I also own an S10e which has spent about the last 18 months at Don's in Portland. He has had a myriad of problems both business and health which have prevented him from completing the battery replacement. The truck's APCM smoked because the Aux battery shorted which has added...

Well, I've lost the packs on my trucks this summer. I think that the heat got too much for the NiMH. I had to stop storing the truck in the garage, to make room for the Leaf. So, I'm on the lookout for battery options. Haven't heard anything from the folks in Oregon, like Don....

Hi Kevin, I'm the guy in the Northeast that modified the battery box. Mine is still on the road with about 12K miles on the Deka 12AVR75 batteries. The box modification gave me a few benefits. I converted the bed to tilt and the top part of the box is removable. I can get to a...

I forgot to "reply-all" to include the list server, below is my original note to Tom Chou. Some additional info: The Ovonic NiMh modules tend to self-discharge very quickly. Usually down to about 50% SOC if I leave the truck sitting for 2 weeks. In comparison my Rav4 EV will e...

OK, you inspired me to reply! I used to own one, but sold it a few years ago. The guys who bought it were great, and I'm hoping that they are still enthusiastic. There was one joker from Miami who I also tried to help, even sending him a DVD with the complete manuals for the t...

I looked into buying one for a long time. I've got a lot of S10e parts from my hybrid Fiero project I did in 2009-2010. Unfortunately, other people seem to think they're worth an awful lot more than I do so I never have owned a complete truck. I'd still like to have one, but t...
