Hi, I have a '98 S-10 with NiMH purchased from Stephen Pew last year. Here in Seattle I try to drive the truck everyday but might only happen 5 days a week. Lots of hills so my range is at best 25 miles. I'm wondering if lithium is in my future?! Richard Sent from my iPad On J...

I retired a month ago and drive mine every day. Usually less than 15 miles per charge to be nice to the Deka 75 AH lead acid batteries. I know it will go a lot further but I don't even get close to half on the SOC. A lot of work to make them fit but all 26 are in the box. Almo...

I put my truck for sale as is on ebay. It still need the APCM. We have our second child due next week and were thinking of selling it anyway. At a minimum it should provide donor parts (including an EV bones battery pack with only 8000 in-town miles on it.) Otherwise it should...

Hi Folks, I have the other S-10 in Colorado, a 98 NiMH from EVBones. My APCM is probably failing also. It started "not charging" when ambient temp was cold (>40 deg F) and then stopped charging when ambient temp was too hot (>70 deg F). Charging would abort with E2. Now it onl...

This may not be possible and I may be crazy, but has anyone checked on the specs for the APCM for the Chevy Volt to see if it is compatible in power output and capabilities as the EV1/S10-EV APCM? I am not suggesting that it will plug right it and work, but maybe we can develo...

John-- Your codes are consistent with the malfunction of your Auxilliary Power Control Module. Two of its functions are to supply variable-frequency 110V AC to your compressor and to charge the 12V Auxilliary battery. --Gil On May 4, 2011, at 9:10 PM, [email removed] wrote: >...
