Hello Scott I think there are a couple of other trucks that have recently had New 1255 installed. It would take a while before anyone figures out what they can really stand up to. Driver and driving conditions would also have an impact. Yes higher energy in and out but not mad...

I believe I may be the only S10 Electric that is currently using the EV-HV1255 battery. That said I guess I am the guinea pig. I have as a lot of other people, tried to get the 1260 batteries or any other battery to get my truck operational. I called Panasonic in the US and ha...

I recently blew a battery and have been searching for a replacement. I went to a local dealer with the same part number you have (for the EC-HV1255). The parts guy sold me two and said they were coming from the only place that had them, in Kansas, and that it would take about...

Yes it should "lurch" every few seconds but it is subtly different with every truck. If your pedal pots were a problems you would get a accell pedal correlation dtc. look at the scan tool during driving @ data page 0 (I believe) and watch the - amps when coasting. About 4 sec...

What is your battery temperature? Are you sure your AC is running? This sounds a lot like what happened to me a month or two ago. A valve stuck in the heat pump - batteries got up to 120 F - charger would try, but then quit - many of the same error codes you are seeing. . . ?R...

My naive guess would be that it is a problem w/ the battery temperature sensors. There seems to have been a recent spree of a lot of them going out recently. I know 3 of the 6+ S10EVs in Seattle have needed their sensors replaced. The only way to do this is to crack the pack o...
