I had used a couple of optimia for a week or two when I had a meltdown with one of my GM batteries, you can get two optima in the same space as two of the GMs, you will need to cut a notch in the base of the optima inbetween two of the cells to make it fit. Also the posts on t...

Several S-10 drivers have taken off the rear bumper and installed a roll pan in its place. You lose the weight of the bumper and personally I think it looks better. Fiberglass does not weigh much less than steel if you maintain close to the same integrity of the panel. A steel...

Hello Gil I think it is wrong to compare the S-10 to the RAV4. They are different vehicles for different uses. One is more of a passenger vehicle the other a truck. This is apples and oranges and you just cannot use the results to say one is better than the other. Also I would...

Toyota used larger batteries (95AH v 85AH) If the size and number of the cells in modules were exactly the same this would apply. However Volts times Amps equal watts. So if you increase the volts but decrease the amps or increase the amps and lower the volts that needs to be...

The RAV4 is lighter and has a 50 KW motor. The S10 is much heavier and has an 85 KW motor I think. So it uses more electricity to get around. The RAV4 uses fans to cool the batteries. The S10 used a heatpump which uses much more energy. The batteries on the S10 do not have the...
