Yeah, you would definitely want a new battery at that sort of range. It shows how bad the pack is if my degraded 14kwh pack can do 80km and the 24kwh one in the leaf cant do it.

Yep, that's just the plug for the controller

The yellow thing? Because that's an inline fuse holder.
Or do you mean the square box towards the bottom, that's an ignition relay.

I actually need to go through and put a heap of glands and grommets yet.
Its all on the infinitely long "to do" list

I once ran out of fuel while idling, waiting in line at the servo
But at least it was probably the most convenient place to run out of juice.

Yeah mokes aren't exactly feature rich...

I had the cover off the controller box so I thought I'd snap a pic of my handiwork and tetris skills IMG_20191016_181731.jpg Also the engine bay (I guess it's motor bay now) is looking more finished in general. IMG_20191016_181846.jpg Also also I've put the hazardous voltage stickers on the sides of...

I've finished fixing the gear linkage mounts and went for a short drive. The gear selector has never felt so good. Its no longer vague and I can shift gears without having to throw the stick from touching the dash to touching the seat. Ahh the luxury. Shifting gears is now possible and works well, e...

A negative contactor is just a contactor on the negative (0v) line out of the pack. The idea being it allows you to isolate both positive and negative outputs and it's safe to touch either terminal and there are no hazardous voltages without the system being powered up. In terms of isolating the cha...

I haven't stress tested it fully but I have had mine running 2 x 60w halogen lights, 2x 5w park lights and then assorted rear LEDs / indicators- didn't burst into flames.
Ill disconnect the battery this weekend and see what does on overload.

I used this
https://au.element14.com/mean-well/ddr- ... dp/3002980

Its 67.2v to 154v

My guess
Its a 64kwh pack so
96 cells x 3.7v is 355.2 round up to 356v
355.2v x 180ah = 63936wh rounded to 64kWh
Or 356v x 180ah = 64090Wh

Put a trampoline underneath every tree? Doesn't stop it but does fix it

Most dcdc converters I've seen that say they output 12v actually output around 14v. I think they just use 12v because that's the voltage that people know.
Check the datasheet/in depth specs to be sure

You have a hose that pumps ~40 litres per hour (600w dcdc) and a hole in the bottom that let's out 25 litres all the time and sometimes up to 60L(power steering). Maybe 35L on average. And then there is another hole with say about 10-20L coming out (all the rest of the 12v electrics). Thinking abou...

Found this, pretty pricey and you would need to talk to your engineer but it's definitely more elegant. https://www.ultimatepowersteering.com.au/microsteer-kit/ They also do universal hydraulic kits https://www.ultimatepowersteering.com.au/electric-power-steering-pump-kits/ 7-15a at idle and 45-55 w...

Think of it like water. You have a bucket with 24 litres in it (the pc680) (with a crack in the side by the sounds of things.) You have a hose that pumps ~40 litres per hour (600w dcdc) and a hole in the bottom that let's out 25 litres all the time and sometimes up to 60L(power steering). Maybe 35L ...

Alright, I was waiting for some better footage but here you go.

Unfortunately that's all I've got for now as the car is up on stands with the gear change parts hanging out while I try to slow down some of the oil leaks and fix the broken mounts

Well that's disappointing news. Hopefully without the vibration of the old engine it will last longer. Otherwise I guess it'll be the trusty mig to the rescue... again.

So I took the easy way out and just added a diagonal brace and used my hot (metal) glue gun until the problem went away. I'll worry about it if it breaks again. IMG_20191002_072637.jpg Redoing the steady has also cured the half shaft rubbing problem. :) I went for a test drive and it's really hard t...

On that note my daily driver (which does 80km per day but only 40km is charged at home) is just plugged into a bog standard 10a outlet. Through a power board and timer switch with a cheap Arlec extension cord no less. My wife's car get the luxury of the 15a outlet I had installed for running a welde...

@$375 for the genuine ones that's probably the best option. A few points from my experiences with roof racks- I've tried square bars before and they are noisy but handy because they're easy to tie onto. Cheap "aerodynamic" ones in my experience are noisier than good square ones but it's not hard to ...

I bought an outlander and was very unimpressed with the remote heating and cooling function. Its way too hard to change with a varying schedule. I did a little research and found a hack for the remote fob and I thought I should document it here. If you pry the remote apart and look at the board ther...

Looking very swish

You could use pretty much any car that has chademo as it's bi directional. Technically that means you could use an imiev or first gen leaf although that's probably pushing the limits of their small batteries, you'd probably want a battery pack with a few more spare kwh. As far as I'm aware there are...
