Hi Ryan, The resistor is adjacent to the BPCM on the shortest pigtail. Easy to see when your pack is open. You will also need TIS2000 software on a XP machine in addition to the tech2 to complete pass-through programing. Steve From: Ryan Dela [mailto:[email removed]] Sent: Tue...

Thank you for the information Steve. I will scour the manual to look for where I can find this resistor in the vehicle. I have avoided using the Tech 2 to make changes, it sounds like I will have to get more comfortable to get this converted back. The modifications to the batt...

Hi Ryan, I am not sure of everything that Jeff did in his conversations (I have one of his packs in a truck but have not opened it up yet). Nevertheless, I generally believe you would only need to reprogram the BPCM to the PbA calibration. You would have two choices of PbA cal...

Hi Kevin, et al, If I understand it correctly, non-EE here, it was originally considered mostly an NIMH issue because the higher voltage of the NIMH pack was closer to the max. rating of the caps, 450vdc. However, and I believe this is correct, as the years go by and the caps...

Regarding the use of the Ovonic NiMH modules While they might be useable, to do so however is with great risk. NiMH chemistry charging is done with overcharging balancing, which puts them in high risk of thermal runaway, and catching on fire. If you we?re going to use the Ovon...
