Key Parts PbA/NiMH Interchangeability

 
 
  1. BulletBattery Control Module (BCM) - NiMH and PbA BCM are identical except for the software. They can both be flash programmed with either algorithm and are then interchangeable.

  2. BulletContactor Box Assembly (CBA) - PbA CBA are good for both PbA and NiMH. NiMH CBA don’t have the  pack heater control components required by the PbA. (Note: The NiMH part can still be used for PbA, but the battery heaters are disabled.)

  3. BulletIndependent Observer Module (IOM) - NiMH only

  4. BulletA/C Compressor/AC Power Box - Some early trucks had A/C Compressors wired directly to the AC Power Box. Later trucks had plug in connectors. The components from the two systems are not interchangeable.

  5. BulletBattery Enclosure - NiMH and PbA enclosures are different, but the PbA enclosure can be converted to be compatible with NiMH by installing fans and grills.

  6. BulletDC/DC Converter - Interchangeable

  7. BulletOn-board Charger - Interchangeable

  8. BulletPower Steering Pump - Interchangeable

  9. BulletPower Brake Vacuum Pump - Interchangeable

  10. BulletWater Pump - Interchangeable

  11. BulletBattery Charger - Interchangeable

  12. BulletPTC Heater Switch - Interchangeable

  13. BulletMotor - Interchangeable

  14. BulletTraction Control Module (TIM) - Interchangeable
