Steve you dont understand how the system works. The charger is just that...a charger. The charge profile information is stored in the computers that control the vehicle. The BPCM in particular holds the charge profile for different battery chemistries. You program the ECUs on...

Hello Stephen 50 degrees is the inlet temperature reading before reaching the tray. You can get this reading with a Tech2. If you pull the paddle when the A/C is running it stops the cooling of the pack. What you hear running is just the pack fan and that will turn off in 5 or...

Hello Stephen Yes it is better if you charge when they are cool and just before you drive. I would advise not to pull the paddle during the charge cycle with the A/C running. I am not implying this has any thing to do with starting a fire. Just what is best for NiMH life. If y...

Jeff, I tend to charge in the morning when the batteries are cool and I stop charging when the AC comes on so, in theory, the batteries never get very hot. Does that sound safer to you? Stephen On Apr 25, 2008, at 9:13 PM, Jeff Thomas wrote: > *** NOTICE TO OWNERS OF FACTORY B...

You mean for the fuel-fired heater? It's not a fuse. It's just a plug that you short-circuit to get it to run the test. The plug is in the engine compartment on the passenger side near the radio antenna. It is a fairly loose dangling plug that is not connected to anything and...
