Hi Pat - I have a bit of experience with automotive LEDs. In fact here's one of the things I did to my Ranger EV: http://evnut.com/ranger_brake_led.htm (don't miss the time-lag vid!) Couple of things: 1. Changing out the brake lights will not give you any of the problems that...

Hi Steve, you likely caught sight of one of six NiMH S-10EV's owned by individuals on the peninsula. Most folk are surprised at the sharp appearance of these restored EV's, in spite of their age. I cross posted this reply to the S10-EV list, so the owner might respond. The NiM...

Hi S10 EVers, I know that there a lot of factors more important to range than the power used by the brake lights and turn signals, but under the banner of "every little bit helps", I thought I'd swap the incandescent lights on the S10 for LEDs. The first LEDs that I bought had...

I started wondering if it was possible to hook up two smaller 12V batteries, or maybe two smaller 6V batteries to get 12V, and have the S10EV recognize it as a single battery. Also, would this affect the recharging proceedure? It seems that it should be OK, but also it seems t...

Niel, I am glad your story had a happy ending. I just got my S10 EV in March and I loving it. The first day I drove it, I got the bat life light because, well, I did not know what I was doing. Luckily I was only 2 blocks from home at the time. I'm learning to be SOC aware as w...

Someone (namely me) forgot to plug the truck (NiMH) in one night recently, and my wife got in it the next day to go shopping. She didn't look at the SOC gauge until she started home, 15 miles away from home. She got a bat life light about 3 miles from home. That was too far to...
