Just throwing out some thoughts on charging... I have a 97 lead-acid truck so I'm not familiar with the NiMH batteries. However, I did have to deal with some charging issues. Since the Panasonic's are not available, I installed 12V/75AH AGM batteries designed for UPS systems....

Hello Rayan Yes a NiMH pack can get way out of balance if it is not used on a regular basis. Also all these packs are not working with their full capacity, and are a combination of modules out of different EV1s. Its about a perfect storm for balance problems, and any sitting a...

Sounds exactly like my problems. It turned out one of my packs had a short that was causing the voltage diff and the E2. You should consider conditioning a new battery and replacing your bad pack, which seems to be #2. Pv On Oct 4, 2011 8:59 PM, "Stephen Weitz" <[email removed...

I have had similar problems and here are my "cures": 1) put on the AC to max and to the coldest blue setting. also put on the lights on the truck. The more amps diverted away from charging the batteries (while charging), the lower the voltage spread between max and min. batter...

Hi, Rick-- Not specifically. Your clue is that the compressor isn't running when it is supposed to be. Could be a lot of things, but the APCMs have a high failure rate. This is due to a mistake in the assembly process design that would have been corrected in Version 2, if ther...

I have been thinking about your event. The area your describing is about where the pre charge resistors are located. When they blow they do make some noise and they smell really bad when you remove the PIM cover. They are also not visible with the cover removed. So maybe its n...

Well this brings up a good question. I bought two PIM's many years ago when the list price I think was around 3300. If I recall correctly they came in from GM being called remanufactured. Cost was around 2200 each. I believe this is the most complex and game over part on the S...

Off hand that sounds like the resistor board that blows up when the caps go bad. A simple circuit board with maybe $20 worth of wire wound resistors and then some expensive conformal coating on top. I'd double check those caps. And dig in to see the source of smoke. Assuming y...
