Key Parts PbA/NiMH Interchangeability
Battery 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.
Contactor 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.)
Independent Observer Module (IOM) - NiMH only
A/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.
