Good catch, Don, Kevin, my unit was from a ’98. And, BTW, I understand there are 75+ ‘97s free range and only 12 or so ’98s. If anyone has better numbers I would be interested in knowing them. Steve From: Don Blazer [mailto:[email removed]] Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2018 7:20 PM...

Thanks for the reply! I saw that and wish it was that easy. What I believe you have in that photo is actually the outside air valve. It's purpose is to allow a small amount of outside air into the box to purge any possible gases from the battery box. On top of the battery box...

I would expect DTC131 to set in the PCM if the BCA measured voltage and the BPCM voltage over UART do not agree in the situation you're describing. If you were to try rewiring the BPCM to measure all 27 modules between J1-1 and J1-32 then you would expect to see BPCM DTC219 wh...

Question for the group. If I were to add a 27th battery to my pack, there is obviously no signal wire to the computer. Total pack voltage would rise by 12 volts to 324 volts, but the total sensor wire voltage would still be 312 volts. Would this be a conflict to the BPCM? With...

Although I like the specs on these pouch cells, I haven't found a good price on them. After a quick search, It seems a 60 AH pack is between $7,000 to $21,000 using 3.2 V- 30 AH pouch cells at $52.00 each. To have a range of 400-450 miles, you're looking at 5 or 6 times that c...

Hi Eric, Thanks for the input. I think the 18650 cells are a better choice for several reasons. The Prismatic cells, often called "Yellow Bricks", don't have the energy density of 18650's and you can't even fit a 100 AH pack in our battery box. However, at 3.2 volts per cell,...

Ok gang coolant does matter. It must be Dexcool and will say it on the container. AutoZone or Oriellys, yes its typically orange. The conversion to NiMH from lead on the 1997s were not an easy modification. The programming of the BPCM alone was not enough to make it all work....
