The Seattle S10 was a native NIMH. It really doesn't matter much because the condition of most of these truck's batteries before Jeff gets to them is probably pretty bad, so he would probably recondition them all the same way, swapping out batteries as appropriate. I don't thi...

I wish to thank Jeff for the time he has expended to ferret out this rather convoluted problem. My only question is were the vehicles that burned equipped with NiMH as they were assembled or are they some of those which were converted by EV Bones. It was my conception that the...

Has this charger ever worked with your truck? A 40A 2-pole breaker is correct. The circuit should be fed by two hot legs of the three-phase service. The voltage between the two hot legs should be right around 208V. Tom Dowling From: [email removed] [mailto:[email removed]] On...
