I have found early morning charging (cool temps.) and only charging to 3/4 capacity will keep the A/C from going on. You might be able to use conductive charging and not worry about temperature issues if you follows these rules. However, you still have the "state of charge" in...

Hi, Joshua-- RPM means Reduced Power Mode. It'll go no faster than 25 on the level and it won't climb a decent hill. Quite a bother when it happens on the freeway, as it used to do often with our truck's old PbA batteries. Back then I had to go the long way around to get home...

Gentlemen, the S-10EV utilizes a sealed battery box with active refrigeration for pack cooling. Whereas the Rav utilizes passive cooling only. During charge, the S-10EV pack temperature is limited to 87 degrees F in order to maximize charge energy, efficiency, and battery cycl...

A quick telephone call to the manufacturer disclosed that their product probably *will not* work with the S-10EV. But you're welcome to buy it, and try it, and possibly eat it. Not likely they'll accept a return. That's why they want you to check the compatibility list first....
