Jay, Jeff at EV Bones may have some numbers of existing trucks for you. Also, many lead acid trucks may need batteries soon, but the NMH trucks may not need them for years. Stephen in Oakland On Feb 25, 2007, at 4:59 PM, Jay Smith wrote: > Hello all > > I have a 1994 S-10, whi...

Hello all I have a 1994 S-10, which was designed to run on two sets of 26 lead acid cells at 312 volts. I talked to a guy who has a 98 and he said he only had one set of NiCd at 312v. I am trying to talk a company called Altair Nano into building some custom lithium cells for...

If it's the same thing I do with "dead" Nickel batteries to "revive" them, I hit them hard with as many amps as I think they can handle (without self destructing their internal wiring) for a few seconds. I use an RC car pack charger that puts out several (~4-5) amps at ~10 vol...
