[S10-EV] S10-EV Digest, Vol 127, Issue 19
I suspect that your drop in range on the new RAV4-EV is due to lower average temperatures lately in So CA. (I'm in Huntington Beach.) I was somewhat alarmed to see the same thing in our 2011 Leaf and Volt as Winter approached. Range came right back up in the late Spring the fo...

[S10-EV] NiMH Self Discharge Rate
Richard: I?m assuming you have the service manuals & scan tool? having attempted this battery swap. The pack voltage ought be fine according to what you indicate. I?d clear everything and start fresh, seeing which codes reappear. I?d be most worried about DTC 280, as it contro...

Re: Lithium Conversion I keep seeing Rich Hatfield's question on the no wakeup function of his Li Pack ever since he installed a replacement battery blower. It the lack of a response the result of no one having a verifiable answer or was there a reply which I don't understand...
[S10-EV] Capacitor Issue & Ovonics NiMH batteries
That's a great post from Niel regarding the 4 filter caps in the PIM - clear explanation of why these caps are failing - it should have been written 6 years ago! What voltage are the replacement caps Jeff found rated for? I understand Don has a supply? The original caps were 2...
[S10-EV] Standardization & aftermarket availability of EV batteries
It is nice to see activity here. But every time I see the capacitor issue come up I get a lump in my throat. My truck, (even thou my batteries are showing their age), is running great. So to have a capacitor blow would destroy my truck. However, my truck is a lead acid truck,...
[S10-EV] NiMH Self Discharge Rate
Hi, Don-- Indeed that was an evBones NiMH conversion, so a 1997, I believe, the very one which I traded to Richard Hatfield himself for his 2006 home-brew-plug-in Prius (with an added 10 kWh of aftermarket Lithiums) with which I am still quite happy. I'm glad to hear that the...

[S10-EV] Pack fan Issue
Richard, I agree with Gil--I have experienced the same problem of the connector failure in the +12 wire that feeds the pack fan. The test, as Gill states, is pushing a pin through the wire and then commanding the fan on with the tech 2., and measuring the voltage on the pin. O...

Thank you for your help. We have 4 DTCs. One is pack airflow, the other three if i remember correctly are related to startup. I am at the SEMA show today and don't have access to the codes. I will forward them when I return. Richard Hatfield Lightning Motorcycle On Nov 7, 2013...

Gil was that a 1997? If I recall correctly that did come up on the 1997 but not the 1998. Don In a message dated 11/7/2013 10:13:21 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, [email removed] writes: Hi, Richard-- Check the power supply voltage (stick a pin through the wire) right at the blow...
[S10-EV] NiMH Self Discharge Rate
Hi, Richard-- Check the power supply voltage (stick a pin through the wire) right at the blower. I think it's the red wire. The other two are ground and an on/off command voltage. It should read about 12 volts when the blower is commanded OFF and slightly lower when commanded...
[S10-EV] NiMH Self Discharge Rate
Hello Richard There are no DTC codes? If not then try disconnecting the accessory battery then the high voltage disconnect plug. Wait a few minutes then connect the high voltage disconnect plug then the accessory battery. It has to be done in this order. Sometimes you need to...
[S10-EV] NiMH Self Discharge Rate
Since the group is checking in I have a question. We have installed a lithium conversion in Rayan's S10-EV. All 26 banks are reading 13.32vdc to 13.34vdc and all temp sensors are reading ambient. We replaced the battery blower due to a bearing failure and board failure on the...

[S10-EV] NiMH Self Discharge Rate
It was just a theory - one of my RAV4 EVs had an issue with main contactors, where sometimes the contactors will stay closed. Sometimes they will open. This may be due to external load that should not be there while the contactor is opening...I was not able to confirm this. I...

I have a 1995 Desert Lightning S10 Electric truck with lead batteries that I need to update to some lithium soon. I see options on here lately. I have this problem.... I disconnect the wires from a burned out controller a few months ago and the tape that I labelled the connect...
[S10-EV] NiMH Self Discharge Rate
Interesting theory Nikolay, but I don't know if it really holds water. Neil's observation is very valuable and it's raised my curiosity. I guess it is all worth checking out next time I'm inside the pack with a multimeter. Having just studied the wiring diagram, I can see that...
[S10-EV] NiMH Self Discharge Rate
Self discharge depends a lot on temperature If you fully charge a pack and it warms up to eighty plus degrees and don't drive it. You will lose capacity quickly. The tray retains heat for quite a long time. The NiMH modules also produce a little heat as they self discharge. Th...

Don, good to hear from you...! I still have parts from two dismantled S10-EVs I listed for you and would be glad to let them go to anyone for any offer if they are needed. ?Since I can't test them, I will refund if anything I supply is not functional. You mentioned doing a Lit...

I thought I'd better stick my hand up too and be counted. I purchased a 97 PbA last year that had been sitting at one of the USAF bases and had it shipped to the Pacific northwest. It was in pretty good shape (except for the batteries of course). My goal was a learning experie...
[S10-EV] NiMH Self Discharge Rate
I would imagine that the reason for the high "self discharge" rate of the pack can be a stuck pre-charge relay. On Wednesday, November 6, 2013 10:00 AM, Niel Nielsen <[email removed]> wrote: I have a '98 native NiMH.? Over the years I have occasionally had to leave it sit for...

Robert: After dropping the pack the first time I installed a set of cables & external connector that bypasses the main contactor. This way I can hook up an external DC source to charge / piggyback, or use the pack as a supply for something else. I had a few experiments in mind...

This is Ralph again, the non-owner-"lurker" to the group, I learned a great deal by osmosis about EVs from reading the many posts over the last year. I have property in a retirement community and have found that even keeping a simple golf cart running can be a challenge. I jus...

For those of you attempting to sell, best of luck getting anything for them. Except for the expired main pack, my S10-EV was mint. And I mean MINT. I had everything for it too, clear title, functional charger unit, manuals, scan tool... It sold last Spring for a measly $5k. I...
