I don't know of any tricks. As I said, "The setting means 'don't start charging if I insert the paddle during this period, but do start charging once this period ends, and do start charging immediately if I insert the paddle outside this period.'" It's all about delaying the s...

Tom, Thanks for the reply. My serial number starts with SM4700. My problem is that it comes on correctly at 3:00 am, charges the vehicle, and stops, at about 5-6 am. Then, about 4 hours later (at 10:00 am for instance), it comes on again to "top off" the batteries, essentially...

This must be a Gen 2 (or Gen2+) charger - serial number starting with SM45276P or SM4770P. You can delay the start of charging, but you can't stop charging once it's started. The charger's timer is set up to inhibit the start of charging during peak utility times. There are st...

Hi S10 EVers, I know that there a lot of factors more important to range than the power used by the brake lights and turn signals, but under the banner of "every little bit helps", I thought I'd swap the incandescent lights on the S10 for LEDs. The first LEDs that I bought had...
