Re: Aftermarket iMiEV battery upgrade project

Great news Hamza.
Good to know that the cells are evenly charged, being several weeks on their
journey to WA. It was an altogether different situation with the cells I tried to replace the pack in my iMiEV......
We look forward to more reports on the project

Re: VIC to introduce EV and PHEV road tax

Almost $2000 refund. I just have to remember NOT to complain about the appalling standard of our sealed roads - if I want to avoid blowback from the less well off, and those struggling with cost of living pressures. Wow. Only $143 for me. I did not pay the last installment as it was due just shortl...

Re: VIC to introduce EV and PHEV road tax

I take liberty of quoting a post from Whirlpool Electric Vehicle thread I wrote a short while ago. Good news then, for us EV drivers! I am glad of the ruling . Yet I still accept that we have to pay for the up keep of the roads eventually. A tax per km x weight may be an acceptable compromise, but i...

Re: iMiEV charging, J1772 testing

As a side-note, fitting an AVC2 board will enable an 8A portable charger to turn on, but the car will draw 12.5A through it - which the portable charger is unlikely to be happy about! On the other hand, the Mode 1 lead (as in the 'no-brick' lead it came with) still works fine even if you fit the AV...

Re: Aftermarket iMiEV battery upgrade project

Do you know how much current the active balancer can bypass? If the V difference exceeds 0.1V, it shunts 0.5 to 0.7 A, if it exceeds 0.2 then it shunts 1.2 A. I did not measure if this is correct. But it is obviously not very much. I now made an experiment. I accelerated extremely hard,and observed...

The balancers start to balance if the volt difference is more than 100mV and bring the cells back to within 30mV. very interesting, I use the same balancers in several home storage applications, these data was unknow to me till now That is the specification supplied.

Wow, those 60 Ah NMC cells were pretty ordinary then. This is probably a better way to use them for mobility, as they would have had a short life on their own. Definitely only a home storage cell in any other use case. Yes at full working amps I don't think they would be still alive, I hope halving...
