Hello to all the remaining S10-EV fans, I wish I could help with this project. However, if anybody is interested in the EVs "back in the day," that is a great website to find out. I always was interested in the Chrysler T-Van, with the Ni-Fe batteries. Good luck to Steve with...

That must be a regular S10 converted. The only factory S10-EVs produced were in 1997 and 1998. There was also, from the factory, a neat little "ELECTRIC" emblem on the doors, and maybe the tailgate too IIRC. There were several people from years ago, Don in Oregon and Kevin in...

I'm building my lithium packs to 13 volt 60 AH. I have to limit charge voltage to each of the 4 parallel packs that make up a module to 3.6v. I looked into removing the BPCM but I would like to keep everything it controls intact. Happy Connecting. Sent from my Sprint Samsung G...

I would expect DTC131 to set in the PCM if the BCA measured voltage and the BPCM voltage over UART do not agree in the situation you're describing. If you were to try rewiring the BPCM to measure all 27 modules between J1-1 and J1-32 then you would expect to see BPCM DTC219 wh...

If the idea of paralleling 2- 60 AH packs works, you should get 100 mile range. In a message dated 8/24/2017 11:46:39 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email removed] writes: Are the Leaf batteries pouch cells? They appear to show a similar dimension. You can buy the whole car for...

Although I like the specs on these pouch cells, I haven't found a good price on them. After a quick search, It seems a 60 AH pack is between $7,000 to $21,000 using 3.2 V- 30 AH pouch cells at $52.00 each. To have a range of 400-450 miles, you're looking at 5 or 6 times that c...

Ok gang coolant does matter. It must be Dexcool and will say it on the container. AutoZone or Oriellys, yes its typically orange. The conversion to NiMH from lead on the 1997s were not an easy modification. The programming of the BPCM alone was not enough to make it all work....
