I don't write often, but occasionally try to offer insight. To correct a factual error: the S10 EV equalization cycle lasts for 2 hours at 5 amps. I just finished recording one which was initiated on purpose with the Tech 2 scan tool, while recording all module voltages, tempe...

First off and I am not one who came up with this quote. The NiMH battery is one of the most difficult chemistries to establish if it fully charged. Its a complex algorithm of voltage drop combined with a temperature rise it will then have reached full capacity. As the voltage...

Hi Ryan, Richard Hatfield has converted his S-10 to Lithium. I think there were some issues, but he was able to make some 80 mile trips with it. If I recall correctly, he used two sets of four 40 AH Thundersky cells in parallel to replace each NiMH module. The main reason for...

Hi, Scott-- E2 simply means Vehicle Fault. That and Standby both mean the onboard computers decided to stop. Odd no DTCs, though. Magnitude of the delay (5 minutes) suggests perhaps temperature-related issue. Monitor battery temps during charging. Also battery pack fan airflow...

If you are using the original lead or nickel batteries, and can keep your box intact, and you have the means to lower the box, certainly keep it that way. My 97 is a lead truck and of course, GM will not sell me the Panasonics that would have dropped right in. I found a Deka 7...

Tilting the bed probably creates more problems than it solves. Once you bother to drop the pack once, you will see that it is the easier choice. If you tilt the bed it doesn't really solve much. Because the batteries are on two levels, you would only be able to access half of...
